I don't think it's too strong to say it would be disastrous.
Again, there's more to this than just the actual mechanics of what's being proposed. When I look at budget 2025 and the elements of it, the enforcement of it is very important, but the messaging behind it is even more so. This industry has been left to be in a malaise. We're working with our provincial ministry and the regulators. They do the absolute best with what they have, but their tools are limited. If we talk about Driver Inc. being a branch on a tree, it's a rotten one and there's a whole bunch of other branches that we need to prune.
That's when I look at the provisions of the budget and why it's so important. It is the legislative amendments that allow for information sharing. It is the regulatory amendments that go through for enforcement.
More important than anything else is the message that this is important and it's going to be enforced. If we fail to do that, if we fail to send that message, I'm deeply concerned, as are our members, that not only do we continue to let this happen, it's one more message for those who lie and cheat to say, go ahead because they can't even get this piece passed.
This is just the first step in a very long road and it's a very important one. We're really hopeful as an industry that this comes to pass. It's an incredibly important piece of the puzzle, that's for sure.
