6.1 Revoked: O. Reg. 391/18, s. 5 (2).

3.  Calculate the sum of the electoral quotients for each of the two groups of municipalities.

4.  Add the number determined by the resolution of the board under subsection 4 (2) to the sum of the electoral quotients for the group of municipalities that are designated under clause 4 (1) (a).

5.  Subtract the number that was added under paragraph 4 to the sum of the electoral quotients for the group of municipalities designated under clause 4 (1) (a) from the sum of the electoral quotients for the group of the remaining municipalities.
