73.1. In an exceptional case and where the Minister considers it warranted in the public interest, the Minister may authorize the application of a measure that departs from a standard established by this Act or the regulations other than a standard established under any of paragraphs 13, 13.1, 14, 15 and 18 to 24 of section 73.
However, before the Minister may authorize the application of a measure that departs from a standard established under paragraph 2, 5, 6, 6.1, 10.2, 16.1 or 17 of section 73, the applicant or the permit holder must prove to the Minister that the proposed measure is appropriate and would, to the same degree, protect the health, ensure the safety and foster the development and well-being of the children.
