  • Manitoba's Changes to Workers Compensation Legislation
    Manitoba’s Changes to Workers Compensation Legislation Regarding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Analysis and Legislative Process N O R A F I E N * I. INTRODUCTION orkers Compensation provides benefits to employees injured at work. Compensation is provided both for physical and W psychological injuries, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD]. In most jurisdictions, the onus is on the worker to show that their PTSD is work-related. Recently, a number of provincial governments and political parties have introduced bills to change that. Several years ago, Alberta passed a bill that created a presumption that an emergency worker’s PTSD was work-related, unless the contrary could be shown. Ontario just recently passed similar provisions. Since then, similar bills have been introduced in legislatures throughout the country. But last year, Manitoba went a step further and legislated the presumption for all workers covered by Workers Compensation. Public awareness about mental illnesses like PTSD has been increasing, along with the recognition that stigma is a barrier to treatment. Political parties have presented presumption bills as a way to reduce stigma and speed access to treatment for work-related PTSD. These are of course admirable goals, so admirable in fact that the bills do not always receive much scrutiny from opposing parties. One can speculate that a political party does not want to appear unsupportive of emergency workers, who * J.D.

Manitoba’s legislature passed Bill 35, The Workers Compensation Amendment Act (Presumption re Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Other Amendments)1 [Bill 35], into law last year.

  • The Highway Traffic Amendment Act (Safety of Workers in Highway Construction Zones)
    Bill 2: The Highway Traffic Amendment Act (Safety of Workers in Highway Construction Zones) ANDREW HNATIUK I. INTRODUCTION 2015 CanLIIDocs 248 n November 15, 2013 Bill 2 was introduced into the Manitoba Legislature. It amends The Highway Traffic Act1 in four ways: O First, this Bill defines a “designated construction zone” and allows the Traffic Authority to (a) mark a “designated construction zone” and (b) give permission to another person, usually the contractor, to place the necessary signage. Second, this Bill removes the “when passing workers” provision from speed limits in designated construction zones. Third, it makes the fine for speeding in a designated construction zone double the fine for speeding elsewhere by increasing the additional fine per kilometre per hour in excess of the speed limit from $5.00 to $7.70. Finally, this Bill permits regulations to be made relating to safety measures, signage requirements, broadening of the definition of “designated construction zone,” and exclusion of certain persons or entities from the definition of “Traffic Authority.” The Honourable Erna Braun, Minister of Labour and Immigration, introduced the Bill by explaining: This bill will enhance safety for workers by making speeding in a construction Zone an offence and doubling the fine amount issued to motorists that speed in construction Zones. When a motorist enters a construction Zone, they are entering a workplace. These amendments will ensure construction Zones are consistently marked and motorists are clearly informed of the reduced speed limit.2 1 The Highway Traffic Act, RSM 1985, c H60. 2 Manitoba, Legislative Assembly, Debates and Proceedings, 40th Leg, 3rd Sess, Vol LXVI, No 4 (15 November 2013) [Debates (15 November 2013)] at 93.

  • Condominium News and Views
    Condominium News and Views To the Members and Friends of The Manitoba Chapter • November 2013 A HiGH-Rise CONDO ComPLEX Goes TotaLLY NoN-smoKING In June 2013, one of the Winnipeg’s earliest high-rise condo complexes voted overwhelmingly to adopt a totally smoke-free environment - not just in the common areas, but in all individual living units and balconies as well. It was a bold step, and one of the first of its kind in Canada. The Board of Directors thought that other Boards and Owners may be interested in knowing how this was done. The following is a brief description of the steps that were taken, some of the bumps in the road, and how the issues were resolved by everyone as matters progressed. A few obstacles were very apparent from the beginning. A 75% endorsement of those attending the next Annual General Meeting was needed to amend the by-laws. The Board was fairly confident that could be achieved. However, an 80% endorsement of all of the Owners, even those not living in Manitoba, was required to amend the Declaration. The Board embarked on a campaign to achieve both of these objectives. Board minutes during the winter outlined the plan, the Board’s unanimous endorsement of it, and outlined three points that were critically important: • The adverse effects of inhaling second-hand smoke are beyond dispute; • Careless smoking poses a fire hazard to all residents and visitors; • Legal advisors across the country are warning Boards and Owners that they may be financially liable for failing to protect non-smokers from the effects of drifting second hand smoke That started the discussion amongst the Owners in the hallways, the elevators and by telephone.

  • Is the NDP As Manitoba's Natural Governing Party
    Is the NDP Manitoba’s Natural Governing Party? A Paper Presented at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Edmonton, AB. June 14, 2012 Nelson Wiseman Dept. of Political Science University of Toronto [email protected] In the lexicon of Canadian politics, academics and journalists have long associated the term “natural governing party” with the federal Liberal party1 and reasonably so: the Liberals governed for 80 years, or 72 percent, of the 110 years between 1896 and 2006. In Alberta, the Progressive Conservatives’ unbroken record of majority governments for more than the past four decades qualifies them as well for the appellation “natural governing party.”2 This paper asks if the New Democratic Party (NDP) may be considered as Manitoba’s natural governing party. By the time of Manitoba’s next election, the party will have governed in 33 years, or 59 percent, of the 46 years since its initial ascension to office in 1969. A generation of new Manitoban voters in the 2015 election will have known only an NDP government in their politically conscious lives. To them, the “natural” political order will be NDP government. If a measure of dominance is whether a governing party commands a majority of parliamentary seats, then the Manitoba NDP’s record exceeds the record of the federal Liberals. In the 28 federal elections since 1921 – when the possibility of minority governments first arose with the appearance of third parties in Parliament – the Liberals secured majority mandates in 12, or only 43 percent, of those contests. The Manitoba NDP, in contrast, has won outright majorities in 58 percent of the elections since 1969.

    Bike to the Future c/o 3 rd Floor – 303 Portage Ave. Winnipeg, MB R3B 2B4 www.biketothefuture.org Sept. 10, 2009 NDP Caucus Members; Thank you for taking the time to meet with us in June. I hope you have had a good summer, and are taking every opportunity to ride a bicycle! At our meeting with you on June 24 we promised to provide you with some information related to some of the questions that were raised. Following are some notes and comments that we hope will be helpful. If you would like us to provide you with any of the specific documents that are mentioned we would be happy to do so. 1. Best practices and standards from other cities : There are detailed best practice guides for building bicycle routes from the American Association of Highway Transport Officials (AASHTO), and from Sustrans, a UK bike route building charity. These manuals are based on their 30+ years of experience in building and maintaining bike routes over many years. (See: http://www.communitymobility.org/pdf/aashto.pdf ; and http://www.sustransconnect2.org.uk/resources/Other_Resources.php . See also the Bike to the Future web site: http://biketothefuture.org/design-for-the-future/best- design-practices .) Rather than forward these technical documents to you, we propose to submit them, along with the latest information on “Complete Streets” to the Provincial and City advisory committees through our members, requesting that they be provided to the road planners and civil engineers. 2. Professional development for planners and engineers : We have found that the US National Highways Institute offers, on a regular basis, a bicycle facilities design course, which is based on the AASHTO guide.
