(3) Where the approval or disapproval by the Provincial Minister of a fundamental decision referred to in paragraph 139(4)(a) would unreasonably delay the attainment of self-sufficiency or security of supply, the Federal Minister may substitute therefor the approval or disapproval, as the case may be, of the Federal Minister, and where the Federal Minister does so, that Minister shall, for the purposes of this Act, be considered to have authority in relation to that fundamental decision.
(3) Le ministre fédéral peut cependant substituer son approbation ou sa désapprobation à celle du ministre provincial à l’égard de cette décision s’il estime qu’elle pourrait indûment retarder la réalisation de la sécurité des approvisionnements ou de l’autosuffisance.
