By omitting from subsection (1) the words “occupation and use”, and substituting the words “use, or occupation and use,”:

The said section 66a is hereby further amended by inserting, after subsection (2), the following subsection:

“(2a)

Before approving the issue of a recreation permit under this section over Crown land that is not subject to any lease or licence, the Board may require the applicant to advertise his application in some newspaper or newspapers circulating in the locality; and the Board may, in its absolute discretion, do any of the following things:

The principal Act is hereby amended by inserting, after section 124, the following section:

“124a

“(1)

Every lessee under a lease in perpetuity may, at any time during the currency of that lease, acquire the fee simple of the land comprised in that lease by paying to the Commissioner an amount equal to the rental value upon which the yearly rent for that land is calculated together with all rent accrued and accruing under that lease up to the date of payment; and upon the making of that payment, acquisition shall be deemed to have been completed, and that lessee shall be entitled to a certificate of title in respect of that land.

“(2)

The right conferred by this section to acquire the fee simple of any land is in addition to any other right its lessee may have to purchase or acquire that fee simple.”
