Request for Access to a Document

Following amendments made to the Act respecting access to documents held by public bodies and the protection of personal information (Access to Information Act), which came into force on September 14, 2007, professional orders are now subject to the provisions of the Access to Information Act, like other public bodies. 

At the Collège, the person responsible for applying this legislation is Dr. Yves Robert, Secretary of the order. Dr. Robert will ensure that the Collège fulfils its responsibilities in matters of access to information and protection of personal information. He will receive and process requests for information sent to him. Dr. Claude Ménard will act as his substitute. However, the syndic, Dr. François Gauthier, exercises these functions when it comes to documents and information he obtains or is in possession of, including those he transmits to others within the order.

Under the terms of this law, you may request access to documents related to supervision of the professional practice of medicine. The right of access applies only to documents whose transmission does not require calculation or comparison of information.
