251. Each municipal corporation constituted under section 16 shall be represented on the council of the Regional Government by a regional councillor elected or appointed in accordance with Part I of this act.
Until constituted as a municipal corporation under section 16, the inhabitants of each part of the territory contemplated in section 12 of the Agreement shall be represented to the council of the Regional Government by a delegate appointed by the Minister, after consultation with the interested persons. For the purposes of this Part, such delegate shall be deemed to be the regional councillor. He may be replaced at any time in the same manner. His term of office shall be one year, but may be renewed in the same manner, for one additional year each time. In all cases, his term shall expire when the inhabitants of the part of the territory which he represents are constituted as a municipal corporation under section 16 and the regional councillor thereof takes the oath of office.
Any other municipal corporation in the territory shall be represented on the council of the Regional Government by a regional councillor appointed by and among the members of the council of such municipal corporation; such appointment shall be made by mere resolution.
However, the mayor of the corporation of the Naskapi Village of Schefferville established by the Cree Villages and the Naskapi Village Act (chapter V-5.1) is exofficio the regional councillor representing that corporation.
The appointment contemplated in the third paragraph shall take place at the first sitting of the council of the municipal corporation after the general elections; in the case of the first council of the Regional Government, such appointment shall take place before the date contemplated in the second paragraph of section 262.
