The NDP moved testing back to a government system because the private system had a lot of issues. So they did care. As soon as the UCP got in the reversed it using the pause in driver testing during the pandemic to justify it, blaming the NDP for long wait times. It was a convenient gambit.
In 2022 the UCP decided road tests were no longer necessary for class 4 licensing, which you require to be an Uber driver. Without a road test there is no way to assess the actual skills of the driver. There is a direct line between UCP policies and the crap we have on the road now.
Sure, some issues won't be fixed by wither party, but I think this is pretty clear the UCP's ideological position to privatize and reduce costs has left us with more ####ty drivers on the road.
