56. Division I of Chapter XVIII of the Companies Act (chapter C-38) applies from 17 December 1993 to all railway companies with share capital constituted by an Act.

If any company referred to in the first paragraph has not obtained such a certificate of continuance by 1 July 1994, the company shall be governed by Part I of the said Act and the Act under which it was incorporated shall cease to have effect on 1 July 1994, except for the provisions relating to the head office, the board of directors, the purposes and the share capital.
