Composed of seven members, the Committee will be chaired by Christine Gagnon, lawyer and expert in condominium law, and Francois Desrosiers, economist, professor and expert on urban management and real estate. Supported by the Chamber of Notaries of Quebec, their recommendations will be sent this summer to the Minister of Justice of Quebec, Jean-Marc Fournier. Recall that the Regroupement des gestionnaires et copropriétaires du Québec (RGCQ) submitted a Memorandum to the Working Group, in 2010, which specifies several dysfunctions experienced in this type of housing.

After the experiences of the past 40 years, the government of Quebec plans to review the rules that apply to the condominium. This reform aims is to better protect the buyers and ensure the safeguarding of the Quebec real estate market. "Thanks to the dozens of questions asked every day by users of condolegal.com, we can confirm that this approach is consistent with public expectations in terms of ownership," said Yves Joli-Coeur. We invite you to participate to the public consultation days planned as part of the Condo Advisory Committee, so that everyone can benefit from the changes to come.
