18 Lien for grazing lease or permit fees
grazing lease or under a permit in respect of any animals run or
grazed on any land comprised in a lease or any community pasture
or any public land constitutes a first lien in favour of the Crown on
each animal so run or grazed.
(2) The Minister may enforce the lien by the seizure and sale, in a
manner and at a time the Minister considers proper, of those of the
animals subject to the lien that are required to realize a sufficient
sum to satisfy the full amount owing by the lessee or permittee.
(3) In addition to any other remedies that the Minister has, if
default is made in the due payment of any sum owing by a lessee or
permittee under any grazing lease or permit with respect to animals
run or grazed under a grazing lease or permit or on any community
pasture, the Minister may recover the sum by distress on any goods
and chattels of the lessee or permittee wherever they might be
found within Alberta, in the same manner and subject to the same
conditions, exemptions and restrictions as if the amount so owing
were taxes payable under the Municipal Government Act.
(4) All the provisions of the Municipal Government Act relating to
distress apply, with all necessary modifications, to a distress under
this section.
