697. Works of art and other cultural or historical property brought into Québec and placed or intended to be placed on public exhibit in Québec are exempt from seizure if the Government declares them so by order, for the period specified in the order. The order comes into force on its publication in the Gazette officielle du Québec.
Such exemption from seizure does not prevent the execution of a judgment against the property if it was originally designed, produced or created in Québec, or the execution of a judgment enforcing a service contract relating to the transportation, warehousing or exhibition of the property.
