The
full version of the Disciplinary Council’s decision, including the summary of charges, is available on the OIQ’s Web site. In its decision, the Disciplinary Council also ordered Mr. Mathieu to pay all costs in connection with the proceedings, including publication costs. The costs in connection with the proceedings are payable within 30 days of the decision. The sanctions imposed on Mr. Mathieu, which include being struck off the roll and paying the publication costs, are enforceable when he registers again on the OIQ's roll.
As a reminder, the sanctions imposed by the Disciplinary Council are meant to protect the public by dissuading professionals from repeating offences and by setting an example for other members of the profession.
