465.15. No member may withdraw from the corporation before the expiry of three years after the date on which it became a member.
After the three-year period, the withdrawal of a member is subject to the authorization of the Inspector General.
The Inspector General shall grant his authorization(1) if he considers that the corporation remains financially viable despite the withdrawal;
(2) if the corporation agrees to comply with the conditions he considers necessary for the corporation to remain financially viable despite the withdrawal.
If the corporation cannot, in the opinion of the Inspector General, remain financially viable despite the withdrawal or if the corporation refuses to comply with the conditions considered necessary by the Inspector General, the latter shall order the winding-up of the corporation and appoint a liquidator.
The Inspector General shall, before ordering the winding-up of the corporation, give it an opportunity to present observations in writing within 30 days after the sending of a notice in which he informs the corporation of his intention to order its winding-up.
The order has the same effect as an order rendered by a judge of the Superior Court under section 25 of the Winding-up Act (chapter L-4).
Where the Inspector General orders the winding-up of the corporation, he shall deposit a notice to that effect in the register.
The provisions of Chapter XI of Title IV of the Act respecting insurance (chapter A-32) also apply, adapted as required, to the winding-up so ordered to the extent that they are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Act respecting insurance.
This section also applies in cases of expulsion of a member of the corporation.
