253. Sections 113, 115, 116, 119 and 120 of this act shall apply mutatismutandis to the Commission.

In addition to the general powers contemplated by this title, the Commission may exercise the following special powers:

(a)  with the approval of the Commission des transports du Québec, to make any agreement deemed useful with any transport undertaking for passengers or any other undertaking engaged in related or similar activities;

(b)  to lease, on its property, space for any business which it may determine and regulate the use of showcases and display windows in such establishments, and lease advertising space on its property and in its vehicles;

(c)  to acquire, possess and operate by itself any business at the places described in paragraph b;

(d)  to make by-laws respecting the transport of passengers in its vehicles and the conduct of passengers on its property in such a way as to ensure comfort and safety to the public; these by-laws must be approved by the Council of the Community;

(e)  to establish, possess and operate a service for the public transport of passengers between any point within its territory and the new international airport contemplated in chapter 48 of the statutes of 1970;

(f)  with the previous authorization of the Minister of Transport, but without any other permission or special formality, to alienate any part, situated outside the territory of a municipality mentioned in Schedule B, of a public transport undertaking it has acquired and the permits relating thereto, if any;

(g)  to provide, within the limits of its territory, a special transportation system for handicapped persons who are unable to use the regular public transportation system and for that purpose:

i.  directly possess, organize, develop and administer such system or enter, on the conditions approved by the Minister of Transport, into any agreement necessary or useful for the provision of such a system by any other undertaking of public transportation;

ii.  grant, with the approval of the Minister of Transport, on such conditions as he may determine or approve, subsidies to any non-profit organization which operates such a system within the limits of its territory.

Any decision of the Commission likely to entail an expenditure not specifically provided for in the budget shall have no effect until approved by the executive committee, and the chairman and general manager shall be entrusted with ensuring communication between the Commission and the executive committee. Nevertheless, the executive committee, by by-law, may authorize the Commission to incur other expenditures on the conditions and for the amounts it determines.

However the Commission must consult the Commission de transport de la ville de Laval as regards routes, stops and other conditions which might affect the said service in the territory of the City of Laval.

If there is no agreement, the Commission des transports du Québec shall decide any dispute which may arise between the Commission and the Commission de transport de la ville de Laval.
