Question 73

One that is owned and operated by the Government of Alberta

Vehicles owned and operated by the Government of Alberta are exempt from the requirement to purchase basic Autoplan insurance.

A) One that is owned by a resident of British Columbia

This option is incorrect because all vehicles owned by residents of British Columbia are required to have basic Autoplan insurance. Residency does not exempt a vehicle from insurance obligations under provincial law.

B) One that is owned and operated by the Government of Alberta

This option is correct as vehicles owned and operated by the Government of Alberta are specifically exempted from the requirement to purchase basic Autoplan insurance, as outlined in the relevant legislation.

C) One that is owned and operated by the Government of British Columbia

This option is incorrect because, while government vehicles may have specific insurance provisions, they are not universally exempt from the requirement to purchase basic Autoplan insurance as per provincial regulations.

D) One that is owned by a Government of Canada employee who resides in British Columbia

This option is incorrect as the mere employment by the Government of Canada does not grant an exemption for vehicles owned by employees. Such vehicles are still subject to the basic Autoplan insurance requirements in British Columbia.

Conclusion

The exemption for vehicles owned and operated by the Government of Alberta is clearly defined within the insurance regulations, making it the only correct choice. All other options involve categories of ownership or residency that do not qualify for such exemptions under the law, reinforcing the specificity of the exemption tied to government ownership in Alberta.
