7. The municipalities party to the agreement may apply to the Government, by resolution of each of them setting out the reasons for the application, to bring into the agreement(1) a municipality not listed in Schedule I, where the number of persons residing in the territory of that municipality who are likely to use the proposed public transport service is such that it would be equitable to include the municipality in the agreement;
(2) a municipality that refuses to be party to an agreement where its refusal puts the setting up of the public transport service in jeopardy or renders it too onerous.
The municipalities shall transmit the resolutions within 15 days of passage to the municipality they wish brought into the agreement. The latter municipality, within 30 days after receiving the resolution of the municipalities, may apply to the Government, by a resolution setting out the reasons for the application, not to be brought into the agreement. It shall then transmit the resolution within 15 days of passage to the municipalities party to the agreement.
In the cases contemplated in this section, in addition to the documents required in section 6, the agreement must be accompanied, when it is transmitted to the Government, with proof that the resolutions have been sent.
