Quebec Taxi Lobby Furious With Uber Deal; Considering Legal Action, Protests

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 08 Sep, 2016 12:20 PM
    MONTREAL — Quebec's taxi lobby is furious at the news of a deal between the provincial government and Uber.
     
    Lobby spokesman Guy Chevrette said today his association is considering legal action and the possibility of more streets protests.
     
    Quebec reached an agreement with the ride-hailing company late Wednesday night allowing Uber drivers to continue operating in the province during a one-year-pilot project.
     
    Transport Minister Laurent Lessard didn't get into details of the deal when questioned about it earlier today.
     
    Chevrette says the government has humiliated the taxi industry by negotiating with a company he says engages in civil disobedience and operates outside the law.
     
    He says Premier Philippe Couillard should be embarrassed.
