12.3. Notwithstanding section 40 of the Transport Act (chapter T-12), the Commission des transports du Québec, following the receipt of a copy of the contract made by the board to organize a public transport service other than a shared transportation service by taxi, shall amend or, if necessary, revoke any bus transport permit of the class determined by the regulations under section 12.1 authorizing its holder to operate, in the territory of the board, a service that would compete with the service provided under the contract. The permit shall be amended or revoked only to the extent that such amendment or revocation is necessary to eliminate competing services.
This section applies even where the holder of the permit is a party to the contract. It does not apply where the board organizes a public transport service for the first time and the contract is made for a period of less than six months.
