40.1. If at least four representatives of the City of Montréal or four representatives of the other municipalities vote against an affirmative decision of the committee, the decision has no effect until the next meeting of the committee.
The question must be put to the vote at that next meeting. If the decision is confirmed by the second vote but the opposition referred to in the first paragraph is maintained, the decision has no effect until the next meeting of the Council.
The question shall be decided by the Council at that next meeting. Unless two-thirds of the votes are negative, the decision of the committee is confirmed and takes effect. Such confirmation does not give the decision of the committee stronger effect than if it had not been the object of the opposition referred to in the first paragraph.
