46. Before suspending or revoking certification, or requiring an inspector to pass an examination or training, the Minister must notify the inspector in writing, as prescribed in section 5 of the Act respecting administrative justice (chapter J-3) and allow him at least 10 days to present observations.
The Minister may, where urgent action is required or so as to prevent irreparable damage being caused to persons, property or the environment, suspend certification without being bound by such prior obligations.
In such a case, the inspector may, within 10 days of being notified of the decision, present observations to the Minister for a review of the decision.
Unfavourable decisions concerning certification made by the Minister may be contested by the interested person before the Administrative Tribunal of Québec in accordance with the Act respecting administrative justice.
