C-65.1 - Act respecting contracting by public bodies
Section 21.48.9.1
Disposition versions
21.48.9.1. For the purposes of an audit relating to the integrity of an enterprise subject to the oversight of the Authority, the Authority may require any person who has previously been a director, partner, officer or shareholder of the enterprise or any other person or entity bound or previously bound, directly or indirectly, by contract to the enterprise to send the Authority, within the time specified, any relevant document or information for the purpose of verifying whether the enterprise meets the standards of integrity.
This section applies despite any communication restrictions provided for under a law and any duty of confidentiality or loyalty that may be binding on a person, including toward the enterprise that is the subject of an audit.
However, the lifting of professional secrecy authorized under this section does not apply to professional secrecy between a lawyer or a notary and a client.
Any person who communicates information or a document under this section incurs no civil liability for doing so.
In addition, every person or entity that is subject to a request made under this section must, if the Authority so requires, confirm, in an affidavit, the authenticity of the documents or the veracity of the information communicated.
