12. The board of directors shall constitute a committee to decide applications for admission to the professional training program, for entry on the roll of the Order, whether as notary or retired notary, or, subject to section 12.1, for resumption of the right to practise. The committee members shall take the oath set out in Schedule II to the Professional Code (chapter C-26); however, the oath is not to be construed as prohibiting the sharing of information or documents within the Order for the protection of the public.
To that end, the committee shall ascertain whether a candidate has the moral character and the conduct, competence and qualifications required to practise the notarial profession.
The committee exercises its functions with regard to both candidates to the practice of the profession and members. It may hear the candidate, the member or any other person. However, it may not refuse to grant the candidate’s or the member’s application before giving the candidate or member an opportunity to be heard.
In the exercise of its functions, the committee has the powers provided for in sections 45 to 45.3, 46.0.1, 48 to 52.1, 55.0.1 to 55.3, 56, 159, 161 and 161.0.1 of the Professional Code. The committee also exercises the powers provided for in section 55 of that Code unless a regulation made under section 90 of the Code provides that they are to be exercised by the professional inspection committee. Chapter VIII of the Code applies to the committee, to its members and to the secretary of the Order.
The committee has the powers needed to carry out its mandate; it exercises, in particular, the powers of the Superior Court to compel, by summons signed by a member of the committee or the secretary of the Order, a candidate, a member or any other person to appear, to answer under oath and to produce any information or document. The Code of Civil Procedure (chapter C-25.01) applies, with the necessary modifications, for the purposes of this paragraph.
Authorization to be entered on the roll or to resume practice may be made subject to any condition that the committee considers necessary for the protection of the public.
