490.Every local corporation may make, amend or repeal by-laws:
(1) to secure the peace, order, good government, general welfare and improvement of the municipality, provided such by-laws are not contrary to the laws of Canada, or of Québec, nor inconsistent with any special provision of this Code;
(2) to amend, replace or repeal, in whole or in part, all ordinances or by-laws made by the corporation previously governing the territory comprised within the municipality, and which have been continued in force within such territory.
No local corporation may make by-laws on the matters contemplated in the Agricultural Products, Marine Products and Food Act (chapter P-29) or in the Dairy Products and Dairy Products Substitutes Act (chapter P-30). This paragraph applies notwithstanding any provision of a special Act granting powers to a local corporation on those matters.
