12.1. A non-profit legal person whose board of directors is composed mainly and in equal numbers of persons proposed as candidates by the Fondation Lucie et André Chagnon and persons proposed as candidates by the Government or a Minister is not a government agency within the meaning of the Auditor General Act (chapter V-5.01). However, the Auditor General has, with respect to such a legal person, the competence and powers conferred by section 30.2 of the Auditor General Act and, with respect to the auditor of the legal person’s books and accounts, the competence and powers conferred by section 32 of that Act. The Auditor General also has the powers set out in section 30 of that Act with respect to any recipient of a subsidy or funding granted by the legal person and, in all cases, enjoys the immunity attached to the Auditor General’s activities under that Act.
In addition, the Minister responsible designated under section 13 must notify the Auditor General in writing of the existence of the legal person not later than the 30th day after the making of a partnership agreement between the Minister and the Fondation Lucie et André Chagnon.
