Bill 899: An Act to amend the Highway Safety Code to require the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec to enter into agreements with government departments or bodies for the application of certain Acts

This bill most directly affects businesses in Quebec that operate commercial vehicles or employ drivers — think trucking companies, construction firms, couriers, and transportation operators of all sizes. By mandating the SAAQ to coordinate with agencies enforcing tax compliance, labour standards, immigration rules, and workplace safety, the bill creates a more integrated enforcement environment where information can flow between regulators. A small trucking outfit or a mid-sized employer using commercial vehicles could find that a compliance issue flagged by one agency more easily reaches another. Businesses that rely on foreign workers in transport-related roles may also face heightened scrutiny as immigration enforcement is brought into the SAAQ's coordination network.
