188. Section 78 of the Act respecting the Régie du logement (chapter R‐8.1) is amended

(1)  by inserting, after the word “decide” in the first paragraph, the words “that a writing signed by an authorized person at the Ministère de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale bears witness to the fact that a person is a recipient under a last resort financial assistance program and to the amount of the benefit granted and that the writing is accepted in lieu of the testimony of a representative of that department. Similarly, a commissioner may decide”;

(2)  by replacing the second paragraph by the following paragraph:

“However, a party may require the presence of the representative of the Ministère de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale or of the inspector at the hearing ; however, if the board considers that the production of the writing or report would have sufficed, it may condemn that party to pay costs in the amount it fixes.”
