21.37. Before refusing to grant or renew an authorization, the Authority must notify the enterprise concerned in writing as prescribed by section 5 of the Act respecting administrative justice (chapter J-3) and allow the enterprise at least 10 days to submit written observations and provide additional documents to complete the file. The Authority may make a decision without complying with those prior obligations if urgent action is required or to prevent irreparable harm. In such a case, the enterprise concerned may, within the time limit specified in the decision, submit written observations and provide additional documents to complete the file for the purposes of a review of the decision by the Authority.
On the expiry of the time limit specified in the first paragraph and after examining the observations, if any, submitted by the enterprise, the Authority informs the enterprise of its decision.
The enterprise concerned by a decision of the Authority refusing the granting or renewal of an authorization becomes ineligible for public contracts in accordance with Division II.
