51. It is forbidden to take a reprisal in any manner whatever against a person or partnership that files a complaint with the Authority or again to threaten to take a reprisal against a person or partnership so that he, she or it will abstain from filing a complaint with the Authority.
A person or partnership who believes himself, herself or itself to be a victim of a reprisal may file a complaint with the Authority so that the Authority may determine if the complaint is substantiated and make any recommendations it considers appropriate to the chief executive officer of the public body concerned by the reprisal. Section 46 applies to the follow-up of the complaint, with the necessary modifications.
When the examination is concluded, the Authority informs the complainant of its findings and, if applicable, its recommendations.
