23. In the case of a minor under 14 years of age, the person having parental authority or the tutor has the right to be informed of the existence of and to have access to any information concerning the minor that is held by a body. The person or tutor also has the right to request the rectification of the information if it is inaccurate, incomplete or equivocal or if it was collected or is kept in contravention of the law.

Despite the first paragraph, the person having parental authority or the tutor does not have the right to be informed of the existence of or to have access to information concerning the minor that is held by a body where a director of youth protection determines that harm to the minor’s health or safety would likely result in any of the following situations:

(1)  the information was obtained by a director of youth protection under the Youth Protection Act (chapter P-34.1);

(2)  the assessment of the child’s situation and living conditions under section 49 of that Act is ongoing; or

(3)  the situation of the child is or has previously been taken in charge by a director of youth protection under section 51 of that Act.
