ASSTI{ACT The first and largest influx of llkrainian irmígrants to ÞfaniËoba came betr,¡een l896 and I9L4. Having left oppressive conditions in Eastern Europe, they destred equallty u'ith oÈher Canadian cj-tizens, but initially their polttl-cal participation r¿as neí¡--her r+elcomed nor encoLrraged" In 1899 the ConservaLive oppositlon in }fanitoba came to por./er: by characterizlng them as @- .-^1pwrrL!Ld! J è-i ^-'l +L-^urrrcât Ëo rhe provincets Briti-sh heritage and character. For fcur years, the ner,¡ government lnvoked leg1-slatlon desígned Ëo deny Ukrainians and other Eastern Europeans the vote. By 1901+, however, this attitude changeci to a manipulative paternalism as both Liberals and Conservatives sought to win votes through the work of varl-ous political agents. The Conservatlves in particular established a politícal machíne r¡hich conceded Ukrainians and others the right to benefít from the biltngual educatlonal clause of the i896 Lauríer-Greenr.^Iay â gr:eement . By 1910, the Liberal party headed a reform coalítlon 1n opposition to the Conservative government. Coming to power trr 1915, durlng a perlod of 1nËense v¡artine patriotfsm, it repealed legislation providing bilingual education. Meanr^rhile, the Ukrainian community in the provl-nce was fragmented into rival factlons, íncluding conservative Catholics, líberal nationalisÈs and radical socíalists, as well as beíng subjected to varíous "colonízLng" efforts by French Catholics and British Protestant clergy. Restrictive legislation and socÍal hostÍ1ity necessitated an inÍtial politieal particlpatíon bv UkraÍnlans ru'hl^ch i¡as turbuient and def ensive ln natr.rre. Polltfcal -]-1 - participation and representation was firsE achieved at the local municipaì- level, and laf:er in 1915, provlncÍalìy, r,ritir the first Ukrainian Canadj-an being elected to the legíslature. The effect of wart.ime nativism and Liberal íntolerance I,las to move the IlkraÍnians to',.rards greater couununity-orlented political actl-vity, fndependent of the prevlous manipulation by party interests. By 1922, the I;krainíans ha.d achieved a permanent legislative presence, a developmenL which was rvelcomecl ln the corn¡nunity as a step tor"'ards â more equitable polltical parElcipat Íon " - 11ì - ACKNOT^,II-ED GEI"IEN T S Iwouldliketoexpressmygratitudetothosepeoplewhohave assisted in the completion of tiris study.

Instruction ín Ukraínian and other l-anguages vrould be allowed in selected elementary subjects for half of each ceaching l d"y.' Evidently Ínfluerrced by the íncreasing avareness wíthin Canadian society of its multicultural character, the I'lanÍLoba governmenË LTas movlng to restore policies for cultural mínorities simílar to those r+hich had been abolished over slxtv vears earlier. The historj-cal record of Èhat early períod sho¡¿s thaL the cultural acceptance of ethnic mínorities in Manitoba v¡as initially resisteci and occurred only gradually as Che culrninatlon of a long anci hard process. Itlhile nunerous and r¡aried minorities have contributed to Canadian a\{areness of the country's cultural clíversity, the Ukral-nian Canadian communlEy has been actíve l-n thls respect ouL of all proportl-on to lts s|ze.

" As a background to thfs present ro1e, r"hat will be considered here are the historic antecedents of TJkrainians in }fanftoba. The purpose is to provfcie some lnsl-ght tnto the initial political experience of the Ukrainían cornmunlEy ín Manitoba. From a description of that. experience, the present relatively secure positíon of likrainian CanaCians may be placed in historical perspective. A1so, although the early politícal experiences cf Ukrainians ín lfaniÈoba cannot be regarded as typícal of all ethnie groups, Íroi: even of all LTkrainian immigrants to North America, they are also not completely unlque. idithin J-imits, they serve as a case study of the first stages of ethnic polírícs, when iumigrants are lntroduced into unfamiliar and often T:rostile errvíronments. The I-tkrainian e>:perlence in }{anltoba serves as an example of an immigrant group seeklng to adapt to nevJ cultural, economic and political realities. Accordí.ngly, the rnain political cleveloprnents affectíng Lkrainians in l{anitoba will be analyzed, vrÍth particular aLt.ent-ion to leaders and organlzations who molded the poli-tical directíon of the community. To a degree, the sÈudy r.¡Í11 trace the political aEtitudes and behaviour of Lik-rainiens in l"lanitoba r"riÈh regard to cultural matters, but wÍl1 also go beyond thís to exannine Lhe I t', I,Iangenheim, 8., "The Ukrainians: A Case Study of the Thirci Forcet i* Canadian Society: Sociological_Perspectives (Blishen, Bernard R.

To this eird, the study w111 at first consider the condítions l-n Eastern Europe r^¡hich precipitaced the massive ernigration of i-Ikrainians, the main social and polftical attitudes and expectations of UlcraÍnian lmmígrants v¡ho came to Manitoba, and Ëhe nature of their reception.

Presenting Petitions Keading and Receiving Petitions Presenting Renorts by Standing and Select Committees Notice of Motion Introduction of Bills Orders of the Day MR. R. SEABORN (Wellington): Before the Orders of the Day, I would like to point out one or two errors in the Hansard of October the 29th. At the outset, I might say that I am probably responsible in some measure for some of the changes that occurred in the Hansard, because after all it was my maiden speech, but as the changes do in.some respect change the serise of some of the sen­ tences, I would beg to bring them to your attention at this time. On page 24, in the second naragraph, it should r'ead "Mr. Sneaker,· one of the greates·t socialist. 1 s in England once said: that the dominant issue of the twentieth century 1§. socialism". and further down about 11 lines from the bottom of the page of page 24, it should read: "In a large modern community the public cannot own property directly as it is only in the most ludicrous sense that the 180 million Russians own the Russian railway; or the 50 million Britishers own the public - (pardon me) - own the British coal mines, when the Attlee Government was in power".
