Although Sarah owns a fee simple estate, the government has the right to expropriate private property for public use. However, Sarah is entitled to compensation for the expropriation, but the amount will depend on various factors related to the property and the expropriation. She is not entitled to remain on the land or take as long as she sees fit to vacate. Lastly, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not provide an absolute protection against expropriation, but only requires that the government comply with certain procedural and substantive requirements.
