LCCJTI
What Quebec's law on digital documents requires of a municipality, with the matching Gestioo tool.
Summary
Since 2001, Quebec's Act to establish a legal framework for information technology (LCCJTI) has set the legal value of digital documents. Here are its key notions for a municipal clerk's office, each with the matching Gestioo tool.
The law puts digital and paper documents on an equal footing. What matters is not the medium: it is the document's integrity, from the first day to the last.
Under the law, integrity is ensured when you can verify that the information has not been altered, that it is complete and that its medium is stable.
For a scanned version to replace the paper original, the law requires the transfer to be documented. That documentation shows the information was not altered along the way.
The law accepts any signing process that establishes the link between the person and the document, and that shows their consent.
Integrity must also hold when the document is viewed or sent, not only while it sits in the archives.
The life cycle the law covers runs through archiving and destruction: those stages call for the same rigour as the first ones.
Access control, electronic evidence and document preservation brought together for municipal workflows, framework by framework.
ModuleGestioo's digital signature organizes a document's passage between several signers and records what happened at each step.
ModuleGestioo's document vault bets on immutability: a sealed PDF is kept exactly as is, safe from silent changes.
ModuleGestioo's minutes module follows a council meeting step by step: preparation, adoption, signatures, sealing, then preservation of the final record.
