8. The Conseil du trésor may, if there is an emergency that threatens human safety or property, give a public body permission to continue a public call for tenders despite the fact that the call for tenders is covered by an order of the Autorité des marchés publics under subparagraph 1 of the first paragraph of section 29 of the Act respecting the Autorité des marchés publics (chapter A-33.2.1), on completion of an investigation conducted in accordance with the first paragraph of section 5 of this Act. The Conseil du trésor may also, in such circumstances, give a public body permission to continue performing a public contract despite the fact that the contract is covered by a decision of the Authority made under subparagraph 2 of the first paragraph of section 7 of this Act.
The Conseil du trésor may subject either of such permissions to conditions.
Within 15 days after a permission is given under the first or second paragraph, the Chair of the Conseil du trésor makes public the name of the public body concerned, a summary description of the circumstances or reasons considered and the name of the enterprise concerned, if any, by posting them on the website of the secretariat of the Conseil du trésor. The Chair also publishes the information in the Gazette officielle du Québec.
