627. In addition to the reasons set out in section 626, Santé Québec may suspend, revoke or decide not to renew the authorization granted for the operation of a specialized medical centre for one of the following reasons:

(1)  in the opinion of the board of directors of a professional order, the quality or safety of the professional services provided within the centre by members of the order is not adequate;

(2)  the authorization holder or any of the physicians practising within the specialized medical centre has been found guilty of an offence under the fourth or ninth paragraph of section 22 or under section 22.0.0.1 of the Health Insurance Act (chapter A-29), as applicable, for an act or omission that concerns the centre; or

(3)  the authorization holder fails to maintain control over the operation of the centre, in particular if Santé Québec finds that the authorization holder is not the owner or lessee of the centre’s facilities, is not the employer of the personnel required for the operation of the centre or does not have the authority required to allow physicians who apply to practise in the centre to do so.

Santé Québec may also suspend or revoke the authorization granted for the operation of a private institution or the authorization granted to a community organization offering voluntary termination of pregnancy services where an opinion similar to the one referred to in subparagraph 1 of the first paragraph is issued with regard to the professional services provided within the institution or on behalf of the community organization.
