10.2. If a physician has reasonable grounds to believe that the party or parties to the parental project are likely to endanger the safety or development of any child born of the assisted procreation but wishes to pursue his or her professional relationship with the party or parties, the physician must obtain a positive assessment of the party or parties, carried out by a member of the Ordre des psychologues du Québec or the Ordre des travailleurs sociaux et des thérapeutes conjugaux et familiaux du Québec.

The member of the order is selected by the party or parties to the parental project from a list provided by the order concerned and sent to the Minister.

The assessment is carried out, at the expense of the party or parties to the parental project, on the basis of criteria agreed on by the two professional orders and the Minister. The Minister sees to the dissemination of the assessment criteria.

The Government may, by regulation, determine the conditions applicable to the assessment procedure.
