If the interpretation was such that this strategy applied to federal departments, then I would not have a problem with that. I think it is indeed time for some departments to embrace a sustainable development strategy. Rarely do federal departments have such a strategy in place and this is a major shortcoming.
However, clause 8 of the bill calls for the implementation of a national sustainable development strategy that includes “ targets with respect to each item listed in Column 2 of the schedule;”.
One of the items listed in Column 2 of the schedule is “urban land”, not “federal land”. Subclause (b) proposes an implementation strategy for meeting each target and penalties for non-compliance.
