CHAPTER II COMPOSITION AND ORGANIZATION OF THE TRANSITION COMMITTEE

The Minister designates one of the committee members as chair.

2016, c. 8, s. 6.

7. The committee is a legal person and a mandatary of the State.

The committee’s property forms part of the domain of the State but the performance of its obligations may be levied against its property.

The committee binds only itself when it acts in its own name.

2016, c. 8, s. 7.

8. The committee’s head office is located at the place determined by the Minister. Notice of the location and of any change in location of the head office must be published in the Gazette officielle du Québec and, at the same time, posted on the Minister’s website.

2016, c. 8, s. 8.

9. Each committee member is paid the remuneration and allowances determined by the Minister.

The Minister may determine any other conditions of employment of a member as well as the rules governing the reimbursement of expenses incurred by the member in the exercise of his or her functions.

All sums determined by the Minister that are required for the payment of remuneration, allowances and the reimbursement of expenses are debited from the Land Transportation Network Fund.

2016, c. 8, s. 9.

10. No deed, document or writing binds the committee unless it is signed by the chair or, to the extent determined in the committee’s by-laws, by a member of the committee’s personnel.

The committee may allow, on the conditions and on the documents it determines in its by-laws, that a signature be affixed by means of an automatic device or that a facsimile of a signature be engraved, lithographed or printed. However, the facsimile has the same force as the signature itself only if the document is countersigned by a person authorized by the chair.

2016, c. 8, s. 10.

11. The committee may hire the employees required to exercise its responsibilities and determine their conditions of employment. It may also retain the expert services it considers necessary.

12. No judicial proceedings may be brought against the committee’s members or employees for an official act performed in good faith in the exercise of their functions.

Any liability that may be connected with the protection of the members and employees of the committee is assumed by the Government.

2016, c. 8, s. 12.

13. The Minister may, on the conditions and in accordance with the terms determined by the Minister, grant the committee any sum the Minister considers necessary for its operation. Such sums are debited from the Land Transportation Network Fund.

Any decision made by the committee to borrow money must be approved by the Minister. The rate of interest and other conditions of the loan must be authorized by the Minister of Finance.

2016, c. 8, s. 13.

14. Unless the Government decides otherwise, the committee’s mandate ends on the date set by the Government for the coming into force of section 3 of the Act to modify mainly the organization and governance of shared transportation in the Montréal metropolitan area (chapter O-7.3).

2016, c. 8, s. 14.

15. The committee’s rights and obligations that do not become those of the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain or the Réseau de transport métropolitain become those of the Minister, or of the Minister of Finance in the case of rights or debts of a financial institution or relating to a financial instrument or contract designated by the Government.

The Minister or the Minister of Finance, as applicable, becomes, without continuance of suit, a party to any proceeding to which the committee was party with regard to the rights the Minister acquires and the debts and other obligations the Minister assumes.

Assets and liabilities resulting from obligations that become obligations of the Minister become assets and liabilities of the Land Transportation Network Fund.

2016, c. 8, s. 15.

16. The committee’s debts that become debts of the Minister of Finance are debts referred to in section 10 of the Financial Administration Act (chapter A-6.001).

The Minister of Finance may transfer to the general fund, out of the sums credited to the Land Transportation Network Fund, any sum corresponding to a sum taken out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the payment of the debts.

2016, c. 8, s. 16.

CHAPTER III MISSION OF THE TRANSITION COMMITTEE

17. The mission of the transition committee is

(1)  to establish, with the directors and employees of the public transit operating authorities and those of the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal, conditions to facilitate, for users of transportation systems in the Montréal metropolitan area, the transition to the new organization and governance scheme;

(2)  to see to it that the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain and the Réseau de transport métropolitain are set up;

(3)  to foster the implementation of the new shared transportation framework for the Montréal metropolitan area as well as the new governance rules;

(4)  to ensure that the Authority and the Network take over the responsibilities currently assumed by the public transit operating authorities; and

(5)  to establish, in accordance with section 28, the first expertise and experience profiles for Authority and Network board members.

