Whereas the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act provides the Superintendent of Bankruptcy with the general power to supervise the administration of all estates and matters to which the Act applies;

Whereas the Superintendent of Bankruptcy may, for the protection of an asset, exercise the powers set out in subsection 14.03(1) of the Act, under the circumstances referred to in subsection 14.03(2) of the Act;

Whereas the debtor, Michel Côté, filed an assignment on January 31, 1989 with corporate trustee Grégoire Bellavance & Associés Ltée;

Whereas among the debtor’s assets was a property known and designated as lot 417-51 in the Charlesbourg land registry;

Whereas given the lack of equity, said corporate trustee was not able to realize the abovementioned property;

Whereas the trustee, Grégoire Bellavance & Associés Ltée, was discharged from the administration of this estate on December 5, 1991, without previously registering notice of quit claim of its rights in this property;

Whereas in order to legalize ownership, a notice should be filed divesting any rights trustee Grégoire Bellavance et Associés Ltée might claim to hold against this property;

Whereas it is not necessary to appoint a trustee for the sole purpose of registering said notice pursuant to the provisions of section 20 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act;

Whereas the Superintendent of Bankruptcy has delegated to me, in accordance with subsection 14.01(2) of the Act, the powers of the Superintendent as specified at subsection 14.03 (1) of the Act, in circumstances referred to in subsection 14.03(2), copies of which delegation are attached, along with copies of subsections 14.01(2) and 14.03(1) to (4) of the Act;

Whereas subsections 14.03(1)a) and b) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act apply ;

I, Alain Lafontaine, in my capacity of Deputy Superintendent, Programs, Standards and Regulatory Affairs, mandate Sylvie Laperrière in order to sign a quit claim of rights, titles and interests that could be claimed by Grégoire Bellavance & Associés Ltée against a property formerly designated as lot 417-51 in the Charlesbourg land registry and now known and designated as renovated lot 1045259 in the Quebec City land registry.

In accordance with subsection 14.03(3) of the Act, these directions bind their addressees, who must comply with them;
