may be shown with an EP zone symbol on a Schedule to this By-law. This
is not deemed to limit the authority of the Province to issue a license, a
lease, a permit or a contract to govern and /or enforce land use activities on
Crown Land, nor to abrogate the statutory rights of the Township of
Lanark Highlands of any input, approval or decision with respect to the
issuing of such a license, lease, permit or contract on Crown Land.
