11. Each electoral district must be delimited in such a manner that the population of that district equals, within 15%, the quotient obtained by dividing the total population of the municipality by the number of districts.
For the application of the first paragraph, the total population of the municipality is established on the basis of the census of the population of Canada carried out in 1976 by Statistics Canada in accordance with the Statistics Act (Statutes of Canada, 1970-71-72, chapter 15).
A by-law delimiting a district where the population is more than 15% above or below the quotient determined under the first paragraph cannot come into force unless approved by the Commission.
