The present Act lays down provisions relating to the conservation of agricultural marshland. The Act contains at the outset a definition clause relating to various terms employed therein such as, for example, “Commission”, “development”, “marsh body”, “marshland”, “Marshland Administration”, “work”, etc. The Governor in Council may appoint an Agricultural Marshland Conservation Commission consisting of not more than five members. Section 8 sets out the duties of the Commission, such as, for example, to advise the Minister on matters related to the conservation and protection of marshland and its development and maintenance.
