There was no public consultation on this process, which was signed off by the Minister in charge of SAAQ.
They were contacted by my good friend Bernard, and the Bombardier Museum, as the archive for all the Canadian Bombardier Records, indicated they had not been contacted by SAAQ.
I have been trying to figure out what the end game is, of the SAAQ and the minister. I will hold onto my thoughts until I have more data.

You could apply to the Minister, François Bonnardel, and to the SAAQ with an
Act respecting access request for copies of any correspondence with the manufacturers that relates to their suitability for on-road use, if it exists.

But to be fair, reading the list of vehicles affected, this is not solely aimed at Military Vehicles:
https://saaq.gouv.qc.ca/en/vehicle-r...cted-area-use/ It also applies to ANY vehicle manufactured more than 25 years ago! Cars, buses, trucks, the lot, with the exception of motorcycles. I wonder if letters have gone out to owners of those vehicles too?
