21.2.1. Despite section 21.1 and the first paragraph of section 21.2, the Government may, in the cases, on the conditions and in the manner determined by regulation, prescribe that a contractor or an associate of a contractor must be convicted, by final judgments, of a minimum number of offences referred to in section 21.1. In such cases, the contractor becomes ineligible for public contracts once all the relevant convictions have been recorded in the register.

For the purposes of this section, if the offence is an offence under the regulatory provisions determined by regulation whose administration and enforcement is the responsibility of the Minister of Revenue under section 24.2, section 573.3.1.1 of the Cities and Towns Act (chapter C-19), article 938.1.1 of the Municipal Code of Québec (chapter C-27.1), section 113.1 of the Act respecting the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal (chapter C-37.01), section 106.1 of the Act respecting the Communauté métropolitaine de Québec (chapter C-37.02) or section 103.1 of the Act respecting public transit authorities (chapter S-30.01), the Minister of Revenue may, on a request made by the contractor within 30 days after the date on which the judgment becomes final, disregard a conviction in computing the minimum number of convictions if it is warranted in the public interest or there are extenuating circumstances.

For the purposes of the second paragraph, if the conviction involves an associate of the contractor, the Minister of Revenue must so inform the contractor.
