2nd count: During an investigation conducted by the assistant syndic, concerning an immovable, falsely declared:

b) on or about March 10, 2014, that he had gone through the declaration by the seller of the immovable “item-by-item” with the promising buyers and that they had even reminded him two or three times because they had questions in this regard;
Thus committing, on each of these occasions, an offence under section 106 of the Regulation respecting brokerage requirements, professional conduct of brokers and advertising.
On January 8, 2015, the Discipline Committee ordered the suspension of Raymond-Noël Vaillancourt’s real estate broker’s licence (Licence No. C9860) for a period of thirty (30) days on each of counts No. 1a) and 1b) of the complaint, to be served concurrently with each other, and for a period of sixty (60) days on each of counts No. 2a) and 2b), to be served concurrently with each other, but consecutively with the suspension periods ordered on counts No. 1a) and 1b), for a total period ninety (90) days.
Given that Raymond-Noël Vaillancourt is no longer a licence holder, his licence will be suspended for a period of 90 days whenever he 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).
