Act respecting certain public utility installations

1. In this Act, the expression “public utility installation” means any pole, tower, overhead or underground conduit, any other supporting or sustaining structure, and any trench, together with accessories, susceptible of use for the supply or distribution of electrical, telephone, telegraph, cable delivery or signalling service or any other similar service.

1975, c. 31, s. 1.

2. For the purposes referred to in section 1, the Régie de l’énergie may, on such conditions as it may determine, order the sharing of the utilization of a public utility installation whether it belongs to a governmental agency, an agent of the Crown, a public body or any other person.
