*Ce champ est obligatoire.If necessary, do you authorize us to forward your complaint to other organizations, for example in case the complaint involves an infraction or a violation of provincial law?

If you accept, the RBQ will be able to forward your complaint in its entirety (including your personal contact information, when required) to the relevant organization, such as the Commission de la construction du Québec, Office de la protection du consommateur, etc.

*Ce champ est obligatoire.Do you authorize us to submit your complaint at a public hearing involving your contractor?

Depending on the severity or number of complaints received against your contractor, the contractor may be summoned to appear before the Bureau des régisseurs for a public hearing. If you authorize us to submit your complaint at such a hearing, a copy will be forwarded to your contractor and could also be forwarded to any person or organization that requests it following the hearing. They will therefore receive your name and the address of the work. However, your personal contact information (email, phone number, home address) will remain confidential.

Personal information that you provide with your complaint will be stored, used and communicated in compliance with the provisions of the Act Respecting Access to Documents Held by Public Bodies and the Protection of Personal Information. Subject to the Archives Act, once your complaint has been processed this information will be destroyed by the RBQ in accordance with the retention schedule.

It is possible to consult or correct this information by sending a request to the RBQ’s person in charge of access to documents and the protection of personal information. Please send your request to the address indicated on the RBQ and information distribution page [Fr].
