LAND POLICY
By G. Austin.
"Land policy as carried at the .
N.F.U. annual convention in Dec-
ember 75 deals first ',with the
Foreign and Corporate Control of .
Farm Land. The N.F.U. views with
alarm 'the escalation of foreign
ownership ‘of our most' precious
resource, land, both agribuItural
and non agricultural. Therefore,
the , federal.government should
amend the Canadian CitizenShili
Act in order to remove any doubt
that the provinces have the right to
regulate and control the ownership
of land by aliens within provincial
boundaries on a different basis
than Canadian citizens. The
N.F.U. believes that the encroach-
Ment of industrial corporations into
primary food production through
direct, ownership, vertical integra-
tion or contract farming is not in
the best interests of rural commun-
ities, consumers or the well being
of our society and' should be
discouraged by governments at a!i
levels.
FARM SIZE - The accelerating
trend of ever larger production
units is leading to the:breakdown of
rural' communities and consequent
erosion of the quality of life in rural'
Canada.
Therefore it is recommended
that each provinee keep a running
inventory of ownerShip and control
of •farm land and where appears
desirable upper limits be placed on
the amount of land that may be
owned or controlled by an.. individ
ual, farm corpolation, co-operative
or non-farm corporation.
URBAN AND INDUSTRIAL
DEVELOPMENT ,
'We seriously question the advis-
ability or necessity for, land
,developers to own land for the
purpose of Urban, induStrial, or'
recreational developthent; • Exper-
ience has 'shown that this leads to
speculation in land for the purpose
of capital gains, irrational' land use
and poorly planned communities,'
We believe. that the.public should
acquire land for such purposes and
the role of private developers
would .then be to contract to nia:..e
the. necessary , improvements • to
such land. •
