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.