2016, c. 8, s. 17.

CHAPTER IV OPERATION, POWERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRANSITION COMMITTEE

DIVISION I OPERATION AND POWERS

18. Committee decisions are made at committee meetings.

The quorum at committee meetings is the majority of the committee’s members.

2016, c. 8, s. 18.

19. Subject to the second paragraph of section 24, the committee must, in the course of its mandate, provide the public transit operating authorities with any information it considers relevant to keep them informed on the carrying out of its mission.

The Minister may issue directives to the committee in that respect.

2016, c. 8, s. 19.

20. The committee may adopt by-laws establishing its rules of operation.

2016, c. 8, s. 20.

A person who is not a member of the committee may also be designated as a member of a sub-committee.

2016, c. 8, s. 21.

22. The chair of the committee may entrust to one or more members of the committee or, if applicable, of a sub-committee the exercise of certain functions or the examination of any matter the chair specifies.

2016, c. 8, s. 22.

23. The committee may require a public transit operating authority, the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal or any body established by them to provide information or submit documents belonging to them which the committee considers necessary to consult.

The committee may also require a public transit operating authority or the Community or any body established by them to submit a report on a decision or matter that is related to the committee’s mission and concerns the organization, financing or operation of shared transportation services or other modes of transportation or the staff of the authority, Community or body, or any person assigned to those functions.

2016, c. 8, s. 23.

24. Section 23 applies despite the Act respecting Access to documents held by public bodies and the Protection of personal information (chapter A-2.1).

Committee and sub-committee members and committee employees are required to ensure the confidentiality of the documents and information obtained under section 23.

2016, c. 8, s. 24.

25. The committee may, when it considers it necessary for the pursuit of its mission, use the services of an employee of a public transit operating authority, the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal or any body established by them. The committee may designate the employee whose services are required. The committee and the employer must agree on the costs to be paid by the committee for the use of the services. However, the employer must place the designated employee at the disposal of the committee as of the time specified by the committee, despite the absence of an agreement respecting the costs to be paid by the committee for the services.

The employees seconded to the committee remain in the employment of the public transit operating authority, the Community or any body established by them, as applicable, are remunerated by their employer and are governed by the same conditions of employment during the secondment.

2016, c. 8, s. 25.

26. All board members and employees of a public transit operating authority, the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal or any body established by them must cooperate with committee members or employees acting in the exercise of their functions.

No body referred to in the first paragraph may prohibit or otherwise prevent its employees from cooperating with the committee acting in the pursuit of its mission, or take or threaten to take any disciplinary measure against them for having cooperated with the committee.

Section 123 of the Act respecting labour standards (chapter N-1.1) applies, with the necessary modifications, to any employee who believes he or she has been the victim of a practice prohibited by the second paragraph.

2016, c. 8, s. 26.

27. Every decision by which a public transit operating authority makes a financial commitment for a period extending beyond the date preceding the date set by the Government for the coming into force of section 3 of the Act to modify mainly the organization and governance of shared transportation in the Montréal metropolitan area (chapter O-7.3) for expenditures related to the functions conferred on the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain or the Réseau de transport métropolitain must be authorized by the committee.

Any collective agreement or contract of employment entered into or amended by a public transit operating authority must be authorized by the committee if the effect of the agreement or contract is to increase expenditures relating to the employees’ remuneration and employee benefits.

The committee may, at all times, adopt rules to wholly or partially exempt a public transit operating authority from the obligation to obtain the authorization required under the first paragraph. Such rules may, in particular, define monetary thresholds, classes of contracts and periods.

The committee may, exceptionally, approve a decision, collective agreement or contract of employment regarding which an authorization is required under the first or second paragraph. The approval of the committee is deemed to constitute such an authorization.

2016, c. 8, s. 27.

DIVISION II RESPONSIBILITIES

§ 1 . — Expertise and experience profiles

28. The committee establishes the first expertise and experience profiles for board members of the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain and of the Réseau de transport métropolitain.

