d) on or around April 7, 2010, on Annex A, for buyers;

f) the Amendments and notice of fulfilment of conditions form;
thus committing an offence under section 147 of the By-Laws of the Association des courtiers et agents immobiliers du Québec;
On February 10, 2014, the Discipline Committee ordered a suspension of Ms. Marie-Josée Lacelle’s real estate broker’s licence (licence no. E2239) for a period of ninety (90) days on each of the counts no. 2 and 3a) to 3e) of the formal complaint, to be served concurrently with each other, and a suspension for a period of thirty (30) days on count no. 4 f) of the formal complaint, to be served consecutively to the suspension periods ordered on counts no. 2 and 3 a) to 3 e) of the formal complaint, for a total suspension period of one hundred and twenty (120) days.
Given that Ms. Marie-Josée Lacelle is no longer a licence holder, her licence will be suspended whenever she becomes a licence holder again.
This notice is given in accordance with section 33 of the Regulation respecting the issue of broker’s and agency licences (R.R.Q., c. C-73.2, r.3).
