Scope and content
File consists of a speech given by Gary Runka to the BC Federation of Agriculture in Prince George entitled "The Land Commission and the Role of the B.C.F.A. Advisory Committee".
Commentary on this speech by Barry Smith of the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands:
"GGR uses this speech to particularly emphasize the work of the BCFA Regional Advisory Committees appointed to assist the Commission by providing advice.
Several specific examples are given of where the assistance of the Advisory Committees will be helpful.
GGR briefly outlines the work and challenges of the Commission to date. The speech ends with a list of six "general areas of concern". The list is very perceptive, revealing several of the challenges the Commission was facing at this early stage in the program including:
- Breakdown of viable production units through the sale of existing legal parcels;
- Rangeland tenure and management;
- Integrated use complications;
- Impact of major development proposals within or adjacent to the ALR;
- Small holdings owned by non-rural people in the ALR; and
- Urban re-direction away from the ALR and rural / urban interface conflicts.
The last line of p. 5 is partially hidden and reads: "...more than willing to meet with any of you individually as time permits."
