The lawsuit also alleges that the province's actions — including the creation of a pilot project in 2016 that legalized Uber's operations in Quebec — contributed to the further decline in the value of taxi owners' permits before they were eliminated as part of a 2019 taxi industry reform.
Then in 2019, years after Uber started operating in Quebec, the government adopted a law abolishing the permit system and loosened other regulations. And while the government compensated permit holders, their lawyers allege many of them received around $150,000 less than the market value of the permits before Uber's arrival in the province.
