Section 198.1
Disposition versions
198.1. The Minister may, by order, in particular on the suggestion of the Office, the Interprofessional Council or a professional order, authorize the implementation of a pilot project related to any matter within the scope of this Code, of an Act constituting a professional order or of a regulation made under them with a view to studying or improving in those matters or experimenting, innovating or defining standards applicable to those matters.
All pilot projects must be in line with the objectives pursued by this Code or the Act constituting an order. Where the pilot project is on the initiative of the Minister or on the suggestion of the Office, it must be the subject of a consultation with, as the case may be, the Interprofessional Council or the orders specifically concerned.
The Minister determines the standards and obligations applicable under a pilot project, which apply despite any inconsistent provision of an Act, of this Code, of the Act constituting an order or of the regulations made under this Code or the said Act.
A pilot project is established for a period of up to two years which the Minister may extend by up to one year. The Minister may modify or terminate a pilot project at any time.
Within six months after the end of the pilot project, the Office evaluates the pilot project and sends its report and recommendations to the Minister.
If the standards and obligations determined for a pilot project authorized in accordance with the first paragraph are incompatible with the standards and obligations determined in accordance with section 86.0.2, the standards and obligations of the former prevail.
198.1. (Repealed).
198.1. The Minister must, at the expiry of a period of not more than five years from the date of coming into force of section 123.3 and every five years thereafter, present a report to the Government on the implementation of the provisions relating to the review committee constituted under section 123.3.
The report shall be tabled within the 15 following days before the National Assembly if it is in session or, if not, shall be deposited with the Assembly’s President.
