142. The Minister or Deputy-Minister of the Environment, as the case may be, shall not, with respect to the work contemplated in section 140, exercise as regards any municipality the powers contemplated in sections 29, 32, 34, 35, 41 and 43 of the Environment Quality Act (chapter Q-2), before calling upon the executive committee of the Community to make the representations to him it considers appropriate.
When the Minister of the Environment exercises the powers provided for in section 35 of the Environment Quality Act, he shall order the execution of intermunicipal work by the municipalities that he designates, unless the executive committee of the Community informs the Minister that the Community consents to execute it. If the Community consents to execute the work, the Minister shall not then order its execution except by the Community; the Minister shall not establish the apportionment of the cost of the works and the cost of maintenance and operation thereof, determine the method of payment or fix the indemnity, periodic or otherwise, payable by the municipalities for the use of the works or for the services provided, before calling upon the executive committee of the Community to make its representations on this matter.
