Thank you.
We reviewed the requirements under the Régie du bâtiment du Québec regarding environmental safety. This is a lengthy document that contains several requirements, including one on calibration. We also looked into organizations that are certified by the Province of Quebec in this area. The purpose of calibration is to detect any possible leaks in storage tanks. There are no standard procedures for calibration of equipment and testing methods. There's nothing that guarantees accuracy in the way the Weights and Measures Act does.
We reviewed this and we discussed it with individuals from two organizations that are certified by the Government of Quebec. We concluded that there would be no overlap. In fact, the requirements of Quebec's Régie du bâtiment apply to something other than the distributor's measurement. There are no follow-ups or requirements in this area and therefore there will be no overlap. Service providers authorized under the Weights and Measures Act would be able to do their work in Quebec easily, and this would even help them.
