First, they have to declare that the line has been abandoned. There will be a similar case in Quebec, between Marieville and Saint-Hubert, where the railway has officially declared the line abandoned. At that point, the company looks at all the local lines. If no one wants it, it offers it to the Government of Quebec. If the government doesn't want it, it offers it to the municipalities. But we aren't included. I think we're ranked after the government, in second.
