Résumé

This Act provides for the expropriation and taking for use of land and other property (movable or immovable), by the Minister of Public Works or by certain local authorities, for public and certain other purposes. Notice of expropriation to owners as well as offers of compensation must be made. If owners do not claim specific amounts of compensation, the Minister will make an offer for compensation (sects. 9-11). The criteria for determining compensation are contained in section 12. Compensation shall be determined by the Supreme Court or by arbitration in case of non-agreement between owners and expropriators (sect. 14). The Minister may withdraw an expropriation if it is in the "public interest or otherwise expedient" to do so (sect. 23).
