To that end, the Order must, every five years, submit to an external audit aimed at ensuring compliance with the highest standards and best practices in matters of information security and it must communicate the audit’s findings to the Minister of Justice.

67. Possession of acts kept in notarial records and the documents annexed thereto may not be surrendered except in the cases provided by law.

Before possession may be surrendered, the notary or, in the case of joint or shared notarial records, one of the notaries or partners shall make a true copy of the act and documents which, after being signed by the judge ordering the filing of the act and documents or, where section 192 of the Professional Code (chapter C-26) applies, by the person requiring the production of the act and documents in the exercise of his or her functions, is substituted for and stands in lieu of the minute until the act en minute is re-deposited in the notarial records.

Where an act was received in a medium other than paper, it shall be reproduced and delivered to the judge ordering the filing of the act or, where section 192 of the Professional Code applies, to the person requiring the production of the act in the exercise of his or her functions.

The same obligation applies to any person who, in particular as provisional custodian or assignee, is the depositary of the notarial records.
