EXPLANATORY NOTES Clause 1 of the Bill would amend section 5 of the Lands Act to change the word "grant" to the word "issue". Clause 2 of the Bill would amend subsection 17(2) of the Act to change the word "granted" to the word "issued". Clause 3 of the Bill would amend subsection 39(1) of the Act to allow the Provincial Court and another court of competent jurisdiction to be points of registration for certificates respecting Crown land issued under the Act. Presently the only court referred to is the Supreme Court.
