564. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision, the council may amend a loan by-law by a resolution requiring no approval if the amendment does not change the object of the loan and(1) does not increase the burden on the ratepayers or
(2) increases the burden on the ratepayers by reason only of an increase in the rate of interest or the shortening of the term of repayment.
For the purposes of the first paragraph, the burden on the ratepayers is considered not to be increased where the additional cost arising from a change in the borrowing method is connected with the administrative expenses of the new borrowing method and nothing else.
The clerk shall send a copy of the resolution passed under this section to the Minister of Municipal Affairs, Regions and Land Occupancy.
