Do your job, Mr. Speaker

The following statement was issued by the Honourable Charlene Johnson, Minister of Environment and Conservation. It was also read in the House of Assembly:

Crown Lands Investment Improves Service to the Public

It is important that we continue to ensure the long-term protection of Crown lands, as they provide environmental, social and economic value to the province. As such, $75,000 has also been provided in Budget 2008 to commence the development of a comprehensive Land Use Management Strategy. This strategy will focus upon developing land-use policies and plans, land registration, management framework, as well as the overall administration of provincial land. This was a Bluebook commitment made by the Williams Government in 2007, and I am delighted that we are working toward delivering on that commitment.
