The Minister may withhold or cancel part or all of a subsidy to a school service centre or the Comité de gestion de la taxe scolaire de l’île de Montréal if they fail to comply with governing provisions, or if a school service centre does not take available steps to stop conduct that could threaten students’ physical or psychological safety.

The same applies if a school service centre does not use the means at its disposal to put an end to behaviour that could reasonably pose a threat for the students’ physical or psychological safety.
