187.10.6. As long as an agreement under section 187.10.5 is in force, members of the Ordre professionnel des comptables généraux accrédités du Québec or the Ordre professionnel des comptables en management accrédités du Québec are authorized, despite being bound by professional secrecy, to provide, to the extent specified in the agreement entered into by their professional order, information relating to their professional activities or clients to a representative of the body acting within the scope of its activities in Québec.
The information communicated under the agreement by a member of the Ordre professionnel des comptables généraux accrédités du Québec or the Ordre professionnel des comptables en management accrédités du Québec must be treated by the body receiving it with as much confidentiality as if it had been obtained or was held by the professional order in the exercise of the powers granted by this Code. That obligation does not, however, restrict the powers granted by an Act of Québec to the Autorité des marchés financiers as regards the communication of information.
