204.1.2. The council may establish a qualification process which shall not discriminate on the basis of the province or country of origin of the goods, services, insurers, suppliers or contractors.
However, where the council establishes a qualification process solely for the purpose of awarding a contract referred to in the third paragraph of subsection 1 of section 204, the process may discriminate as permitted in the case of a public call for tenders in relation to such a contract under subsection 2.1 of section 204.
The municipality shall invite the interested parties to obtain their qualification or the qualification of their goods or services, by causing the secretary-treasurer to publish a notice to that effect in accordance with the rules set out in the third paragraph of subsection 1 of section 204.
