On 10 November 2005, the Quebec government announced the following :
Quebec Premier, Jean Charest, is proud to announce, along with
the minister of Transport and minister responsible for the Capitale-Nationale region, Michel Després, that the Quebec government will offer veterans an exclusive l icense plate, starting January 1st 2006.
«In so doing, the Quebec government wishes to recognize all those Quebec men and women who served to defend t he values that govern our every day lives», said the Premier of Quebec.
«This commemorative license plate, exclusive to veterans, will
be identical to the plate already offered to Quebecers but a red and black poppy
will be added in the center of the plate», said the minister of Transport, who
asked the Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec to take the necessary measures to offer this new plate to Quebec veterans.
This license plate will be offered to all those who meet the
eligibility requirements set out by the Royal Canadian Legion. The Premier added

Transport’s request. Branch 260 of the Royal Canadian Legion, that was in charge
of this endeavour, works in cooperation with the SAAQ and will pursue its
