LANDLINES, EPISODE 6 HAS DROPPED!

Just last week, IRAC CEO refused a request from a provincial standing committee to see the 2018 investigation into Buddhist land holdings in eastern PEI. She also refused to share an update on the most recent investigation. This continuing secrecy from IRAC makes our conversation with Ian Petrie all the more intriguing.

Ian Petrie has been following the activities of IRAC since its inception some 34 years ago. His work in journalism and connections in agriculture give him a unique and interesting perspective on the inner workings of the Commission and how their actions impact government, developers, realtors and all Islanders. Tune in to hear host, Boyd Allen and Ian’s thoughts on why certain reports have never been shared, what needs to change and much more. So much more that this is just part 1 of a 2 part series on IRAC with Ian Petrie. Enjoy and please share!

Thanks to Chris Ortenburger for sharing this article in her Citizens’ Alliance newsletter this morning, along with these comments: “There is so much in that interview that brings up more questions for the Minister and Premier: must all land be in “production”? where is good Land Use Planning? (notice that may not be the same as Where is the Land Use Plan? ;-) where is the IRAC report on the Kings County land holdings that former Environment and former Lands and Community minister Stephen Myers set in motion? Why can’t the Land Department keep track of land? Why have IRAC in charge of this when her government has announced it is set to break up IRAC and there will certainly be a lot of transition? And things not addressed here: What about non-profit land protection organizations like Island Nature Trust? (this has been addressed elsewhere with a wave of the hand, but it would be good if the minister recognised this clearly) Why are agriculture giants not addressed, but non-profits? How easy will it be to work around this law? Have they thought that far in the future? This also feels like a use of a lot of government legislative writing time that could be spent on other promised legislation
