Full text
516. A user or any person of whom payment of a financial contribution may be required must not, in the two years preceding the moment when the user was provided with lodging or taken in charge, have renounced his rights, or alienated property or liquid assets without due consideration, or have squandered such property or assets with the intention of making himself eligible for an exemption from payment or in such a way that he would be required to pay a lower contribution than what he would otherwise have been required to pay.
Where provisions of the first paragraph are violated, the Minister or the institution referred to in section 514 may institute proceedings for the recovery of the value of the rights, property or liquid assets by which a third person has benefited as a result of the renunciation, alienation or squandering, after subtracting the just consideration paid by the third person, and he or it may also take any other measure provided for by regulation.
1991, c. 42, s. 516; 2005, c. 32, s. 185.
