Notice to give information
194-5 Notice to give information
The Minister may give a written notice to a person who is or who has been an *officer, employee or agent of:
a private health insurer; or
an entity that was a private health insurer at any time in the year ending on the day on which the notice is given;
requiring the person to give the Minister or the person specified in the notice, within the period specified in the notice, information about the area of the insurer’s operations specified in the notice.
The Minister may require the person to give the information orally or in writing.
The Minister may require the person to give the information on oath or affirmation. For that purpose, the Minister or the person specified in the notice may administer an oath or affirmation.
The person is not excused from giving information on the ground that giving the information might tend to incriminate the person or make the person liable to a penalty. However, the information, or anything obtained as a direct or indirect consequence of the information, is not admissible in evidence against the person in any proceedings, other than proceedings for an offence against section 137.1 or 137.2 of the Criminal Code.
