541. The Minister may, with the authorization of the Conseil du trésor and on the conditions it determines, enter into an agreement with one or more bodies representing intermediate resources, other than those to which the Act respecting the representation of family-type resources and certain intermediate resources and the negotiation process for their group agreements (chapter R-24.0.2) applies, on the following matters:

(1)  minimum and specific conditions for the provision of services by those intermediate resources;

(2)  the modes and scale of remuneration for those services, taking into account the classification established by the Minister under section 540, as well as various measures, terms and conditions applicable to the payment of the remuneration;

(3)  the funding, implementation and maintenance of programs and services that meet the needs of all the resources the body represents, particularly with regard to training and professional development; and

(4)  the setting up of any joint committee either to ensure the administrative follow-up of the agreement, the provision of adequate training and professional development to maintain existing resources and renew them, or for any other purpose considered useful or necessary by the parties.

Such an agreement is binding on Santé Québec and on all intermediate resources covered by the agreement, whether or not they are members of the body that entered into the agreement.

If no agreement is entered into under this section, the mode and scale of remuneration for the services, as well as the various measures, terms and conditions applicable to the payment of the remuneration are determined by the Minister, with the authorization of the Conseil du trésor and subject to the conditions it determines.
