668. No provider of services in the field of health and social services may call on a personnel placement agency’s services or on independent labour, except to the extent prescribed by government regulation.

The Government may, in particular,

(1)  define what constitutes a personnel placement agency and independent labour;

(2)  set the period during which a provider may call on a personnel placement agency’s services or on independent labour;

(3)  establish a maximum hourly rate for any day of work performed by a member of a personnel placement agency’s personnel or by independent labour for any position title or any job class the Government identifies and whose services correspond to the tasks of a provider’s personnel;

(4)  determine the obligations incumbent on a provider, a personnel placement agency or independent labour;

(5)  establish any other term or condition relating to the use of a personnel placement agency’s services or independent labour;

(6)  determine the administrative measures applicable if the provisions of a regulation made under this section are not complied with; and

(7)  identify, among the provisions of a regulation made under this section, those whose violation constitutes an offence and renders the contravening person liable to the fine provided for in section 816.

The provisions of a government regulation may vary depending on the categories of providers, the sectors of activity of personnel placement agencies or of independent labour, the classes of personnel, the job titles, the health regions or the territories the Government determines.

A private institution, an intermediate resource, a family-type resource, a private seniors’ residence, a palliative care hospice that holds an accreditation issued by Santé Québec under section 511, or a religious institution that operates an infirmary or maintains a residential and long-term care facility to receive its members or followers are providers of services in the field of health and social services governed by this chapter.
