If the bodies fail to agree, within the time limit set in section 87, on all the elements for system harmonization, they must, within 14 days following the end of that time limit, submit the elements on which they disagree to a mediator who is accredited by a body recognized by the Minister of Justice and whose head office is situated in Québec.
The Minister and the Société must be notified in writing by the bodies, within the same time limit, of the elements of the dispute referred to in the first paragraph and of the choice of a mediator.
The Minister and the Société must be notified in writing by the mediator, within 14 days following the end of the mediation process, of its total or partial success, its failure or the fact that the producer and the retailer discontinued their application. Within the same time limit, the bodies record in writing the elements on which they agree and send a copy of the agreement to the Minister and the Société. If an agreement has been entered into before the mediation process, the agreement entered into after the process forms an integral part of the agreement.
