The Canadian National Railway Company has no objection to the change in road authority.

Pursuant to section 2 of the Act Respecting Roads, R.S.Q., 1993, c. V-9, the Government of Québec shall determine by way of an Order published in the Gazette officielle du Québec, the roads which shall be under the management of the Minister of Transport. Any other road which is not under the responsibility of the Government of Québec or a government department or agency shall be managed in accordance with subdivision 22.2 of Division XI of the Cities and Towns Act, R.S.Q., 1993, c. C-19, or as the case may be, chapter 0.1 Title XIX of the Municipal Code of Québec, c. C-27.1.

The applicant has submitted a copy of Order-in-Council 292-93 dated March 3, 1993 which was published in the Gazette officielle du Québec on March 17, 1993, identifying the roads which are under the management of the Minister of Transport. The applicant also submitted a list of road crossings affected by the Order-in-Council and which fall under the management of the municipalities as of April 1, 1993.

The Agency is of the opinion that as a result of the Order-in-Council, chemin Cendrée Lafeuille, in the province of Quebec, is now under the management of the Village de L'Islet-sur-Mer.

The Agency has reviewed the submissions filed and has found, pursuant to section 32 of the CTA, that there has been a change in the facts or circumstances pertaining to Order No. R-4624 since it was issued and that this Order should be varied.

Accordingly, pursuant to section 32 of the CTA, Order No. R-4624 dated February 10, 1969 is hereby varied by replacing, in clause 7, "Applicant" with "Village de L'Islet-sur-Mer".
