Full text
22. The Commission may, if of the opinion that the information in its possession is likely to show that a member of the council of a municipality has violated a rule of the code of ethics and conduct applicable to the member, conduct an inquiry to determine whether such a violation has been committed or, without it being possible at that stage to conduct an inquiry, bring an action for declaration of disqualification against a member of the council of a municipality, in accordance with Division II of Chapter IX of Title I of the Act respecting elections and referendums in municipalities (chapter E-2.2).
The inquiry must be opened within three years after the end of the member’s term.
The Commission must inform the council member that he or she is under inquiry.
However, the Commission is foreclosed from conducting an inquiry into a violation that has been the subject of an action for declaration of disqualification brought under the first paragraph.
