March 3, 2023 – On June 8, 2021, the National Assembly of Québec assented the Act mainly to improve the transparency of enterprises (Bill 78). This Bill makes amendments to the Act respecting the legal publicity of enterprises. New responsibilities have been entrusted to the Enterprise registrar. On 31 March 2023, this new legislative framework will enter into force and introduce new obligations relating to the publication of information by registrants, including syndicates of co-owners. The Government of Quebec has thus improved the information available at the Registre des entreprises du Québec (the "REQ"), while improving corporate transparency, strengthening public protection and contributing to efforts to fight tax evasion, money laundering and corruption.

A co-owner made complaints against me to the syndicate of co-ownership. I asked for a list of complaints about me to find out exactly what I am accused of. I had a refusal as an answer. Question: How can I access this information? Which form do I need to fill out? Who do I contact if the syndicate does not cooperate?

La webradio du 16 novembre 2022 a traité d’un sujet fort complexe soit celui de la protection des renseignements personnels en copropriété divise. Cohabiter avec d’autres dans un immeuble en copropriété divise implique le droit au respect de la vie privée. Ce droit est garanti par l'article 3 du Code civil du Québec et la Charte des droits et libertés de la personne. Sa dimension informationnelle est juridiquement protégée par la Loi sur la protection des renseignements personnels dans le secteur privé (LPRPSP). Par suite de la sanction le 22 septembre 2022 du Projet de loi n° 64, de nouvelles règles d’utilisation et de diffusion des renseignements personnels assujettissent le monde de la copropriété. Les invités étaient l’avocat Me François Joli-Cœur associé du cabinet Borden Ladner Gervais, l'avocat émérite Me Yves Joli-Cœur du cabinet Therrien Couture Joli-Coeur, ainsi que madame Valéry Couture (gestionnaire de copropriété de Condo stratégis). Rappelons que Me François Joli-Cœur est une figure bien connue dans ce domaine, celui-ci axant sa pratique sur les questions de respect de la vie privée et de cybersécurité.

Cohabiting with others in a building in divided co-ownership implies the right to respect for the private life. This right is guaranteed by article 3 of the Civil Code of Québec and  the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. Its informational dimension is legally protected by  the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (PHIPA). With the assent  of Bill 64 on September 22, 2022, new rules for the use and dissemination of personal information have subject (and will subject) the world of co-ownership since September 22, 2022, while other rules will come into force in September 2023 and 2024.

We are concerned about the comings and goings of strangers in our building. This concern is all the more justified by the fact that some of our co-owners rent without right, for short periods, to travelers (Airbnb-type rental). Question: Can the Board of Directors ask to see a tenant's identity card in order to certify that he is who he claims to be?
