8. The person exercising the highest authority within a public body shall see to ensuring that this Act is implemented and complied with within the body. That person shall exercise the function of person in charge of access to documents and the function of person in charge of the protection of personal information.
All or part of those functions may be delegated in writing to a member of the public body or of its board of directors, as the case may be, or to a member of the management personnel. That person must be able to exercise them autonomously.

The public body must, as soon as possible, notify the Commission in writing of the title, contact information and starting date of the person who exercises the function of person in charge of access to documents and those of the person who exercises the function of person in charge of the protection of personal information.
