42. Any person who, without being entitled to it, has received financial assistance in the form of a bursary, must reimburse the amount to which he was not entitled to the Minister without delay, unless an agreement as to terms and conditions of reimbursement has been reached with the Minister or unless the Minister has informed the person of the Minister’s intention to offset the amount against the amount of a bursary or to require the financial institution to withhold the amount, in the Minister’s favour, upon payment of an authorized loan. Interest shall be payable on the amount at the rate fixed by regulation from the time the amount becomes payable.
However, any person who, without being entitled to it, has received financial assistance in the form of a bursary as a result of an administrative error of which he could not reasonably have been aware, is not required to reimburse the amount to which he was not entitled.
Sections 30 and 31 apply with respect to an amount owed under this section.
