Section 38 Disposition versions

2024-12-01

38. Santé Québec must, insofar as a five-year pre-hospital emergency service organization plan provides for it and taking into account the resources available, take the necessary measures to support the implementation of a first responder service in the territory of a territorial institution. The same applies to a regional entity with respect to its territory.

For that purpose, Santé Québec or the regional entity, as applicable, must enter into, with interested municipalities having jurisdiction in the territory of a territorial institution or the regional entity’s territory, as applicable, an agreement the content of which must be consistent with the content determined under subparagraph 7 of the first paragraph of section 3, under which the municipality shall designate one or more services able to offer first responder services. The services so designated must be certified by Santé Québec or by the regional entity, as applicable.

Any municipality may enter into an agreement described in the second paragraph. A municipality that is a party to such an agreement has the powers necessary for its execution in particular the power to entrust the responsibilities vested in it to a non-profit legal person constituted under an Act of Québec.

2002, c. 69, s. 38; 2005, c. 32, s. 296; 2023, c. 34, s. 1348.
