18. If the Tribunal notes, after examining a matter that is for the occupational health and safety division to hear and decide, that the Commission des normes, de l’équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail failed to rule on certain issues although it was required to do so by law, the Tribunal may, if the hearing date has not been set, stay the proceeding for the period it determines so that the Commission may act.
If, at the expiry of the allotted time, the matter is maintained, the Tribunal hears it as though it were a matter to contest the original decision.
