Endorsement of UBCM Resolution - Adequate Funding for Agricultural Land Commission (the “ALC”)

The cutbacks to the ALC budget are especially alarming given that it will impact their ability to process revenues generated from application fees associated with sections s.20(2); s.21(2); s.22; s.35 of the ALC Act. It is estimated that applications fees generate just under $500,000 annually. Crucially, however, these fees are returned to the BC Treasury Board and are re-directed to general provincial revenue and do not offset ALC operating costs. Moreover, the ALC’s compliance and enforcement section also generated $512,000 in monetary penalties for contraventions under the ALC Act. Similarly, this revenue is returned to general provincial revenue and does not fund operations.
