Section 24 Disposition versions

24. The depositions of the witnesses shall be taken down in writing, either word for word or in summary, and shall be signed by each of them.

Nevertheless, the investigation commissioner may have the depositions taken down by stenography or recorded in any other manner allowed before the courts of Québec.

Any interested person may ask that the depositions be so taken down or recorded, provided that he first deposits with the investigation commissioner an amount sufficient to pay the costs, and that the required personnel be available.

The stenographer or the person charged with recording the depositions shall, before acting, take oath before the investigation commissioner in accordance with the schedule.
