35.1. The agrologist may, in addition to the cases provided for in section 35, communicate information that is protected by professional secrecy, in order to prevent an act of violence, including a suicide, where the agrologist has reasonable cause to believe that there is an imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury to a person or an identifiable group of persons. However, the agrologist may only communicate the information to a person exposed to the danger or that person’s representative, and to persons that can come to that person’s aid. The agrologist may only communicate such information as is necessary to achieve the purposes for which the information is communicated.
