Description[?]:
| Compensation for eminent domain, which is the government's power to take private property for public use, must be left in the hands of the government rather than the owner of the seized property. This is because the government has the responsibility to ensure that the public interest is protected, and the decision to take private property must be made based on careful consideration of the public's needs. Additionally, the government is better equipped to determine the fair market value of the property and ensure that the compensation provided is just and equitable. If compensation were left in the hands of the property owner, there would be a risk of corruption, favoritism, and abuse of power, which would undermine the legitimacy of the eminent domain process. Therefore, compensation must be determined by an impartial body that is accountable to the public and has the expertise to assess the value of the property in question. Haute Chancelier Noémie Ishikawa |
