The representations sought to present the Government of Quebec’s point of view regarding the main duties and responsibilities of government lawyers and notaries represented by LANEQ, and to compare them – based on agreed factors – to those of other government professionals and criminal and penal prosecuting attorneys.
The Government of Quebec has more than 1,100 unionized lawyers and notaries in the legal departments of its ministries and government agencies. With its in-depth understanding of the ins and outs of public administration and subtleties of governmental and paragovernmental negociation, Fasken’s team was able to effectively represent the Government of Quebec’s interests in this matter.
During the 30-day hearing period that spanned 9 months, over 30 witnesses were heard by the Committee with regard to their work for different ministries or government agencies. The vast quantity of evidence produced by the parties had to be rigorously and methodically organized by Fasken’s team.
A Fasken team composed of Sébastien Gobeil, Maxime-Arnaud Keable and Elisabeth Bouffard represented the Government of Quebec in this matter.
