The Government may also, upon the recommendation of the Minister, extend, repeal or amend the decree without the consent of the associations of employees or the employers’ association, when it is of the opinion that, in the public interest, such solution is the only one which can remedy the existing situation; it shall not however so amend the decree without such associations having been invited to a hearing before the parliamentary Committee on Labour, Manpower and Immigration, with regard to the reasons for the impossibility of coming to an agreement respecting the amendments to be made to the decree.
Any decision adopted under the preceding paragraph shall be executory for every employer and every employee from the date indicated therein; the decision must be published forthwith in the Gazette officielle du Québec.
