Minister asks for IRAC to investigate Buddhist land holdings in PEI

Housing, Land and Communities Minister Steven Myers has asked the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission to immediately investigate land holdings – both directly and indirectly – of the Great Wisdom Buddhist Institute Inc. and Great Enlightenment Buddhist Institute Society, following the rules of the Lands Protection Act.  Myers says Islanders have valid concerns about who owns land and how it is being used, especially since PEI is a small province with limited land.  However, Myers says it’s also important that the discussions are based on evidence, not assumptions.
