137.5. The Commission shall give its assessment within 60 days of receiving a copy of the resolution requesting the assessment.
Any assessment stating that the by-law is not in conformity with the objectives of the RCM plan and the provisions of the complementary document may include the suggestions of the Commission on ways to ensure conformity.
The secretary of the Commission shall transmit a copy of the assessment to the municipality and the regional county municipality.
If the assessment indicates that the by-law is in conformity with the objectives of the RCM plan and the provisions of the complementary document, the secretary of the regional county municipality shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of the copy of the assessment, issue a certificate of conformity in respect of the by-law and transmit a certified copy thereof to the municipality. However, where the by-law must also be approved by qualified voters and such approval has not been given when the secretary receives a copy of the assessment of the Commission, the documents which must be issued or transmitted under this paragraph shall be issued or transmitted as soon as practicable after the regional county municipality receives the notice provided for in the third paragraph of section 137.2. However, no certificate of conformity may be issued in respect of a replacement by-law referred to in section 110.10.1 as long as a certificate of conformity has not been issued in respect of the by-law revising the planning program.
In the case of a replacement by-law referred to in section 110.10.1, a new by-law may be adopted within 90 days after receipt of the assessment stating that the by-law is not in conformity with the objectives of the RCM plan and the provisions of the complementary document, despite the expiry of the period prescribed in that section.
