Abstract

The present Act lays down provisions relating to the exportation of electric power. In particular, article 1 establishes that every lease, sale or grant of water powers which belong to Québec or in which it has rights of ownership or other rights shall contain a clause prohibiting the exportation of electric power from Québec. Moreover, every contract, permit or grant authorizing the installation or passage of transmission lines in or over the domain of the State shall likewise contain a clause prohibiting the exportation of electric power from Québec. Article 4 rules that every violation of the provisions of this Act shall render null, at the request of the Attorney General, any sale, grant or contract or any lease or permit made or granted by Québec. The Minister of Natural Resources, Wildlife and Parks is responsible for the administration of this Act.
