52. The Lieutenant-Governor may, on a resolution passed by any local corporation, for reasons deemed advantageous, change the name of such municipality.

The Lieutenant-Governor may moreover, upon the recommendation of the Commission de toponymie du Québec, correct the spelling of the name of such municipality.

Such change of name or correction of the spelling of a name does not affect the rights or responsibilities of the municipality or of any other person, and comes into force after publication in the Gazette officielle du Québec of a notice given by the Minister, and reciting the order-in-council ordering the alteration to the name of the municipality.

After adoption of such a resolution, public notice must be given that, at the expiration of 30 days following the date of publication of the notice, the corporation will transmit its application to the Lieutenant-Governor, and that those who have reasons to invoke against such application must, before the expiration of such 30 days, communicate them to the Minister of Municipal Affairs.
