40. This Act does not preclude the implementation of conventions or agreements between a designated State and Québec or of other provisions of Québec law, particularly to obtain the return of a child wrongfully removed or retained, to organize rights of access or to extend the scope of this Act to include any child under 18 years of age.
The conventions, agreements or other provisions referred to in the first paragraph may provide for more favorable conditions for the return of a child than are provided in this Act.
