Full text
197. If the vote by the council members results in a tie, a warden elected in accordance with section 210.26 or 210.26.1 of the Act respecting municipal territorial organization (chapter O-9) has a casting vote in addition to any other vote to which the warden is entitled as the representative of a municipality, unless the warden is the mayor of a municipality whose representatives are not qualified to vote on the matter in question.
A warden elected in accordance with section 210.29.2 of that Act may exercise the casting vote on the matter in question if the other council members were not able under section 201 to reach an affirmative or a negative decision on the matter. If the warden does not exercise this right, the council is deemed to have made a negative decision on the matter.

Where the warden does not exercise the casting vote under the second paragraph, the council is deemed to have made a negative decision in respect of the question.
