I assure the Minister that the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act and our land and water boards were not designed for regulating people's properties and whether they want to put a greenhouse on their lot. The idea that they have to apply for a land use permit to the land and water board in order to change their property, it is one of these things that Lands has created and is refusing to adjust. Right now, the department knows that there are numerous people living on the trail in recreational leases, and they are not allowed to do that. They are not allowed to live in recreational leases, and yet, the department refuses to either enforce this or give them residential leases. Do the efforts to implement the Public Land Act have any solutions, or does the department plan to address this issue?
