Quebec Transport Ministry + MV owners

Sounds like maybe someone should inquire with Haggarty or maybe try to get them on side with this issue in Quebec
And BTW, the QC government argument against gangs and armoured vehicle is as stupid as the Fed stance on firearms.
I somehow doubt very much that criminals would give a crap about licensing requirement if they were in a position to use one.

Is there any way to challenge the changes made by SAAQ? perhaps a class action lawsuit?
I imagine the new changes will hurt the value of the effected vehicles.

It will probably take a provincial election to clear all this mess up. This is the same government that brought in a provincial firearm registry last winter, is it not? They are giving other parties a winning platform to take up in the next election.

One group has arranged a face to face meeting with the Minister responsible for the SAAQ, which should happen this week. They will be presenting documents to support their individual vehicles and that proper due process was not done by SAAQ.

can you post a link to the Facebook group please.

They are using it to fund source for the legal challenge.

Would be great to see this Facebook Page in bilingual text.

That is excellent proof of purpose of use.
Does that mean that we have to come up with every military vehicle contract to support our argument against any new restrictions in place now, and for any that may come up in the future?
I'm not sure how freedom of information works but maybe it's worth a try..?

Great write up. Thanks for your insight. What a mess. To make it even worse, some certain individuals are given the power (in situations like my own) to go against the individual provincial laws based on their personal dislike of the appearance of a vehicle and we dont have any real way to appeal their opinion on the subject..

Unfortunately Patrick, we live now in a country full of little pink rabbits... Here is an Internet link that will give you access to see how we were welcomed during the historic and military parade that took place on July 3, 2008 for the 400th anniversary of Quebec City. If the anti-riot forces had not been there, we would have had a real bad time.
