77. Before refusing to issue or to renew a recognition or suspending or revoking a recognition, the coordinating office must notify in writing the reasons supporting its intention to the person applying for recognition or who is recognized as a home educational childcare provider and give the person at least 15 days to submit observations and to produce documents to complete their record. The coordinating office then notifies its decision in writing, with reasons, to the person applying for recognition or who is recognized as a home educational childcare provider.
The coordinating office may, however, if the decision is made in urgent circumstances or to prevent serious or irreparable injury or damage to persons, including in the cases referred to in section 77.1, suspend a recognition without having to comply with the prior obligations set out in the first paragraph. In such situations, the coordinating office notifies the parents of children receiving educational childcare that the recognition has been suspended. The person who is recognized as a home educational childcare provider may, within 15 days of the suspension, submit observations and produce documents to complete their record in order to allow the coordinating office to review its decision.
The coordinating office gives reasons for its decision or its review decision and notifies it in writing to the home educational childcare provider. The decision or the review decision must make mention of the right to contest it before the Administrative Tribunal of Québec and indicate the time limit for doing so provided for in section 104 of the Act.
