180. Where a Santé Québec institution offers services to users lodged in its facilities, a residents’ committee is established in each facility where such users are lodged.

However, in the case of a facility that provides lodging to fewer than 10 users or in which the majority of the users are expected to be lodged for a period of less than six months, or where establishing a residents’ committee is difficult to achieve in the circumstances, the president and executive director may, after consulting the facility’s users’ committee, as applicable,

(1)  entrust the exercise of the functions of the residents’ committee to the users’ committee, without a residents’ committee being established in that facility; or

(2)  form a residents’ committee common to a number of facilities grouped by the president and executive director.

Each year, the president and executive director must assess the effectiveness of the measure chosen under the second paragraph and, if need be, modify it in accordance with this section.
