E-6.1 - Act respecting the regulation of the financial sector

Full text
17.0.1. Any person who wishes to make a disclosure may do so by communicating any information to the Authority that the person believes could show that a contravention of an Act referred to in section 7 has been committed or is about to be committed, or that could show that the person has been asked to commit such a contravention.
A person who discloses such a contravention may do so despite the Act respecting Access to documents held by public bodies and the Protection of personal information (chapter A-2.1), the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (chapter P-39.1), any other communication restrictions under other laws of Québec, any provision of a contract or any duty of loyalty or confidentiality that may be binding on the person, in particular with respect to an employer or client.
However, the lifting of professional secrecy authorized under this section does not apply to professional secrecy between a lawyer or a notary and a client.
