    fire commissioner may, in accordance with this section, assess a penalty against

    an administrative penalty.

      (c) if the minister is of the opinion that a part of the bylaw does not conform
      with the intent of this Act and the regulations but that a part of the bylaw
      does conform with the intent of this Act and the regulations and is severable
      from the part of the bylaw that does not conform with the intent of this Act
      and the regulations, the minister shall:
           (i) approve the bylaw in part; or
           (ii) approve the bylaw on the condition that the local authority make
           amendments to it that meet the minister’s directions.

approved parts of the bylaw:
      (a) come into force on the date of approval; and
      (b) on coming into force, govern and apply to all land or premises within the
      boundaries of that local authority.

      approval, and subsections (1) to (3) apply, with any necessary modification, to
      the amended bylaw.
(5) If the minister does not issue an approval, an approval in part or a conditional
approval of a bylaw, the bylaw is void.
(6) As soon as is practicable after making a decision pursuant to this section,
the minister shall provide written notice to the local authority of the decision and
reasons for the decision.

matter as a regulation passed pursuant to this Act, that bylaw prevails within the
boundaries of the local authority in the case of any conflict with the regulation.
(8) If the minister approves a bylaw pursuant to this section, the bylaw prevails
in the case of any conflict with the National Fire Code.
(9) A certificate purporting to be issued by the clerk or administrator of a local
authority is admissible in evidence as proof, in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, that a bylaw has been passed by the local authority and approved by
the minister on the days specified in the certificate, without proof of the office or
signature of the person purporting to have signed the certificate, if the certificate:
      (a) identifies the bylaw;
      (b) states that the bylaw has been passed by the council and approved by
      the minister; and
      (c) specifies the date of passage and the date of the minister’s approval.
