B-1, r. 8 - Regulation respecting the issuance of special permits of the Barreau du Québec

Section 1 Disposition versions

2012-09-01

1. This Regulation is made in order to facilitate the mobility of advocates and forms part of the liberalization of the trade in services provided for in various domestic and international agreements, namely:

(1)  the Agreement on Internal Trade;

(2)  the North American Free Trade Agreement;

(3)  the General Agreement on Trade in Services; and

(4)  the National Mobility Agreement.

It allows the Barreau du Québec to meet the needs of the new socio-economic reality in Québec and foster the professional integration of advocates trained outside Québec, while protecting the public and acknowledging the unique nature of Québec civil law.

O.C. 538-2008, s. 1.
