Without excluding the more specific powers granted for that purpose by other Acts under the Minister’s responsibility, the Minister may, by agreement approved by the Government, delegate the management of a program the Minister has prepared under this Act or another Act under the Minister’s responsibility to a municipality, another legal person, an Aboriginal community or any other body.
The management delegation agreement must include
(1) the powers delegated and the delegatee’s obligations;
(2) the objectives and targets to be achieved, including effectiveness and efficiency objectives and targets, and the information to be provided;
(3) the rules relating to the contracts the delegatee may award;
(4) the reports required on the achievement of the objectives and targets set;
(5) the manner in which the Minister is to oversee the delegatee’s management and intervene if the objectives and targets are not achieved or seem likely not to be achieved;

(7) if the delegatee is a regional county municipality, the delegated powers that may be subdelegated to a local municipality whose territory is included in that of the regional county municipality, as well as the terms governing the subdelegation.
The exercise of powers by a delegatee or a subdelegatee under such an agreement is not binding on the State.
The Minister shall make the agreement public.
