the company's proposed detailed route in 12 out of 17
cases heard in detailed route hearings for the Maritimes

1997. Once M&NP applied for approval of its detailed route in
its plans, profiles and books of reference, 37 written statements
of opposition from landowners were filed with the Board. Fifteen
landowner hearings and two mineral rights hearings were held
during July and August 1998.
