32. For the purposes of this Act, the chief executive officer of a public body, other than a municipal body, is the person responsible for the day-to-day management of the body, such as the deputy minister, the president or the director general.
However, in the case of a general and vocational college or university-level educational institution, the chief executive officer corresponds to the board of governors and, in the case of a school board, to the council of commissioners.
A board or council referred to in the second paragraph may, by regulation, delegate all or part of the functions to be exercised by the chief executive officer to the executive committee, the director general or, in the case of a university-level educational institution, a member of the senior administrative personnel within the meaning of the Act respecting educational institutions at the university level (chapter E‑14.1).
