Transportation of dangerous goods - Quebec

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.
