Rank-and-file B.C. Liberals are urging the provincial government to hurry up with giving a green-light to ride-sharing, a call that comes as British Columbia is considering its options on the issue.
Delegates at the governing party’s ongoing convention – the last before the May, 2017 provincial election – voted 81 per cent on Saturday in favour of a resolution urging the government to adopt legislation “at the nearest opportunity” allowing ride-sharing.
The resolution, credited to nine riding associations in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island, called for insurance to protect passengers, including an “effective and efficient” driver-screening process and the recognition that ride-sharing requires distinct rules reflecting differences from other transportation models.
