The inclusions and exclusions come from applications for authorization submitted under the Act respecting the protection of land and agricultural activities (LPTAA L.R.Q., c. P-41.1) relating to the inclusion of lots in the agricultural zone or to the exclusion of lots in the agricultural zone.

o The file of inclusions and exclusions represents polygons resulting from decisions of the Commission that modify the boundaries of the agricultural zone. An inclusion adds an area to the agricultural area while an exclusion removes it. The boundaries of the agricultural zone are then the result of the addition of these decisions.

o Decisions are spread over time and there may be a partial or total superposition of an area resulting from inclusion and exclusion. In these cases, consider the result from the highest file number, which is the final result.

· Source of inclusions and exclusions

o The reference documents that served as the basis for the digitization of decisions are: the basis for

topographic data of Quebec (BDTQ) at a scale of 1:20,000, the cadastral compilation at the scale

1:20,000, the Quebec Cadastre, orthophotos and various plans.

· Warnings and limitations

o All the inclusions and exclusions folders are also contained in the file of

decisions. However, a decision leading to an inclusion or exclusion will not take effect until

when it was registered with the Registrar's Office. It is only at this time

that the decision will appear in the inclusions and exclusions file. Several months may

elapsing between a decision and its registration. If the conditions are not met within the deadline

If the decision is given, it will lapse.

o With the progress of cadastral renovation, more and more territories in agricultural areas are

dependent on the new cadastre. The renovated cadastre has the advantage of being more precise and better

structured as the cadastral compilation. On the other hand, you should know that several decisions leading to

an inclusion or exclusion has been rendered and mapped on the cadastral compilation. By

Therefore, in order to limit the risks of misinterpretation, refer to the text of the

decision as well as the attached plan if necessary to validate the positioning if necessary.
