This Act concerns the expropriation of land, which includes “any estate, term, easement, right or interest in, to, over or affecting land” (sec.1). Under section 2, the Minister has the power to expropriate any land he or she deems necessary for public purposes. The Act provides for compensation for disturbance, injurious affection of land or expropriation to be assessed and paid. Section 13 provides for the establishment of a Board of negotiation to solve disputes related to expropriation.