The committee ensures, in particular, that the members of each board collectively have suitable expertise and experience in the fields of

(1)  transportation;

(2)  land use planning, urban planning and the environment;

(3)  accounting and financial management;

(4)  strategic planning; and

(5)  law.

2016, c. 8, s. 28.

§ 2 . — Reassignment of employees

29. The committee may examine the circumstances of the hiring, after 12 November 2015, of employees of a public transit operating authority assigned to functions conferred on the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain or the Réseau de transport métropolitain by one of the Acts enacted by sections 3 and 4. The committee may make any recommendation with regard to such employees to the Minister and the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal.

2016, c. 8, s. 29.

30. The committee must come to an agreement, within the time prescribed by the Minister, with all certified associations within the meaning of the Labour Code (chapter C-27) that represent the employees in the employment of a public transit operating authority who are assigned to functions conferred on the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain or the Réseau de transport métropolitain by one of the Acts enacted by sections 3 and 4, on the procedure for the reassignment of those employees as members of the personnel of the Authority or the Network and on the rights of and remedies available to employees who believe they have been wronged as a consequence of the application of that procedure.

The parties may also agree on conditions of employment incidental to the reassignment of employees.

An agreement entered into under this section may not provide for conditions of employment that entail higher costs than those entailed by the application of the conditions of employment applicable on 20 May 2016, or increase the workforce.

The Minister may grant additional time at the request of the committee or of a certified association.

The provisions for the reassignment of employees are the provisions relating to the application of the assignment process provided for in the applicable conditions of employment or, where there is no such process, the provisions that allow employees to be assigned a position or a place of employment.

2016, c. 8, s. 30.

31. If no agreement is reached on all the matters referred to in the first and second paragraphs of section 30 within the prescribed time, the Minister informs the Minister of Labour, Employment and Social Solidarity, who then notifies the parties that he or she is submitting the disagreement for mediation-arbitration.

The Minister of Labour, Employment and Social Solidarity may authorize mediation-arbitration for a particular disagreement or a group of disagreements relating to the determination of the reassignment procedure concerning a class of employment or a group of employees, provided the parties apply for such authorization from that Minister within 10 days after receiving the notice.

An application to submit a disagreement to a mediator-arbitrator may also be filed by the parties before the expiry of the time referred to in the first paragraph if they consider it unlikely that they will come to an agreement before that date. In such a case, the Minister of Labour, Employment and Social Solidarity notifies the parties and the Minister that the disagreement is being submitted to a mediator-arbitrator.

Sections 76 and 77 of the Labour Code (chapter C-27) apply, with the necessary modifications, to the choice of a mediator-arbitrator. The time limit prescribed in section 77 of that Code runs from the date the authorization is given under the second paragraph, if applicable.

2016, c. 8, s. 31.

32. Before proceeding with arbitration, the mediator-arbitrator must attempt to bring the parties to an agreement on the matters referred to in section 31 on which no agreement has been reached.

The mediator-arbitrator must proceed with arbitration on the matters on which no agreement has been reached before or during the mediation if, in the opinion of the mediator-arbitrator, there is no likelihood of the parties reaching agreement within a reasonable time. In such a case, the mediator-arbitrator informs the parties and the Minister.

2016, c. 8, s. 32.

33. The first paragraph of sections 79 and 80 and sections 81 to 89, 91, 91.1, 93 and 139 to 140 of the Labour Code (chapter C-27) apply, with the necessary modifications and subject to sections 31, 32, 34 and 36 to 38 of this Act, to the arbitration.

2016, c. 8, s. 33.

34. The Regulation respecting the remuneration of arbitrators (chapter C-27, r. 6) applies to the mediation-arbitration as if it were a dispute referred to arbitration under section 75 of the Labour Code (chapter C-27), with the necessary modifications. Among other modifications, the hours spent on mediation are remunerated as if it were a pre-hearing conference.

The certified associations are responsible for determining among themselves the share of the mediator-arbitrator’s remuneration they must pay. However, those associations are solidarily liable for paying that share.

