436.0.2. To ensure the effective and efficient management of procurement, the Minister may, after consulting the institutions concerned and giving the joint procurement groups concerned the opportunity to submit observations, ask the enterprise registrar to amalgamate the groups.
The enterprise registrar shall then issue letters patent amalgamating the groups, in accordance with the Minister’s request, into a single joint procurement group constituted under Part III of the Companies Act (chapter C-38). Once constituted, the new group enjoys all the rights, acquires all the property and assumes all the obligations of the amalgamated groups and the proceedings to which the amalgamated groups are a party may be continued without continuance of suit. The Minister may also, for the same reasons, ask that an existing group be dissolved.
