A public body must apply the guidelines, strategies, policies, standards, directives, rules and application instructions made under this Act.

For the purposes of this Act, the chief executive officer of the public body is the person having the highest administrative authority, such as the deputy minister, the president, the director general or any other person responsible for the day-to-day management of the body.

The Government may, on the joint recommendation of the Minister and the minister responsible for the public body holding the government digital data concerned, designate a public body to act as an official source of government digital data.
An official source of government digital data collects, uses or communicates government digital data, or collects information, including personal information, from any person, where necessary for an administrative or public service purpose.
The Government specifies the government digital data concerned and the administrative or public service purposes for which such data may be the subject of a mobility or valorization authorization. It may determine the public bodies that must collect such data from the source and use them or that must communicate them to the source.
Public bodies referred to in an order made under this section must comply with the rules or measures established by the Government under paragraphs 4 and 5 of section 12.21.
Despite the first paragraph, where the government digital data concerned are held by the Minister of Health and Social Services or by any public body within the Minister’s portfolio, the official source of government digital data is designated under this section on the recommendation of that Minister.

Such a body must also comply with the conditions and procedures determined by the Minister concerning the criteria to be considered for granting authorizations and for project follow-up. Those conditions and procedures may, in particular, pertain to the type of documents to be produced, their required content and form, and the deadlines by which they must be sent.

For the purposes of this Act, an information resource project consists in all the actions taken to develop, acquire, update or replace an information asset or information resource service. It is considered to be of “government-wide interest” if it is designated as such by the Government or if it involves the designation of a public body to act as an official source of government digital data under section 12.14.
However, a technology research and development project carried out in the context of teaching or research under the direction of a professor, researcher, senior lecturer, student, intern, technician or research professional at a university institution referred to in subparagraph 4.1 of the first paragraph of section 2 is not an information resource project.
