CONSIDERING THAT Chapter II of the Charte de la Ville de Gatineau was repealed by the Loi modifiant diverses dispositions afin notamment de donner suite à certaines demandes du milieu municipal (Bill 104);
CONSIDERING THAT section 70.3 of the Loi sur les cités et villes (RLRQ, chapter C-19), introduced by this bill, provides that the appointment of a civil servant or employee referred to in the second or third paragraph of section 71 of that Act now falls exclusively under the municipal council;
CONSIDERING THAT this section 70.3 thus provides that the appointment of employees who are not employees within the meaning of the Code du travail falls under the municipal council, which corresponds to the "Management" category of employees within the City of Gatineau;
CONSIDERING THAT Bill 22, Loi bonifiant les pouvoirs d’intervention des municipalités et modifiant d’autres dispositions législatives, has been tabled at the National Assembly and proposes to amend section 70.3 of the Loi sur les cités et villes so that only the appointment of certain key administrative positions falls exclusively under the municipal council;
CONSIDERING THAT until these legislative amendments are adopted, it is appropriate for the City to comply with the law currently in force:
