P-32 - Public Protector Act
Section 23
Disposition versions
23. Where the Public Protector deems it expedient to intervene, he shall give the author of the act or omission or, if the latter is a public body, the chief executive officer thereof, an opportunity to be heard and, where appropriate, shall invite him to remedy the prejudicial situation.
Where an intervention addressed to the author of the act or omission, and to his superiors if deemed expedient by the Public Protector, has failed to remedy the prejudicial situation, the Public Protector shall give the chief executive officer of the public body an opportunity to be heard and, where appropriate, shall invite him to remedy the situation.
23. For the purposes of the investigations which the Public Protector is authorized to make under this act, he, his assistant and each of his functionaries and employees whom he designates in writing shall have the powers and immunities of commissioners appointed under the Act respecting public inquiry commissions (chapter C-37).
The investigation shall be conducted in private.
