As a follow-up to the presentation of the Legal Affairs Branch at the last Provincial Council and in response to several recent questions from carriers, the Federation wishes to make a brief reminder regarding the safety round report, particularly regarding the person designated by the operator to perform this round (we refer you to the booklet of the Federation).

Since June 1, 2004, the Act respecting labor standards ("Act") provides for the right of all employees to work in a workplace free of psychological harassment and imposes 2 obligations on employers. Indeed, they must (i) take reasonable steps to prevent any harassment (psychological and sexual) and also (ii) to stop any reported situation.

The work of the Federation towards its members takes many forms. She represents them on various committees related to the transportation of people. It works with its partners to ensure that carriers are as knowledgeable as possible about everything related to their industry.

Dans Le Relayeur du 22 janvier dernier, la Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) annonçait la venue des nouveaux modèles de véhicules de patrouille des contrôleurs routiers, passant du blanc au noir et blanc.

Major changes have been made to the bus priority lamp standard. The change of meaning concerns the fire consisting of the white vertical band. It once told bus drivers that all movements were allowed. However, since January 1, 2019, this same fire only allows the movement straight.

Significant changes have been made to the Code de la sécurité routière. These new measures, including the child booster seat, stem from Bill 165 - Loi modifiant le Code de sécurité routière et d’autres dispositions passed in April 2018.

The mandate of the Société de l'assurance automobile to issue special traffic permits for non-standard vehicles will be entrusted to the Ministère des Transports effective February 11. This legislation will come into force eleven years after being legislated.

Le 12 juin 2018, le Projet de loi no 176 intitulé « Loi modifiant la Loi sur les normes du travail et d’autres dispositions législatives afin principalement de faciliter la conciliation famille-travail » (ci-après nommée la « Loi modifiée ») a été adopté à l’Assemblée nationale.
