Dangerous goods transport
An agreement respecting administration of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992 was signed by representatives of Transport Canada and the Province of Quebec in 2007.
The provisions in the Transportation of Dangerous Substances Regulation are now harmonized pursuant to Québec's powers and jurisdiction in respect of road transportation with provisions in the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations adopted by the federal Department of Transport. The elaboration of the Regulation stems from close collaboration between the provincial and federal governments and representatives of the industry concerned.
The Regulation governs the handling and transportation of dangerous substances on Québec roads from the place of manufacture or distribution to the place of delivery or unloading. In some instances, it provides for exemptions depending on the type or quantity of dangerous substances in question.
Moreover, the transportation of dangerous goods is subject to the regulations of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and U.S. 49 CFR. In the case of intermodal or cross-border transport, the carrier must ascertain whether the dangerous goods are subject to the regulations and, if need be, to what extent.
