39.0.0.1. The Commission ensures that decisions rendered outside Québec under an Act having similar objectives to those of this Act are enforced in Québec, provided all of the following conditions are met:

(1)  the State in which the decision was rendered is recognized by a government order, on the recommendation of the Minister of Labour and, as applicable, the Minister responsible for Canadian Intergovernmental Affairs or the Minister of International Relations, as having legislation substantially similar to this Act and as offering reciprocity in the enforcement of decisions concerning employment standards;

(2)  a request to that effect is made to the Commission by the competent authority of the State concerned, accompanied by a certified copy of the decision and a certificate attesting that the decision is no longer subject to ordinary redress and is final or enforceable, and by the address and other contact information for the Québec residence, domicile, business establishment, head office or office of the employer concerned and, if applicable, of the other debtors subject to the decision;

(3)  the decision orders the payment of a sum of money and is, in the opinion of the Commission, consistent with public order.
