68. A general program established under the first paragraph of section 62 is implemented on the decision of the minister responsible for its application or a minister authorized to implement it under section 57. The decision specifies the risk or event for which the program is implemented, the period covered and the territory concerned.
A specific program established under the second paragraph of section 62 is implemented on the date of its publication in the Gazette officielle du Québec or on any later date specified in the program. When establishing such a program, the Government specifies the risk or event for which the program is implemented, the period covered and the territory concerned.
The minister responsible for the application of a program may extend the territory concerned or the period covered or, if the period covered has not expired, shorten it, but in the latter case the expiry date must not be earlier than the date of publication of the decision shortening the period.
Any decision made under the first or third paragraph must be published in the Gazette officielle du Québec and disseminated by the most efficient means available to ensure that the persons concerned are rapidly informed.
