Whereas under section 2.48.1 of Regulation 2 (1976) respecting the rules of practice and rules for the internal management of the Commission, the said permits are renewed automatically upon payment of the prescribed duties unless decided otherwise by the Québec Transport Commission; Whereas the duties for renewal of such permits are collected by the Motor Vehicle Bureau at the time of registration; Whereas the aforementioned Regulation sets a date for the expiry of bulk trucking permits contemplated in the Regulation respecting bulk trucking in certain territorial divisions; Whereas under Regulation 2C, the Lieutenant-Governor in Council adopted a measure whereby the said permits would expire on the same date as the registration of the vehicles to which they pertain; Whereas to ensure conformity with such measure, it is expedient to delete a provision of the Regulation respecting bulk trucking in certain territorial divisions which states that bulk trucking permits expire on the last day of March;
