Section 492 Disposition versions

Not in force

Not in force

492. Despite section 372, no private institution under agreement may, without having obtained Santé Québec’s prior authorization, accept gifts, legacies, subsidies or other contributions that are paid on the condition that a project be carried out in one of the following situations:

(1)  where the assistance is intended to finance a project for which the prior authorization of the Conseil du trésor, the Minister or Santé Québec is required; or

(2)  where the immediate or foreseeable effect of the intended project is to increase the amount of the institution’s annual operating or capital expenditures.

Santé Québec’s prior authorization under the first paragraph is not necessary if the contribution paid is from the Gouvernement du Québec, a government department or a government body whose operating expenses are borne by the Consolidated Revenue Fund. In such a case, the Government or the department or body concerned must notify Santé Québec.

In the situation referred to in subparagraph 2 of the first paragraph, Santé Québec grants the prior authorization only if the private institution under agreement shows that the extra cost can be borne without requiring a budgetary adjustment or a special subsidy from Santé Québec.
