The Minister of Transport of Quebec, Mr. Robert Poëti, explained that, as part of the pilot project on the use of stud on tires and track vehicles off-road, it was never his intention to ban stud for snowmobiles, while reiterating that security on roads or off-road is a priority for him at all times. "During the drafting of the ministerial order, a generalization of measures to all off-road vehicules could suggest that we will restrict the use of stud for snowmobiles, which is absolutely not the case. To avoid confusion in its application, the wording of the order will be clarified as soon as possible, "said Minister poeti. For its part, the Federation of Quebec snowmobile clubs expressed reassured by the minister.

"This is great news for the snowmobile industry. I invite all snowmobilers to enjoy their sport while discovering the wealth winter and hospitality found in all regions of Quebec, "was keen to stress the Tourism Minister Dominique Vien.
