6. The Director may be dismissed only by the National Assembly, for cause, on a motion of the Prime Minister following a recommendation made by the Minister to that effect and with the approval of two-thirds of its Members, after the Minister receives a written report from the Commission de la fonction publique.

Before presenting a motion for the dismissal of the Director, the Prime Minister designates a Member from his or her party and requests the leader of each other authorized party represented in the National Assembly to do likewise. A summary of the report of the Commission de la fonction publique is made available to the designated Members for consultation at a single in camera meeting.

The Director may not be suspended without remuneration by the Government except for cause, on the recommendation of the Minister after the latter receives a written report from the Commission de la fonction publique. The suspension may not exceed three months.

In an urgent situation requiring prompt intervention, or in a presumed case of serious fault, the Minister may provisionally relieve the Director from duties with remuneration.
