Humane Society International says: "Quebec is Canada’s puppy mill capital. Although they exist all over Canada, a large portion of Canada’s puppy mills can be found in Quebec due to its particularly poor legislation and enforcement of commercial dog breeding operations. And despite the recent improvements to the Quebec Animal Health Protection Act, compared to all of the other provinces and territories in Canada, Quebec still ranks in the bottom tier when it comes to animal protection laws. Although commercial breeders with more than 15 animals will now require a permit to operate, regulations still need to be enacted by the provincial government before this registration system comes into effect. Unfortunately, smaller commercial breeders of less than 15 animals will not be subject to the permit system, and there is still no limit on the number of animals or breeds that can be confined in a commercial breeding operation in Quebec. A breeder can still keep hundreds of dogs in small cages for their entire lives, with little or no daily exercise, and be legally permitted to operate."
