688. If, during the examination of a complaint, the medical examiner is of the opinion that the facts justifying the complaint may constitute grounds for a disciplinary measure, the medical examiner terminates the examination and refers the complaint, for a disciplinary investigation, to the persons in charge of discipline within the public institution concerned or, as applicable, to the entity or person having the authority to take disciplinary measures within the private institution. The medical examiner notifies the commissioner and the complainant.
During the investigation, the complainant must be allowed to submit observations. In addition, the medical examiner must be kept informed of the progress of the investigation on a regular basis or at least of each of the key stages of the investigation. The medical examiner must periodically inform the complainant of the progress. As long as the investigation has not been completed, the medical examiner must, every 60 days from the date on which the complainant was informed of the referral of the complaint, inform the complainant of the progress of the investigation.
The medical examiner must inform the complainant of the conclusion of the disciplinary investigation and of any disciplinary measures taken by the institution or of the fact that the professional order concerned has been informed of the situation.
