Ride-Sharing Legalization

Q133: By the end of 2016, will either the City of Ottawa or the province of Ontario pass a law legalizing ride-sharing services?
Yes: 25%
(Requirements that ride-sharing services must meet are acceptable, as long as they are not too onerous)

The entry of UberX into the Ottawa market has led to some discussion about Ottawa's current taxi laws, and various related provincial legislation (see article here and my related post here).  The City of Ottawa is currently in the early stages of a review of Ottawa's taxi laws.  I think that the status quo will continue, at least until the end of 2016.  Regulatory changes of this type often take a long time.
