46. Whenever, for the benefit of certain lands, it is necessary to make or to maintain a watercourse into which also run the waters of a road which the Minister of Transport maintains, and the General Superintendent of Maintenance and Repair of Roads cannot come to an agreement with the persons interested in such watercourse, the Expropriation Division of the Court of Québec may, upon the application of the Minister of Transport, of a municipal corporation or of any person interested in such watercourse, determine in what manner the work shall be done and by whom the cost shall be borne.
The Division may, in such case, allow the summoning of the parties interested in the watercourse to be made collectively by means of a notice in French and in English posted up in two public places of the locality where the watercourse is situated.
