File consists of an untitled published piece in Country Life Column by Gary Runka.
Commentary by Barry Smith of the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands:
"This article is focused on renewed interest in the development of a provincial land use strategy. The article outlines the lack of action for over 20 years in the development of such a strategy.
Several key land and water uses that warrant consideration are listed - starting with agriculture - along with a list of overriding issues.
The position of GGR is clear in the last paragraph - 'The time for a provincial land use strategy was yesterday"..
Although farmland preservation is not specifically identified it would, one would have to think, clearly be one element of a land use strategy."
