Every person who has held a taxi driver’s permit after 9 October 2017 is deemed to hold the document provided for in section 10 certifying that the person has completed the basic training and passed the examination. The same applies to
(
1
)
every partner-driver registered on 9 October 2020 with the holder of a taxi transportation service intermediary’s permit who was authorized to offer remunerated passenger transportation by automobile as part of the Pilot project concerning remunerated passenger transportation services requested exclusively using a mobile application (
chapter S-6.01, r. 2.3
);
(
2
)
the person who, on 9 October 2020, held a certificate of competence issued under the Pilot project concerning permits and training of certain drivers providing remunerated passenger transportation on the island of Montréal (
chapter S-6.01, r. 2.01
).
The second and third paragraphs of section 11 apply to every person referred to in the first paragraph, with the necessary modifications. Despite the foregoing, the document that establishes that a person has been the holder of a taxi driver’s permit or a certificate of competence or was a partner-driver takes the place of the documents to be filed with an authorization application made to the Société d’assurance automobile du Québec under paragraph 1 of section 13 of the Act.
The first paragraph does not apply to the first application for authorization or registration if it is made after 9 October 2023.

In addition, despite section 5, the advanced training on the transportation of persons with disabilities that the person referred to in the first paragraph must complete to offer remunerated passenger transportation by adapted automobile is for a period of 7 hours to the extent that that person complies with either of the following conditions as of 9 October 2020:

(

the person holds a taxi owner’s permit attached to a vehicle mentioned in subparagraph 1 and certifies being one of the drivers.
The first paragraph of section 7 applies to an examination on the training provided for in the second paragraph of this section. A person who fails the examination may not benefit again from the relief provided for in that paragraph.
