149.1. A syndic may, by way of a complaint, seize the disciplinary council(1) of any decision of a Canadian court finding a professional guilty of a criminal offence,
(2) of any decision made in Québec finding a professional guilty of an offence under section 188 or of an offence under a provision of a Québec or a federal Act, or
(3) of any decision made outside Québec finding a professional guilty of an offence which, if committed in Québec, could have resulted in penal proceedings under section 188 or penal proceedings under a provision of a Québec or a federal Act.
The decision referred to in the first paragraph must, in the opinion of the syndic, be related to the practice of the profession.
A certified copy of the judicial decision is proof before the disciplinary council that the offence was committed and that any facts reported in the decision are true. The disciplinary council then imposes on the professional, where expedient, one or more of the sanctions prescribed by section 156.
