This agreement:
allows organizations to exchange information essential to the exercise of their respective mandates, without it being necessary to request the consent of the person concerned;
guarantees that the communication of information to Revenu Québec is done exclusively within the framework of this agreement.
The Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec approved the agreement in question after analyzing the nature of the information and the purposes for which it would be communicated, as well as the means implemented to ensure its confidentiality and the security measures provided for this purpose.
