For the purposes of the first paragraph, a person concerned is any person who would be a qualified voter entitled to have his name entered on the referendum list of the territory proposed for annexation if the reference date, within the meaning of the Act respecting elections and referendums in municipalities (chapter E-2.2), were the date on which the council of the municipality which includes the proposed territory disapproves the by-law or the date on which the prescribed time to disapprove it expires, as the case may be.
