Notwithstanding any provision prohibiting the exportation, outside of Canada, of electric power, contained, under section 1 of this act, in a sale, lease or grant respecting water-powers belonging to Québec or in which it has rights of ownership or other rights, the Government may, for the period or periods of time that it may fix and on such terms and conditions as it may determine, suspend the effect of such prohibition; provided, however, that the quantity of electric power the exportation whereof may be thus authorized shall not exceed in all two hundred and twenty-five thousand kilowatts, and provided also that the sale price of the electric power so exported be not below that for which it is sold in Québec.
