Distinct Society or Ministries Without a Backbone?

I was recently reading the July-August issue of “Transport Routier” that informs us on the new hours of service for the intra-provincial drivers in Quebec that took place on June 15th and that until November 1st, no fines will be given to erratic drivers. The delay is explained by the elections in March. Initialy the law was to be enforced April 1st. However some pressure groups made the S.A.A.Q. give until November 1st to issue the first fines

This brought to me the question on the headliner. Accordingly to the Gazette of Canada of November 16th 2005 the implementation of the new H.O.S. law has been published. Also the same Gazette shows that the modifications passed by the Parliament in 2001 takes effect on January 1st 2006. This adds up to a 22 month delay before full enforcement to delinquents that are not still aware that the law has been changed.

The majority of other provinces have given a 90 day grace period to drivers before full enforcement. Ontario has lead the way starting a smooth enforcement on January 1st 2007. We are the last ones to do so and over 135 days of clemency is allowed without counting almost 6 months of delay where the law was implanted elsewhere in the country.

Make your own idea but, mine is made and we are not a so distinct society
