154. The Minister shall, upon a request by either municipality, appoint a conciliator for the purposes of the apportionment of the assets and liabilities relating to the territory of the municipality affected by the annexation. The Minister may grant them a time for the making of such a request; upon a request by either municipality, the Minister may grant an extension.
The first paragraph does not apply if the annexation by-law contains the apportionment and if the by-law has been approved by the municipality whose territory is affected by the annexation; the first paragraph does not apply as soon as the Minister receives a copy of an apportionment agreement entered into between the municipalities.
