The cumulative table of amendments, listing all amendments made since 1977 to the laws of Québec included in the Compilation of Québec Laws and Regulations and other public Acts, including amendments made by the Acts passed in 2014, is now available on the CD-ROM provided with this volume and is also posted on the website of Les Publications du Québec at the following address: http://www2.publicationsduquebec.gouv. qc.ca/lois_et_reglements/tab_modifs/AaZ.pdf. A table of concordance lists the chapter number in the Compilation of Québec Laws and Regulations assigned to certain Acts passed between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2014.
