Quebec is considering extending the winter tire law.
Transport Minister Julie Boulet says she is willing to look at setting the start date for winter tires to November 15 from December 15. Winter tires have to be left on a vehicle until March 15.
CAA Quebec is suggesting waiting on data about the effectiveness about the law as it stands currently before implementing changes.
Winter tire law
The winter tire amendment to Quebec's highway safety code was passed in September, 2008.
It aims to reduce road accidents in the winter. On the Transport Quebec website, it says data collected in 2005 shows 38 per cent of winter time accidents involve at least one vehicle with all-season tires.
The law applies to vehicles that are registered and rented in Quebec.
