                                                            REASONS FOR ORDER

NADON J.A.

[1]                 Before us is a motion by the applicant, Canadian National Railway Company, for an order granting leave to appeal decision 517-R-2003 of the Canadian Transportation Agency, dated September 10, 2003.


[2]                 After reviewing the affidavit evidence of Judy Jones and Leonard Ng, and the written submissions put forward by the applicant and the respondents, I am satisfied that the matter raises a question of law which is fairly arguable (See Canadian Pacific Railway v. Canada (Transportation Agency), 2003 FCA 271, per Rothstein J.A. at 5).

[3]                 Consequently, the applicant's motion for leave to appeal decision 517-R-2003 of the Canadian Transportation Agency, dated September 10, 2003, should be granted.

                                                                                                                                                    "M. Nadon"
