The Progressive Conservatives are defending Bill 36 and the Alberta Land Stewardship Act and the Wildrose are campaigning to repeal it along with other bills. I do not believe this is on the urban voter’ s radar but since Keith Wilson toured rural Alberta a year or so ago it has become a hot button issue in the country. Keith Wilson, a lawyer, has the opinion that Bill 36 will compromise landholder rights. Our family is transitioning to the fifth generation on a farm west of High River on the Highwood River. We hold grazing leases, a forestry grazing allotment, water license for irrigation and mineral rights. I was a member of the regional advisory council for the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan along with sixteen other Southern Albertans. We were tasked with creating recommendations for the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan which falls under the provincial Land Use Framework and would be governed by Bill 36.
