LCCJTI (Law on the legal framework for information technologies)

The LCCJTI is the Quebec law (R.S.Q., chapter C-1.1) establishing the legal framework for signature and electronic documents in Quebec. It explicitly recognizes electronic signature as equivalent to handwritten signature provided that the signatory''s identity is established reliably and the link between the signature and the document is ensured (section 39). The LCCJTI is complementary to the eIDAS regulation (applicable in Europe) and PIPEDA (applicable to personal information outside Quebec). It is the legal foundation for Certyneo signatures on Quebec contracts. Law 25 (2022) modernizes the accompanying personal information protection regime.
