In a letter sent to Quebec Minister of Tourism Caroline Proulx and shared with Narity Québec, Airbnb Regional Lead for Canada Nathan Rotman said the company would remove listings that don't include a permit number from the Corporation de l'industrie touristique du Québec (CITQ). It will also require a permit number in all new listings.
