Land rules could change
Rules that limit foreign ownership of Saskatchewan farmland to 10 acres may be due for review, Agriculture Minister Bob Bjornerud says.
The minister said the case of an American man who is fighting an order to sell Saskatchewan land owned by his family for nearly 100 years has highlighted some issues with the current law.
Even though the province`s Farm Land Security Board already has the power to grant exemptions to the 10-acre foreign ownership limit, legislative changes are also an option the Sask. Party government could consider, Bjornerud said Wednesday.
