On June 26, 2014, the Discipline Committee ordered the suspension of Lise Bergeron’s real estate broker’s licence (Licence No. D3254) for consecutive periods of three (3) months on each of the counts Nos. 1 a) to 1 f), and concurrent periods of one (1) month on count No. 3 a) and 4, but consecutively with counts 1 a) to 1 f) of the formal complaint, to be served as of the expiry of the appeals deadline if she is the holder of a licence issued by the OACIQ or, if not, whenever she becomes a licence holder again.
Given that Lise Bergeron is no longer a licence holder, her licence will be suspended for a period of nineteen (19) months 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).
