The Pesticides Act (c. P-9.3), passed by the Québec National Assembly in 1987, and the Regulation respecting permits and certificates for the sale and use of pesticides, passed in 1993 and amended in 2003, provide for mechanisms requiring that most users and sellers of pesticides comply with a system of permits and certificates.
