The City is required to establish a plan and let the government know about its long-term plans for land use. It does that. Then it makes the application. Certainly the Government of the Northwest Territories can identify its own needs within the boundary of the City of Yellowknife.
Does the Minister not recognize that by doing this piecemeal approach, that he is falsely inflating the cost of land and not, in fact, allowing the municipality to do good, quality, long-term planning?
