An online survey has been created by the Alberta government to gather input on controversial land use bills passed by the former administration.
It is one more way the Alison Redford government is gathering information as part of a review of bills 19, 24, 36 and 50 that caused widespread concern last year over potential loss of landowners’ rights.
The survey is available at www.propertyrights.alberta.ca.
Results will be reviewed by a task force chaired by environment and water minister Diana McQueen. Agriculture minister Evan Berger, who spent much of last winter defending the bills enacted by the Ed Stelmach government, will be vice-chair.
As well, 10 community meetings have been scheduled for citizen input. They’ll take place Jan. 9-17 in Grimshaw, Grande Prairie, St. Paul, Westlock, Olds, Rocky Mountain House, Brooks, Hanna, Medicine Hat and Lethbridge.
A government news release said input will also be accepted via mail, e-mail and phone.
