Section 165.22
Disposition versions
165.22. Any person who wishes to make a disclosure may do so by communicating to the Office any information, other than information relating to the health of a third person, that the person believes could show that a failure to comply with this Act has occurred or is about to occur, or that the person has been asked to fail to comply.
A person who discloses such a failure to comply may do so despite the provisions of the Act respecting Access to documents held by public bodies and the Protection of personal information (chapter A-2.1), except the provisions of section 33 of that Act, and despite the provisions of the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (chapter P-39.1), any other communication restrictions under other laws of Québec, any provision of a contract or any duty of loyalty or confidentiality that may be binding on the person, in particular with respect to an employer or a client.
However, the lifting of professional secrecy authorized under this section does not apply to professional secrecy between a lawyer or a notary and a client.
