It will be mandatory for people 13 and older who want to access services and activities deemed non-essential by the provincial government, including bars, restaurants, gyms, festivals and sporting events.

Though it will come into effect Sept. 1, no penalties will be issued for the first two weeks. Quebecers will be able to use a smartphone app to prove their vaccination status or simply carry their QR code on paper.

There are two apps: VaxiCode, for the general public, and VaxiCode Verif, for people who will have to check vaccination status.

The apps are now available via Apple’s App Store for iOS devices: iPhones, iPads and iPods. The versions for Android devices are expected to be available via Google Play within a few days.

Once you have downloaded the app, you must add to it the QR code that proves you have been vaccinated. That QR code can be downloaded via the government’s self-service portal. Quebec has posted a description of how its QR codes work.

You can either use the app to scan the QR code, or save the QR code to your Photos and tell the app to add it from there.

After you have scanned the QR code, the app will show whether you are “adequately protected” (a green message) or “not adequately protected” (a red message).

The provincial government has posted detailed information about the vaccine passport that will come into effect in seven days, but as of 11:30 a.m. most of it is only available in French.

The main vaccine passport page says “some … content may be only available in French while the translation is in progress.”

Missing are details on how the VaxiCode and VaxiCode Verif apps work, and where they will be required.

The English version is here, while the French one is here.

TORONTO – Cineplex Inc. reported a loss in its latest quarter compared with a profit a year ago as it was hit by a fine for deceptive marketing practices imposed by the Competition Tribunal.

The movie theatre company says it lost $24.7 million or 39 cents per diluted share for the quarter ended Sept. 30 compared with a profit of $29.7 million or 40 cents per diluted share a year earlier.

The results in the most recent quarter included a $39.2-million provision related to the Competition Tribunal decision, which Cineplex is appealing.

The Competition Bureau accused the company of misleading theatregoers by not immediately presenting them with the full price of a movie ticket when they purchased seats online, a view the company has rejected.

Revenue for the quarter totalled $395.6 million, down from $414.5 million in the same quarter last year, while theatre attendance totalled 13.3 million for the quarter compared with nearly 15.7 million a year earlier.

Box office revenue per patron in the quarter climbed to $13.19 compared with $12 in the same quarter last year, while concession revenue per patron amounted to $9.85, up from $8.44 a year ago.

ST. JOHN’S, N.L. – Fortis Inc. reported a third-quarter profit of $420 million, up from $394 million in the same quarter last year.

The electric and gas utility says the profit amounted to 85 cents per share for the quarter ended Sept. 30, up from 81 cents per share a year earlier.

Fortis says the increase was driven by rate base growth across its utilities, and strong earnings in Arizona largely reflecting new customer rates at Tucson Electric Power.

Revenue in the quarter totalled $2.77 billion, up from $2.72 billion in the same quarter last year.

On an adjusted basis, Fortis says it earned 85 cents per share in its latest quarter, up from an adjusted profit of 84 cents per share in the third quarter of 2023.

The average analyst estimate had been for a profit of 82 cents per share, according to LSEG Data & Analytics.
