Whereas municipal governments provide essential services to the residents and businesses in their communities; and Whereas the ability to provide those services is negatively impacted by exponentially rising insurance costs; and Whereas one driver of rising insurance costs is the legal principle of ‘joint and several liability,’ which assigns disproportionate liability to municipalities for an incident relative to their responsibility for it; and Whereas, the Government of Ontario has the authority and responsibility for the legal framework of ‘joint and several liability; and Whereas the Premier of Ontario committed to review the issue in 2018 with a view to helping municipal governments manage their risks and costs; and Whereas the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) on behalf of municipal governments has provided recommendations in 2019 through its submission to the Attorney General of Ontario titled: Towards a Reasonable Balance – Addressing Growing Municipal Liability and Insurance Costs to align municipal liability with the proportionate responsibility for incidents and capping awards; Therefore Be It Resolved: 1.
