Sounds like they also want to waive the class 4 requirement. Does the insurance industry have a product ready and is waiting for provincial approval?
And no, I'm not really confused. Just because Edmonton made a bylaw and said they will activate it March 1, it doesn't mean the province is forced to do anything about insurance and licensing. Uber sees it as the last obstacle to them operating under different rules than other companies providing ride services. Nothing at all is stopping an Uber driver, March 1, from getting commercial insurance and a class 4 license(like all other companies are required to do) and working 100% legally in Edmonton. Uber just wants special rules to undercut competition. That's all this is about at this point.
