16.2. A public body must comply with the project management conditions and procedures determined by the Government, on a proposal of the Minister and on the recommendation of the Chair of the Conseil du trésor, relating to the stages a project must go through and the required opinions and authorizations. The Government also determines the types of projects that must be authorized and the authority responsible for authorizing a project or a phase of a project, which authorization may vary according to the costs of the project, its complexity and the risks it involves.
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.
If the conditions and procedures relate to the management of projects carried out by the public bodies referred to in any of subparagraphs 4, 4.1 and 5 of the first paragraph of section 2 or by a body having its own information officer in accordance with the second paragraph of section 8, they must be determined after consultation with the minister responsible for the body.
The Government may also allow the decision-making authority to delegate its power of authorization.
