24.1. On the application of the holder of several certificates of authorization issued under section 22 relating to the same works or establishment, the same activity or the same work, the Minister may, on the conditions the Minister determines, combine the certificates of authorization into a single certificate, referred to as an “administrative certificate”.
When issuing an administrative certificate, the Minister may not make any modification to the conditions set out in the certificates of authorization so combined that would have the effect of either reducing the protection of the environment ensured by those conditions or subjecting the holder to new obligations.