2016, c. 8, s. 34.

35. The mediator-arbitrator proceeds with arbitration on examination of the record. The mediator-arbitrator may hold arbitration hearings if he or she considers it necessary.

2016, c. 8, s. 35.

36. The parties may agree at any time on any of the matters on which there has been disagreement. The agreement must be consigned in the arbitration award, which may not amend it.

2016, c. 8, s. 36.

37. The mediator-arbitrator determines the reassignment procedure and the rights of and remedies available to employees who believe they have been wronged as a consequence of that procedure.

The mediator-arbitrator may also decide on any condition of employment that he or she believes is incidental to an employee’s reassignment.

The award may not provide conditions of employment that entail higher costs than those entailed by the application of the conditions of employment applicable on 20 May 2016 or increase the staffing levels.

2016, c. 8, s. 37.

38. The mediator-arbitrator must render the award not later than the date prescribed by the Minister.

If the Minister considers that exceptional circumstances justify it, the Minister may, at the request of the mediator-arbitrator, grant an extension to not later than the date set by the Government for the coming into force of section 3 of the Act to modify mainly the organization and governance of shared transportation in the Montréal metropolitan area (chapter O-7.3) at the latest.

2016, c. 8, s. 38.

39. The arbitration award is binding on the associations that have been certified to represent the employees of the public transit operating authorities concerned, the committee, the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain and the Réseau de transport métropolitain.

If a collective agreement is in force, the award operates to amend the agreement. If the renewal of the collective agreement is being negotiated, the provisions of the award are, as of the date on which the award takes effect, deemed to form part of the last collective agreement. If a first collective agreement is being negotiated, the provisions of the award amend the applicable conditions of employment.

2016, c. 8, s. 39.

40. The committee must also prepare every plan for the reassignment of public transit operating authority employees assigned to functions conferred on the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain or the Réseau de transport métropolitain by one of the Acts enacted by sections 3 and 4 and not represented by a certified association, and set out the terms governing the rights of and remedies available to employees who believe they have been wronged as a consequence of the application of the reassignment plan.

A plan prepared under the first paragraph applies to the Authority or the Network as of the date set by the Government for the coming into force of section 3 of the Act to modify mainly the organization and governance of shared transportation in the Montréal metropolitan area (chapter O-7.3).

2016, c. 8, s. 40.

§ 3 . — Transfer of assets and liabilities

41. The committee must identify which of the assets and liabilities of the Agence métropolitaine de transport relating to the functions conferred on the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain or the Réseau de transport métropolitain by this Act are to be transferred to either of those new bodies. The committee sends its recommendations to the Government to allow the latter to determine the value and conditions of the transfer.

The committee must also identify which of the assets and liabilities of the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal, the Société de transport de Laval, the Société de transport de Longueuil and the Société de transport de Montréal relating to functions conferred on the Authority by this Act are to be transferred to the Authority. The committee determines the value and conditions of the transfer.

The committee must also identify which of the assets and liabilities of any other public transit operating authority referred to in section 5 relating to functions conferred on the Authority or the Network by this Act are to be transferred to either of those new bodies. The committee determines the value and conditions of the transfer.

2016, c. 8, s. 41.

§ 4 . — First financing plan and first budgets

42. The committee must prepare the first financing policy of the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain as well as the Authority’s budget estimates for the first fiscal year, which must be consistent with that policy.

The committee must also prepare the budget estimates for the first fiscal year of the Réseau de transport métropolitain.

In fulfilling the obligations under the first and second paragraphs, the committee takes into account the services provided to users of shared transportation services by public transit operating authorities for the previous fiscal year.

2016, c. 8, s. 42.

§ 5 . — Other responsibilities

43. For the purposes of section 26 of the Act respecting the Réseau de transport métropolitain (2016, chapter 8, section 4; after integration to Compilation, chapter R-25.01), the chair of the committee acts in place of the Network’s secretary.

2016, c. 8, s. 43.
