A Farm Land Ownership Advisory Committee has been established to provide feedback on legislation.

Saskatchewan Agriculture Daryl Harrison said the committee will meet with stakeholders in October and November and then provide a summary to the provincial government.

Harrison said the province will review the findings.

“Our government wants to ensure that legislation meets the needs of Saskatchewan farm land owners,” he said. “This committee’s work will help inform the decisions we make regarding farm land ownership in our province.”

The committee will consist of Ken McDonald, who will serve as the chairperson, and two committee members, Deron Kuski and Curt Chickoski.

McDonald said he was pleased to be a part of this committee that will review all aspects of farm land ownership in Saskatchewan.

“Farm land ownership is an important issue to the people of this province, and it is our task to review current regulations and to make sure that managing this valuable asset remains a priority,” McDonald said

Saskatchewan farm land is one of the province’s most valuable assets. The province’s farm land ownership framework is comprised of The Saskatchewan Farm Security Act and the Saskatchewan Farm Security Regulations.

As the nature of farming and business continues to evolve, the province wants to ensure the legislative framework regarding farm land ownership meets the needs of the people of Saskatchewan.

The Farm Land Security Board will continue to monitor and enforce Saskatchewan’s farm land ownership legislation, while operating independently of the government.

The Board enforces the act which specifies individuals and entities that are eligible to acquire an interest in farm land, including Canadian citizens, permanent residents of Canada, and corporations that are 100 per cent Canadian owned and not publicly traded.
