EDMONTON- The UCP is modernizing the rent and fees ranchers and cattle owners pay the province for use of public lands.
The government says the current grazing fee framework has been frozen since 1994 and is based on outdated data.
It has introduced legislation which it says will protect the beef industry against tariffs because it eliminates the perception of a subsidy for Alberta’s ranchers.
There will also be a flat-rate fee for the transfer of a lease.
