As the voice of Manitoba farmers, this meeting is a key part of our democratic and grassroots decision-making process. The input we receive from our members, commodity groups, and the whole of industry drives our advocacy efforts. $ 500 Thank you for attending, and for representing your districts and your commodity groups. Thank you also to our guests and the media for participating. 2020 was an incredibly difficult year for farmers and producers across Manitoba. Many began in the spring with some crop left to harvest before seeding. We ended the year with minimal weather delays, a strong harvest, and record grain movement. Yet with rising input and commodity prices, transportation disruptions, and now, a global pandemic, farmers are dealing with volatile markets for all products. The COVID-19 pandemic presented new challenges for everyone and left farmers holding most of the risk in the global marketplace. Unprecedented market disruptions brought on by COVID-19, including numerous processing slowdowns and facility closures, are all too familiar now. From the beginning of this pandemic, Manitoba’s agriculture industry has worked with both the $ 250 federal government and the provincial government to address obstacles that have arisen. At every opportunity, KAP has been clear that we must keep our eye on the long-term safety and sustainability of the food supply chain. We appreciate the efforts of each government to support the agriculture industry during this difficult time. The financial accommodations provided to the industry, along with the recognition of agriculture production, processing, and the supporting supply chains as essential, are helping farmers do their $ 100 part in this time of continued uncertainty. KAP continues to advocate for the issues that matter to farmers and producers. As a result of successful advocacy work, we are pleased that the provincial government has launched a new initiative to assist farmers in seeking mandatory entry-level training (MELT) to obtain their Class 1 license. KAP will continue to advocate for increased flexibility with MELT, including an online platform for MELT course delivery, to further reduce barriers to this training. 6 7 We are calling on both the provincial and federal governments to strengthen Business Risk Management (BRM) programming for producers. Through the existing Canadian Agricultural Partnership framework, BRM programs can, with some adjustment, provide effective support for the General Manager’s Report industry. There is no better time for us to work together towards larger-scale improvements for the next policy framework and build on the programs and supporting administration. The issue that has driven the most attention recently is the carbon tax and the impact it has on Manitoba farmers. It must be recognized that carbon tax costs are embedded in every aspect of the Patty Rosher food supply chain, from inputs to production to marketing. The proposed tax increase will put KAP General Manager unnecessary pressure on farmers and consumers. It is also critical that governments recognize the climate benefits that farmers provide every day, including carbon storage and greenhouse gas mitigation. It does not need repeating that 2020 was an unusual year for our industry and our communities. The pandemic posed several challenges The fact is that farmers store carbon short term in their products and long term in their soil, and along the food, feed, and fibre value chains. KAP staff and members thanks to good management practices and new technology, emissions intensity in agriculture has continue to do good work despite having to work remotely and meet improved year after year. KAP will continue to highlight the impact of the carbon tax on grain drying virtually. and heating barns and farm buildings, just as we did last year. We need to see the provincial and federal governments figure out solutions that better support Three-Year Strategic Plan farmers as climate stewards. Putting in place an exemption for fuel used for drying grain and heating and cooling barns, just

(the “MMF”) in the above-referenced proceeding. We write in response to your letter of May 21, 2020,1 inviting the MMF to file any amendments or updates to its previously filed submissions regarding Manitoba Hydro’s (“Hydro”) failure to comply with conditions 3 and 15 (the “Conditions”) of Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity EC-059 (the “Certificate”), in light of the Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench decision in Manitoba Metis Federation v. Brian Pallister, 2020 MBQB 49 (the “Judicial Review Decision”). The MMF maintains its previous submissions to the Commission, which it provided on July 23, August 16, and October 23, 2019.2 The MMF also relies on its Notice of Application (the “Application”), as filed, seeking specific relief from the Commission as a result of Hydro’s failure to comply with the Conditions. The issues before the Commission are: (1) whether the promises made in the Major Agreed Points reached between the MMF and Hydro in July 2017 (the “Major Agreed Points”) specific to the MMTP are “commitments made to [the MMF] . otherwise on the record of the EH-001-2017,” and, if so, (2) whether Hydro has therefore breached the Conditions.

