The mandate of users' committees is to safeguard the rights of users. These committees must ensure that users are treated with respect and dignity, and that their rights and freedoms are recognized. They act as an important spokesperson with an institution's authorities.
In addition to local users' committees, a Users' Committee for the Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux de la Côte-Nord was created. It is composed of at least six members elected among presidents of local users' committees and of five representatives of residents' committees.
