TL;DR
The Quebec government is reducing Montreal's influence within the Montreal Metropolitan Community (CMM) by altering the voting procedures. These changes lower Montreal's voting weight from 55% to 50%, allowing for a more balanced distribution of power among the surrounding municipalities within the community. This decision has caused concern among Montreal city officials, who feel it diminishes their ability to guide regional policies effectively. The government argues the adjustment will offer fairer representation for all areas involved. The modifications are part of broader changes to CMM's structure and governance.