  • Letter to the Minister of Education
    Board Office 830 Powers Street Winnipeg, MB. R2V 4E7 Telephone: 204.586.8061 Fax: 204.589.2504 March 25, 2021 emailed March 25, 2021 Honourable Cliff Cullen Minister of Education Room 168 Legislative Bldg. 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Dear Mr. Cullen: I write on behalf of our Seven Oaks School Division Board of Trustees to offer advice and suggestions related to the sweeping changes to education you’ve announced. We’re writing to offer constructive suggestions to benefit the students, staff and community of Seven Oaks for which we care deeply. 1. Equity in funding. We support your goal for all Manitoba students to “succeed, no matter where they live, their background or their individual circumstances.” Seven Oaks and other school divisions with modest assessment have long been disadvantaged. We consistently spend less than other school divisions yet our taxpayers face higher bills. In 2019-2020 we spent $802 per pupil or 6% less than the provincial average. Yet our homeowners paid taxes 2.9 mills over the provincial average. That’s 21% more and that is $391.50 on a house valued at $300,000. We urge you to adopt a uniform provincial mill rate for 2022-2023 school year budgets. That would immediately bring greater fairness to taxation levels throughout the province and ease the burden on those ratepayers who’ve been overtaxed for years. 2. Don’t abandon what’s working. Our Seven Oaks schools are good now and are working hard to get even better. We attach a summary of our results as a system - “Seven Oaks by the Numbers”.

    ________________________________________ MINISTER OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Legislative Building Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA R3C 0V8 Colleen Sklar Chair Expert Advisory Council 1-1749 Portage Avenue Winnipeg, Manitoba R3J 0E6 Dear Colleen Sklar and Members of the Expert Advisory Council: Re: Climate and Green Plan Implementation – Next Priorities for the Expert Advisory Council Thank you for your recommendations and advice regarding the establishment of the greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal for 2018 to 2022. The Council report, Report of the Expert Advisory Council to the Minister of Sustainable Development, A Carbon Savings Account for Manitoba (June 2019), demonstrates the significant work you have undertaken with local, national and international experts and stakeholders to systematically assess emission reduction opportunities across all sectors of the economy, considering our unique circumstances. I am pleased, in return, to provide you with Manitoba’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions Goal for 2018 to 2022, our new policy which clearly reflects the Council’s recommendations. As you are aware, Manitoba is the first jurisdiction in North America to establish a carbon savings account. Establishing an ambitious and evidence-based emissions reduction goal reflective of Manitoba’s unique context is a significant milestone in implementation of the Climate and Green Plan and addressing climate change. As the emissions reduction goal crosses all sectors of the economy, my colleagues and I will work together to deliver a whole-of-government approach in our development of policies, programs and measures to achieve the goal. We will consider the advice and information related to potential initiatives provided by the Expert Advisory Council in our works.

  • Restoring Legitimacy to Environmental Governance in Manitoba
    Restoring Legitimacy to Environmental Governance in Manitoba: The Need for Meaningful Public Participation by Heather Fast A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF LAWS Robson Hall, Faulty of Law University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright @ 2018 by Heather Fast Abstract This thesis uses the concept of legitimacy, a measure of the public’s support of government operations, as a lens through which to approach environmental legal reform in Canada. An analysis of the legitimacy of Manitoba’s environmental regulatory regime as it pertains to the hydroelectric industry is undertaken, with an emphasis on opportunities for public participation. As a result, it is suggested that environmental governance in Manitoba has suffered a significant loss of legitimacy. This indicates that environmental reforms are needed to support meaningful public participation. Based on the components of meaningful public participation recognized by Canadian legal scholars, legal reforms are identified that could be enacted in Manitoba to restore lost legitimacy. It is suggested that the most effective means of restoring legitimacy would be to focus on reforms that clarify the environmental obligations of government and allow citizens to more meaningfully participate in the enforcement and review of environmental protection measures. i Acknowledgements I would like to thank the many people who assisted me during the past year. I am particularly grateful to my advisor, Brenda Gunn, for the many hours she spent editing my thesis drafts. You really helped push my work to the next level. I am also grateful to my reviewers who provided me with valuable feedback.

This is our annual back- to-school issue, so we thought we’d go for a lighter-hearted, upbeat cover story. This is also the second time we’ve had a dog on the cover of our paper in my tenure, which is a neat fact, but that doesn’t mean that we’re shy- ing away from harder stories or ignoring some of the more troubling realities of life in our city. In this issue, we’re covering conversations Black Space Winnipeg hosted in late August about racism and white supremacy. We’re looking back at lessons learned from anti-panhandling campaigns run by the Downtown BIZ. And we’re discussing the importance of designated acces- sible parking spots, and why they’re so vital to Winnipeggers who use them. Our staff and volunteer contributors for this issue have also explored some of the creative ways ideas and tools are shared throughout our city.
