64.3. Where the territory of a municipality to which the obligation provided in section 64 applies is not under the jurisdiction of a police force, the Sûreté du Québec shall be entrusted in accordance with section 39 with maintaining peace, order and public safety, preventing crime and offences under the laws of Québec and seeking out offenders. The Police Force is required, in that case, to provide police services in accordance with Schedule C.
The municipality must, in this case, pay to the Government, in accordance with the regulation made under paragraph 10 of section 6.1, the amount established pursuant to the said regulation.
This section ceases to apply in respect of the municipality on the date from which it is served by a police force in accordance with an agreement under section 73 or 73.1 or from the date on which it establishes its own police force.

The Minister of Public Security may, with the consent of the municipality referred to in the first paragraph, confer the responsibility to act in its territory on the police force of another municipality which accepts such responsibility. In such case, the municipalities may enter into an agreement, a copy of which must be sent to the Minister, regarding the amount payable by the former to the latter; failing such an agreement, the person in charge of collecting the amount referred to in the second paragraph shall pay an equivalent compensation to the latter municipality.

The Police Force shall then act at the expense of the municipality. This expense shall be computed by the Director General according to the tariff established each year by the Government, and a claim for payment shall be presented to the municipality.
Such a claim is homologated, on the motion of the Minister of Public Security, by the Court of Québec or the Superior Court of the judicial district in which the municipality is situated, according to their respective jurisdictions, and thereupon it becomes executory as any judgment of that court.
