122. Subject to the provisions of this Act, the municipalities in the territory of the Community shall retain their competence in the fields listed in section 121 and in all or part of a field declared to be within the competence of the Community under section 121.1.1, until the Community exercises its competence respecting such fields and to such extent as the Community has refrained from doing so.
Every provision of a by-law of a municipality in the territory contrary to or inconsistent with any provision of a by-law of the Community respecting any field referred to in the first paragraph shall immediately cease to have effect.
The Community, by by-law, may repeal any provision of a by-law of a municipality in its territory respecting the fields listed in section 121 and all or part of a field declared to be within the competence of the Community under section 121.1.1 which the Community considers inconsistent with the provisions of any by-law of the Community. A copy of such a by-law shall be sent by the secretary of the Community to the clerk of the municipality as soon as such by-law of the Community comes into force, and the clerk of such municipality shall report on the receipt of such by-law to the council of the municipality at its next sitting and enter a true copy of the by-law of the Community in the book of the by-laws of the municipality.
