Thread. Thank you for your support at the beginning of this adventure!

After considerable thought and discussion with friends and family, I’ve decided to put my name forward to seek the Liberal nomination for the District of Terra Nova. (thread)

Latest on the Crown Lands portfolio:

Legislation to shorten squatters rights got royal assent on Dec 4.

Primary Residence Title Program is in effect: www.gov.nl.ca/crownlands/p.... Unfortunately, you pay $1000 in fees for your own house. Wish govt would not monetize the solution to this problem.

Well, it's finally happened. The Lands Act has been amended. Bit of a longer thread on Linkedin, since it doesn't have a character limit.

There's only a few small changes that can be cleaned up by regulations, and we could solve the biggest mess in the province once and for all.

Since I can only be in one place at a time, I am live-tweeting my comments on the House of Assembly debate on the Lands Act amendments on The Former Place:

There's a lot to be said on this topic and it's important that govt and the public get it right.

Draft Crown Lands legislation is available AT LONG LAST!
It's not perfect. Still have 1977 cutoff. Market value issues are problematic of me. A five year cutoff could pose a problem depending on what's going to happen at the end.

Now let me tell you how to fix this.(next)

Crown Lands reform legislation is being debated in the House of Assembly right now! Going to burn through my roaming data on the drive home.

I've made the move over here today, but I'll cross-post my latest Crown Lands posting from The Old Place for now, since I've already got it posted over there.

Today's government announcement: the Primary Residence Property Title Program.
