17.1. The holder of a day care centre permit, nursery school permit or stop over centre permit must obtain authorization in writing from the bureau(1) before acquiring or renting premises with a view to relocating permanently, thus changing the address indicated in his permit;
(2) to increase the maximum number of children he may receive indicated in his permit.
The permit holder shall apply in writing for the authorization and the bureau shall render its decision within 30 days of the application.
The bureau may refuse to grant its authorization where, in its opinion, the relocation or, as the case may be, the increase in the maximum number of children the permit holder may receive is inconsistent with the development plan established pursuant to section 68.1, taking into account, among other factors, the permit applications and applications for authorization made under the first paragraph in respect of which the bureau has yet to render a decision.
No decision of the bureau to refuse its authorization may be regarded as a decision of the bureau to refuse to issue or renew a permit.
