## Resource

Laura Miller, head of public policy and communications at Uber Canada, discusses the fragmented landscape of ride-sharing regulation across Canada, where neighboring municipalities can have completely different rules, and why that matters for both drivers trying to earn income on a flexible basis and residents trying to get to medical appointments or simply travel home safely. Laura walks us through the emerging provincial frameworks in Quebec, British Columbia, and Newfoundland that are expanding access to underserved communities, and explains why standardization doesn't have to mean centralization.
