Today the Province of Quebec has published it’s ELD regulations, that will make ELD’s required for Provincially Regulated Carriers as of April 30^th of this year. While the PMTC is in full support of ELD’s and are in favour of full enforcement for federally regulated carriers, as plenty of notice was provided to comply, an announcement by Quebec with a timeline of slightly over 3 months to comply for Provincially regulated carriers is concerning to our Quebec members who are Provincially regulated only. Our office will be reaching out to express our concern and encourage a slightly longer runway for Industry. Please see below for the link to the full announcement.

QUEBEC CITY , Jan. 23, 2023 /CNW Telbec/ - The Deputy Premier and Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, ^Ms. Geneviève Guilbault, in collaboration with the Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ), announces that From April 30, the electronic logging device (ECD) will be mandatory. Operators of heavy vehicles will therefore have to equip their vehicles with an ELD allowing them to record their hours of work and rest.
