Subsection 5: Information.

Every member of the territorial council has the right, within the scope of his or her office, to be informed of the affairs of the local authority that are the subject of deliberation.

The Territorial Council shall ensure the dissemination of information to its elected members by the material means it deems most appropriate. In order to enable the exchange of information on matters within its remit, the Territorial Council may, under the conditions defined by its deliberative assembly, make available to its elected members, on an individual basis, the necessary computer and telecommunications resources.

Twelve days before the meeting of the Territorial Council, the President shall send the Territorial Councillors a report, in whatever form, on each item of business to be submitted to them.

Territorial councillors have the right to present oral questions relating to the affairs of the local authority at meetings of the territorial council. The rules of procedure shall determine the frequency of such questions and the conditions under which they are presented and examined.

Each year, the President reports to the Territorial Council, in a special report, on the situation of the local authority, the activity and financing of the various departments of the local authority and the bodies that depend on it. The report also specifies the state of implementation of the deliberations of the Territorial Council and the financial situation of the local authority. This special report gives rise to a debate.
