I could not navigate stairs at all. >> Reporter: she says the situation wasn't necessary because the airport does have jet bridges to get passengers on and off planes. >> Several of the other aircraft around us -- but it wasn't a lack of them not having the jet bridge, it's just our particular aircraft was not built for them. >> Reporter: in a statement to cbc news, a representative for air canada said, the costa rica airport was not able to make an aircraft bridge available, requiring us toter in ative method of having customers get on and off -- an alternative method -- the plane.

Thanks for being here. >> Interview: you're welcome, robin. >> Robyn: for who sells insurance, what are you hearing on the rise of auto theft is affecting? >> Interview: clients aren't happy when they see their renewals because their premiums have increased. Sometimes as much as double digits. And one of the leading factors is auto theft. And they can protect themselves against or decrease their premium by installing an approved anti-theft device, a that will save them a surcharge that was put on their policy if they didn't have that. Also, the uncertainty of their vehicle disappearing overnight is very frustrating to clients. Many of them will ask what vehicle is not on the list? What vehicle can I buy that wouldn't subject me to this much risk? You don't want to say a 10 or 12-year-old vehicle is not on the sexy list of the top ten. >> Robyn: are they angry? Like, are they taking it out on you and your staff? >> Interview: sometimes we hear it. We have to convey both sides of the storey. The insurance company and the insurance. So we are a sounding board and we can convey that information onto the insurance company. Their hands are tied because there's the experience is transposed into the rates going forward year over year. So you're always a year behind in rates. >> Robyn: what do you think about the government's plan to tackle auto theft? You know, stiffer penalties on thieves, sort of cracking down on the shipping of these stolen vehicles. What's your reaction to some of the measures announced? >> Interview: I wasn't at the summit in february, but I spoke to one of the persons who was on the floor at the summit, an insurance claims manager, and he was very optimistic. When I read what came out yesterday, I was very optimistic and very promising, when all stakeholders aring together. It's great to see that the police force -- are working together. It's great to see that the police force, auto companies and insurance companies all the way across the board are going to structure a plan to work together on this, so that's amazing. >> Robyn: do you think it's going to be effective? >> Interview: yes, I do. >> Robyn: there's not not much in the plan that talks about what manufacturers can do to get in on this protection. That something you brought up the last time we spoke, as well. What are your thoughts today? >> Interview: still, we have all this technology that our phone should be able to -- a vehicle has been stolen, safely. >> Robyn: so you think more should be done in that department? >> Interview: I believe there's an open window for other things to happen, that it can be easier for us to safeguard our automobiles. >> Robyn: and can we talk a little bit about when the rates might start coming down? If these measures are effect fewer vehicles are being stolen, when can we see a difference on our renewals? >> Interview: insurance rates are based on annual reports of claims and it goes year over year. So your insurance premium this year based on last year's results. If that makes sense. So if the claim experience goes down this year, then next year at this time you should see a change in premiums. Also, shop around because every company has a different experience with theft. And every company has a different look on how to protect yourself. So choosing a broker with multiple companies, you're going to have access to companies that may be more cost effective for a certain type of vehicle. So instead of going with the one company all the way along. Have a broader range of options. >> Robyn: ok.
