36. The Minister or a person designated by the Minister for that purpose may investigate any matter related to the application of this Act. To that end, the Minister or the person the Minister designates has the powers and immunity conferred on commissioners appointed under the Act respecting public inquiry commissions (chapter C-37), except the power to order imprisonment. The Minister may transmit the conclusions of the investigation to the persons or authorities concerned.
Where those conclusions propose corrective measures, the Minister may require the persons or authorities concerned to communicate to the Minister, within the time determined by the Minister, their intentions in that regard. Where the conclusions propose measures to a municipal authority that the Minister considers to be imperative to ensure public safety, the Minister may order their implementation and the sending of a compliance report within the time determined by the Minister.
