Compliance with Government of Québec accessibility standards

The Ministère du Développement durable, de l'Environnement, de la Faune et des Parcs (MDDEFP) subscribes to the objectives of the three Government of Québec Web accessibility standards for the handicapped. However, while the current version of our Web site only meets minimum Web accessibility standards, we are currently developing a redesigned, fully standards-compliant version. We are also working to implement procedures that will meet the accessibility standard for downloadable documents, which came into effect on November 9, 2012.

Until then, should you experience any difficulties in filling out a form or navigating on our Web site, please contact us at (toll-free) 1 800 561-1616. Our Call Centre staff will be pleased to be of service.
