12. Despite section 11, the holder may hire a driver who does not hold a certificate of competence or refer the driver to a holder of a taxi owner’s permit if the driver holds a Class 4C driver’s licence and a training certificate confirming the evaluation referred to in section 6 has been successfully completed.
Where no verification of criminal record has been carried out, the holder must, before entering into a contract under the first paragraph, have the driver sign a statement of no criminal record, obtain proof that the background check request was made with a Québec police force, and verify the driver’s file through a search of judicial records.
Every contract entered into pursuant to the first paragraph terminates 8 weeks after the date it is entered into unless the driver provides the holder with a certificate of competence.
