The new Minister of the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement is Stephen Crawford.

We have tried for weeks to obtain a meeting with him to discuss OMVIC’s fee increases, spending and funding options. To date, those efforts have been unsuccessful.

With Sept. 1st fast approaching, and the transaction fee set to rise to $22, we feel this is disrespectful to dealers as a meeting with a new Minister, especially when there are important issues to discuss, is fairly routine.

While the UCDA has and will continue to communicate its concerns to the Premier and the Minister, another effective way to bring your concerns about these issues is for you to write to the Minister and the Premier yourself.

Ask to meet with your local MPP to brief them on the impact of these fees on your operations, especially in light of the current economic uncertainty, and request that they communicate your concerns to the Minister.

We invite dealers to have their voices heard and let your representatives at Queen’s Park hear from YOU. If you need help with a letter, we drafted one for you at: https://www.ucda.org/omvic- transaction-fee/
