21.48.3. If, once the examination of an enterprise’s integrity is completed, the Authority is of the opinion that the enterprise does not meet the standards of integrity, it must, before rendering a decision, notify the enterprise in writing as prescribed by section 5 of the Act respecting administrative justice (chapter J-3) and allow the enterprise at least 10 days to submit written observations and provide additional documents to complete the file.

On the expiry of the time limit specified in the first paragraph and after examining the observations, if any, submitted by the enterprise, the Authority informs the enterprise of its decision.

Despite the first paragraph, the Authority may make a decision without complying with the prior obligations set out in that paragraph if urgent action is required or to prevent irreparable harm. In such a case, the enterprise concerned may, within the time specified in the decision, submit written observations and provide additional documents to complete the file for the purposes of a review of the decision by the Authority.
