Good on Quebec. I hope more provinces crack down on short term rentals.

The Quebec government has presented legislation that, if passed, will force Airbnb and other short-term rental platforms to crack down on illegal listings or face hefty fines.
Bill 25, An Act to fight illegal tourist accommodation, was tabled Tuesday at the National Assembly by Tourism Minister Caroline Proulx.
It looks to regulate short-term rentals and require digital platforms to ensure that the accommodations listed on their websites comply with Quebec and municipal laws.
It comes in the wake of a deadly March fire in an Old Montreal heritage building that killed seven people — including six staying in Airbnbs. After the fire, Proulx vowed to table a bill before the end of May.
