Statements

WRITTEN QUESTION 4-17(2): AVAILABILITY OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS

My questions are directed to the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment, and it’s on the availability of agricultural lands.

What is the amount of land leased for commercial agricultural use according to total area, number of parcels and average size of a parcel?

What work is underway to evaluate and inventory land that could be offered for commercial agricultural use?

What activities is the department carrying out, including working with municipalities, to increase the amount of agricultural land available and to promote the commercial development and productive use of agricultural land and what supports are being offered to potential developers?
