11. An act, document or writing is binding on or may be attributed to the Commissioner or the Associate Commissioner only if it is signed by them or, to the extent provided in the delegation of signature instrument, by a member of the Commissioner’s personnel. The delegation instrument must be published in the Gazette officielle du Québec but takes effect upon its signing by the Commissioner.
In any civil or penal proceeding, any document purporting to be signed by the Commissioner or the Associate Commissioner is evidence of its contents and of the capacity of the signatory, in the absence of proof to the contrary.
