13. The Minister has authority over the lands included in the waters in the domain of the State which, under any Act, order in council, title of ownership, order or notice, are not under the responsibility of another minister or a public body, in particular over those lands referred to in section 2 of the Watercourses Act (chapter R-13) and over those acquired by the Streams Commission, abolished in 1955. The Minister holds the rights and powers inherent in the right of ownership in respect of those lands.
The Minister holds the same rights and powers in respect of other lands in the domain of State over which he has authority under any Act, order in council, title of ownership, order or notice, excluding the power to alienate the lands.
In all cases, the Minister exercises his rights and powers in a manner consistent with the use of the lands concerned.
