Manitoba moves to deregulate taxi industry with Bill 30
The province introduces Bill 30 on March 20 to dissolve the Manitoba Taxicab Board and shift vehicle for hire regulation to municipalities. Ride sharing like Uber faces licensing and commercial insurance rules, with opposition from Winnipeg taxi owners. The bill promises no compensation for negatively affected drivers as the market may welcome new entrants and rides.
