Except in urgent circumstances, the Minister must notify the prospective adopter in writing as prescribed by section 5 of the Act respecting administrative justice (chapter J-3) before refusing to grant the authorization referred to in the first paragraph, and allow the prospective adopter at least 10 days to present observations. The Minister’s decision must be in writing and give reasons; an original must be sent to the prospective adopter.
