I understand that you want to know whether the act contains this type of measure in Quebec. The Code of Ethics and Conduct of the Members of the National Assembly of Quebec applies to both members and ministers. The code I apply isn't a code of internal economy, but rather an act that applies to all elected officials. It allows me to recommend sanctions for a breach of the code. These sanctions are set out in the code and range from reprimand to loss of status as a member of the executive council, if applicable. So I have the option of recommending a sanction, including reimbursement penalties. There are several levels, and eight sanctions can be imposed.
Obviously, it's just a power to make recommendations. It would then be up to the House to decide whether sanctions apply. In the case of ministers, as in the case of members of the legislative assembly, I could recommend a sanction that is obviously proportional to the seriousness of the breach. In fact, there is a whole logic behind the appropriateness of such a sanction and a full analysis must be done on whether or not to recommend it. Finally, if a sanction is recommended, it is necessary to know which one to choose.
