Ideally, the governments of both nations would allow the unowned

I'd rather see the lands continue to be owned by the Crown and
adminstered by competent technocrats with a long-term view for the
greatest public good, forever and ever. Of course, they can privatize
some of the management aspects with no problem. Same with water.
I wouldn't want much of the national superhighway system falling into
private hands either.
