Timely submission of bids is sacrosanct - a fundamental and strict requirement of the competitive tendering process.

The submission of a complete bid by the bid submission deadline is usually a fundamental mandatory condition that must be strictly...

Bulletin #24 | Special Series - Bill 64 & the act to modernize legislative provisions as regards the protection of personal information November 23, 2020 Bill 64, entitled An Act to modernize legislative provisions as regards the protection of personal information, is aimed at modifying practices followed by all organizations in Quebec for the protection of personal information.

The class action claimed that the bank had to pay for overtime work...
