18. The Société and the city may make an agreement respecting the application of municipal by-laws, the exercise of municipal powers and the supplying of municipal services in any part of the territory; such an agreement shall also apply to any part of the territory which the Société transfers by emphyteutic lease, or of which it obtains possession or ownership, from the time of such operation.

Such an agreement, to be valid, must be submitted to the Québec Minister and approved by the Minister of Municipal Affairs or the Minister of Education, as the case may be.
If the Société and the city or a school board cannot agree on the terms of such an agreement, the Minister of Municipal Affairs or the Minister of Education, as the case may be, upon application by the Société but after having heard the city, or the school board concerned, as the case may be, may decide any matter which could have been covered by such an agreement, and the decision of the Minister shall be binding for such time as it indicates.
Any such agreement and any such decision of the Minister concerned shall be published in the Gazette officielle du Québec.
1976, c. 32, s. 19.
20. No by-law or resolution adopted by the city prescribing the imposition of a real estate tax, business tax or tax classified as a real estate tax, and no resolution of a school board whose territory is wholly or partly situated within the city limits, prescribing the imposition of a real estate tax, shall come into force or become binding until approved by the Minister of Municipal Affairs or the Minister of Education, as the case may be, to the extent that such by-law or resolution affects the territory.
