Quebec Transport Ministry + MV owners

And of course any correspondence with Quebec authorities, written, email or otherwise must be in French....

Who Does Not Require a Permit for an Armoured Vehicle?

Under the Armoured Vehicle and After-Market Compartment Control Regulation, you can operate an armoured vehicle without a permit while performing your job if you are a:

Police officer
Armoured car guard
Government employee operating an armoured vehicle as part of your job
Diplomat
Licensed vehicle salesperson or registered motor dealer
Certified mechanic with a repairer’s license
You also do not need a permit to operate an antique-plated armoured vehicle or a military vehicle covered by the Defense Production Act.

Hi,

In France, the HMVs owners lived the same problem between 2002 and 2006 with the Sarkozy Law. Here is a short article about this law that was challenged with success by the authorities of the French Federation of vintage vehicles (FFVE) and the MVCG France.

Again me,

In this article published yesterday in the Journal de Montreal, Minister Bonardel states that it was the manufacturers of these vehicles who warned the government. "It was the suppliers themselves who wrote to us to tell us how dangerous it could be if there was an accident" he insisted.

If that is true, then we can assume that the government authorities of the other provinces of the country were also notified by these manufacturers/suppliers. For colleagues from other provinces, do you think that your government authorities have also received such letters?

Is it too cynical to suspect the corporations are mainly concerned with the danger to their financial well-being rather than any possible danger to the operators of the vehicles or members of the public?

Good question Grant. In the same way, I raised a question last week about the new Mihandra jeeps that some sellers in Quebec have been selling since recently. Inspired by the old CJ5 jeeps, with performance very similar to our WWII jeeps, these vehicles can only be registered for off-road. Is there any reason to believe that these new vehicles could influence the SAAQ authorities on this issue to want to impose a C-plate on historic military vehicles?

Does Quebec have an access to information law? Could one not request copies of any relevant information, including the letters, that gave cause to enact these policies?
