8. The Corporation must demand repayment from a business of financial assistance contemplated in paragraph 3 or 4 of section 6 that it has received and the business is bound to repay it, if the controlling shares or more than one-half of the assets of the business are transferred, within five years from the granting of the financial assistance, to a business not having its head office in Québec, as defined by regulation, or a person not resident in Québec.
Before acting in compliance with the first paragraph, the Corporation must notify the Minister of its intention to do so, and the Minister may then exempt the Corporation from the repayment if he considers that the transfer is in the economic interest of Québec.
