  • to limit the circumstances in which a permit authority under the Road Transportation Act, 1977 (or, where applicable, any provincial law by which that Act is superseded), may refuse a road carrier permit to an applicant to whom a contract for the provision of a public transport service has been awarded by a provincial tender board after a public tendering process;
