120. The Community may organize and furnish all the services it deems expedient for the exploitation of its industrial immoveables and it may carry out thereon all the work which it deems necessary for such purpose.
It has jurisdiction to exercise within its industrial parks the prerogatives of the Police Act (chapter P-13) in order to ensure order and the protection of persons and property. It may also, to the exclusion of the municipalities of its territory as soon as it avails itself of such right, exercise within its industrial parks the power to make by-laws provided for in the Cities and Towns Act (chapter C-19).
Such power may however be exercised only where a municipality in which such an industrial park is situated has no by-law or refuses to amend its by-laws in accordance with the request of the Community.
After consultation with the municipality in which the industrial park is situated, which has priority over any other to furnish services to the industrial parks of the Community, provided it meets the standards required by the Community, it may enter into agreements with the municipalities of its territory to ensure through them the provision of essential services within its industrial parks; it may then execute them and exercise the rights and privileges and fulfil the obligations arising therefrom; such municipality shall then acquire the same jurisdiction as it has in its own territory to furnish such services. Such agreements are subject to the approval of the Commission municipale du Québec.
This section shall apply notwithstanding sections 132 to 137.
