9. A mortgage broker will be exempted from his professional development obligations set out in section 4 if he is absent or on leave during a period of at least 4 consecutive weeks owing, in particular, to sickness or an accident or for family or parental reasons. For purposes of this section, the causes and terms of an absence or leave will be those set out in Divisions V.0.1 and V.1 of Chapter IV of the Act respecting labour standards (chapter N-1.1). A mortgage broker may obtain an exemption in accordance with the first paragraph if he submits a written application to the Authority setting out the reasons for the exemption, together with an explanatory document or medical certificate in support of the alleged situation.
Before refusing an application for an exemption, in whole or in part, the Authority must give the mortgage broker written notice of his right to submit written observations within the time limit indicated by it.
