One of the NDP's most popular policies at the Provincial level before the US-Canada free trade agreement was to vest a Crown Corporation with a monopoly over automobile insurance (autoplan).

Many will recall that Ontario was seriously considering joining BC & Saskatchewan be establishing such a scheme but that this was scotched in the wake of the free trade agreement. 

Logically, the Ontario NDP (& the NDP in other Provinces without an autoplan) will resurrect this popular proposal if the current legal barriers under NAFTA & the earlier Canada/US free trade deal cease to apply.

On the other hand, voices will be raised in Ottawa & elsewhere that the Provinces shouldn't establish public autoplan schemes as doing so will become a US/Canada trade irritant. 

This is thus another example of the sort of domestic debate that will mark Canadian public policy development post-NAFTA etc.
