Minister, you are giving yourself the right to control people's land, once they've been notified, for two years, rather than 120 days. It's 120 days for every other project in Canada, but for us, it's two years.
Are you willing to make an exception for agricultural land, knowing that no one is going to want to build condos or call in an engineer to increase their land value because the land is the subject of negotiations? Productivity and food security come into play. Under Bill C-19, your government announced that it would be sending out cheques to help people.
Would you be willing to reduce the time frame to 120 days for farmland in the agricultural zones of the Commission de protection du territoire agricole du Québec?
