Concerned about the amendment made to Bill
115 compelling all professionals except
lawyers and notaries to report abuse, the
Order sought a legal opinion on the matter,
which concludes that “in its present form,
Bill 115 only offers limited and inadequate
protection to vulnerable persons.” [Translation]
The Order would like Mtre Baudouin’s and
Mtre Morissette’s analysis and recommendations
to be used to improve Bill 115 prior to
its final adoption, with a view to truly
protecting seniors and persons in vulnerable
situations.
