Full text
209. A users’ committee is established for each institution, and each institution must, in the case of a public institution or of a private institution which is a party to an agreement allocate to it under section 475, allocate to it the special budget provided for that purpose in its operating budget or, in the case of a private institution which is not a party to an agreement, allocate to it the amount paid for that purpose by the Minister.
However, an institution operating a residential and long-term care centre that has facilities in more than one region of Québec may choose to set up one users’ committee for each region or a single users’ committee for two or more regions, the committee members being elected by the users of the region or regions concerned.
If the institution operates a centre offering in-patient services, it must set up an in-patients’ committee in each of the centre’s facilities.
The users’ committee is composed of at least five members elected by the users of the institution and of a representative designated by and from among the in-patients’ committees set up under the second paragraph.
The majority of the members must be users. However, if it is not possible to have a majority of users on the committee, the users may elect another person of their choice, provided that the person does not work for the institution or practise a profession in a centre operated by the institution.
An in-patients’ committee is composed of at least three members elected by the in-patients of the facility in conformity with the conditions set out in the fourth paragraph.

209. Each institution shall, once it operates a residential and long-term care centre of 20 beds or more, a rehabilitation centre, a psychiatric hospital centre or a child and youth protection centre, set up a committee for the users of those centres and, in the case of a public institution or of a private institution which is a party to an agreement under section 475, allocate to it the special budget provided for that purpose in its operating budget or, in the case of a private institution which is not a party to an agreement, the amount paid for that purpose by the Minister.
An institution which operates a residential and long-term care centre of less than 20 beds, a general and specialized hospital centre or a local community service centre may set up such a committee at the request of the users to whom it provides services.
The committee shall be composed of at least five members elected by the users of the institution. A majority of the members must be users. However, where it is impossible to obtain a majority of users on the committee, the users may elect any other person of their choice, provided the person is not a person working for the institution or practising a profession in a centre operated by the institution.
Where the institution operates more than one centre or uses several facilities for the same centre, the composition of the committee must ensure an equitable representation of the users of each of those centres and of the users lodged in each of those facilities.
