47.1. The Commission may, with the agreement of the parties, appoint a person to endeavour to settle the complaint referred to in section 47 to the satisfaction of the parties.

Only a person who has not already acted in the matter in question in another capacity may be appointed for that purpose by the Commission.

Any verbal or written information gathered by the person referred to in the first paragraph must remain confidential. The person may not be compelled to disclose anything that has been revealed to him or that has come to his knowledge in the exercise of his functions, or to produce before a court or before any body or person exercising judicial or quasi-judicial functions any document made or obtained in the exercise of his functions, except in penal matters, where the court considers that such proof is necessary for a full and complete defence. Despite section 9 of the Act respecting Access to documents held by public bodies and the Protection of personal information (chapter A-2.1), no person has a right of access to any such document.
