48.22. After receiving a copy of the contract made by the municipality to organize a public transit service other than shared transportation by taxi, and despite section 40, the Commission shall amend or, if necessary, revoke any bus transport permit of the class determined by the regulations under section 48.20 authorizing its holder to operate, in the territory of the municipality, a service that would compete with the service provided under the contract. The permit may be amended or revoked only to the extent necessary to eliminate competing services.
This section applies even when the permit holder is a party to the contract. It does not apply when the municipality organizes a public transit service for the first time and the contract is for a period of less than six months.
Before amending or revoking a permit under the first paragraph, the Commission must notify the permit holder in writing as prescribed by section 5 of the Act respecting administrative justice (chapter J-3) and allow the permit holder at least 10 days to submit observations.
