Alberta says it will no longer require the advanced road test for Class 5 (passenger vehicles) and Class 6 (motorcycle) driver's licences, saving those drivers $150.

That's what drivers need, LESS testing.. .sigh.

An additional road test will also no longer be mandatory to obtain a Class 4 driver's licence, which is required to transport passengers in taxis, ride-share vehicles, limousines, small buses and ambulances.

Right then, we all know taxi drivers are some of the worst on the road, best not to make them do anything to improve that...I've got a class 4, and there is no way current drivers are performing anywhere near the standards that road test required of me.

"It is common sense. It reduces costs for drivers and also, in a way, for businesses, without compromising safety in any way," Panda said.

Sure thing, Panda, if you say so. I presume you have the Fraser Institute studies to back that up?
This is all the opposite of what we should be doing, but I guess it's easier to remove "left on green" signals and stuff traffic lights on overpasses than expect people to know how to operate a murder machine safely.
