1133. The Government may, on the petition of a municipality contemplated by this Title, exempt it by letters patent from the application of one or more provisions of this Title. The amendments made by such letters patent have the same effect as if they had been made by an Act.
The petition cannot be submitted to the Government unless a notice briefly summarizing its object has been published at least one month in advance in the Gazette officielle du Québec; within the same time, a public notice must be given in conformity with articles 431 to 433.
The Minister of Municipal Affairs, Regions and Land Occupancy shall have such letters patent published in the Gazette officielle du Québec with a notice giving the date of their coming into force. The Québec Official Publisher shall insert in each annual volume of the Statutes of Québec a table giving the date of the coming into force of the letters patent granted before such volume is printed and the legislative provisions they repeal.
