Bill Bennett, minister responsible for the B.C. government’s ‘core review,’ is trying his darndest lately to reassure British Columbians that the government “has no plans to dismantle” the Agricultural Land Commission and that much of the speculation was simply the result of government “brainstorming.” That’s nice. Doesn’t mean much in government-speak, but it sounds comforting. It’s what comes next that should be of concern. In an interview with the Globe and Mail on Tuesday, Bennett confirmed that the Commission would, however, be subject to the government’s core review. So just because the government doesn’t want to dismantle it, doesn’t mean that the government – in Bennett’s words – “think(s) the commission is perfect or that every piece of land that was put in there, should be there.” What exactly do those ominous words mean for the ALC? http://www.integritybc.ca/?page_id=4117
