Quebec is renewing its pilot project with Uber for another year, with some modifications, Transport Minister Laurent Lessard said on Friday.

However, the ride-sharing company will have to abide by a few new rules.

Lessard said that all Uber drivers will now have to go through a police background check rather than one by a private firm used by Uber. Drivers will also now have to undergo 35 hours of training (up from 20) to match what taxi drivers in Montreal must undergo.

This is the only extension of the pilot project permitted under the current rules, Lessard said. If the government decides to let Uber stay, the National Assembly would have to adopt a new law to allow the ride-sharing company to operate in the province.

“The Ministry of Transportation informed us this morning of new and challenging regulations that favour old policies instead of incorporating the benefits of new technology,” Uber Quebec spokesperson Jean-Christophe de le Rue said. “Our team is still waiting to review the new regulations, but based on our current understanding, these changes significantly threaten Uber’s ability to continue operating in Quebec.”
