Section 1.6
Disposition versions
1.6. If the population of a municipality decreases to less than 1 000, the Minister of Municipal Affairs may, at the request of the municipality, order that Chapters II and III cease to apply to it, that it cease to be divided into electoral districts or wards and that its council be composed of a mayor and six councillors.
The order must be published in the Gazette officielle du Québec and comes into force on the day of its publication or on the later date fixed therein. It must also be published in a newspaper circulated in the municipality.
The order has effect for the purposes of every election from the first general election held after its coming into force.
The order ceases to have effect for the purposes of every election from the first general election to which Chapters II and III again become applicable pursuant to section 1.3 or 1.4. The Minister of Municipal Affairs shall publish, in the Gazette officielle du Québec and in a newspaper circulated in the municipality, a notice that the order ceases to have effect.
