Agriculture Minister Derek Johnson has announced changes to the Agricultural Crown Lands (ACL) Leases and Permits Regulation .
The ACL program is designed to support improving forage productivity, growing the livestock industry and advancing sustainability.
He notes that the ACL Program also needs to work for leaseholders and Indigenous Peoples who use these lands for traditional purposes and to exercise treaty rights.
Johnson says after a 45-day public comment period that included Indigenous communities and organizations, as well as stakeholders, the province is revising the ACL Leases and Permits Regulation to improve the program for all who use it.
