1. The Government, on such conditions as it determines, may authorize the signing of agreements with the Government of Canada to transform any programs in which the Government of Canada now participates into programs wholly administered and financed by Québec and to replace the financial contribution by a tax abatement with readjustment by payment or set-off.
This section shall have effect notwithstanding any Act authorizing the signing of agreements for the payment of contributions by the Government of Canada to Québec and any provision to that effect in such Act shall be deemed to authorize an agreement for a tax abatement with readjustment instead of for a financial contribution.
The agreements contemplated in this section may have effect from 1 January 1965.
