12. Ville de Québec and the Société de transport de Québec must enter into an agreement for the transfer of the transportation assets of Ville de Québec resulting from the Network project, including, in particular, the tramway cars, buses, tracks, platforms, stations, workshops, garages, parking lots and tunnels.
An agreement entered into under the first paragraph must be approved by the Minister, who may approve it with or without amendment.
The Minister may determine the deadline for entering into an agreement. If no agreement providing for the transfer of the assets has been entered into by that deadline, the assets are transferred on the conditions and the date or dates determined by the Minister. In such a case, Ville de Québec must prepare all documents required for the transfer ahead of time. The documents must include the value of the transportation assets and the conditions for their transfer. The documents must be sent to the Minister for approval, who may approve them with or without amendment.
The registrar of the registration division concerned must register every statement signed by the director general and the secretary of the Société describing the property transferred under this section and declaring the right of ownership of the Société in the property.
The Minister may, by order, exempt certain transportation assets referred to in the first paragraph from the transfer obligation, or make other transportation assets of Ville de Québec that are related to them subject to the obligation.
For the purposes of the first paragraph, public highways and private roads open to public vehicular traffic within the meaning of the Highway Safety Code (chapter C-24.2) are not transportation assets.
