I don't know what it's like in other provinces but that's the way it is in Ontario. The police need to know everything so they can determine who is at fault, for insurance purposes but more importantly so they can determine which driver gets demerit points on their license or gets it suspended (if they were driving while intoxicated, or if they've caused several collisions, etc). If you're in a collision, whether you're at fault or not, and you don't report it and you bring your car to a body shop for repairs, they'll generally report it anyways and you can get fined for that (and maybe demerit points but I'm not sure).
