3.1. A leasing contract must indicate

(1)  the names of the parties and their identification number in the register of owners and operators of heavy vehicles of the Commission des transports du Québec;

(2)  the leasing period;

(3)  the bus category referred to in section 2 of the Bus Transport Regulation (chapter T-12, r. 16);

(4)  the designation of the licence place of the bus or the unit number entered on the bus’ registration certificate.

The leasing contract must mention that the lessee is responsible for controlling the operation of the leased bus and is fully liable for its operation with respect to the provisions of the Act respecting owners, operators and drivers of heavy vehicles (chapter P-30.3) and the Highway Safety Code (chapter C-24.2). A copy of the contract must be kept in the bus.

In the case of a leasing contract between carriers for leasing services referred to in paragraph 1 of section 2 and for which the services of a driver are provided, the contract must instead mention that the lessor is responsible for controlling the driving of the bus leased and is fully liable for the operation of the vehicle with respect to the provisions of the Act respecting owners, operators and drivers of heavy vehicles and the Highway Safety Code.
