The B.C Green Party has introduced legislation to “start a conversation” about bringing ride-hailing companies like Uber to British Columbia.
The bill, introduced by Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver, would require ride-hailing drivers to get a background check and vehicle inspection before operating on B.C. roads.
“I have put very specific language in there based on best practices from across various jurisdictions,” said Weaver. “In B.C., it seems we are very good at finding ways we can’t be innovate rather than find ways we can be innovative.”
