This Report for Discussion accompanies the report of the Joint Land Titles Committee entitled Renovating the Foundation: Proposals for a Model Land Recording and Registration Act for the Provinces and Territories of Canada. The core of the Joint Committee’s report is a Model Land Recording and Registration Act.

In this Report for Discussion we discuss some existing Alberta law and make some comparisons between it and the Model Act. We do so only to illuminate some selected subjects concerning which we think that Alberta-oriented discussion and comparisons will be especially helpful to readers. ‘This Report for Discussion does not supersede the discussion in the Joint Committee’s report, nor does it purport to discuss every major area of that report or of the Model Act.
