I've never been to Quebec, so i can't really argue with you about this, but my director told me about it not too long ago, she is from Quebec and she lives there and modified hers.
Your director is wrong coz I live in Quebec too and I am in Quebec right now lol.
The funniest thing about the Quebec plate is the combination of the plate number and the "Je me souviens" . ("I remember" for the non-french speakers).
