Alberta government to end privatized road testing program
MEDICINE HAT, AB — 25 years after road testing for drivers was privatized in Alberta, the provincial government will be once again administering the tests.
In a news conference on Tuesday, Transportation Minister Brian Mason and Service Alberta Minister Brian Malkinson announced that starting on March 1, 2019, all driver’s tests in Alberta will be administered by provincial employees, rather than private companies.
“With these changes, we’re treating the job of driver examiner like the professional career that it should be,” said Mason.
