    June 4, 2020 VIA ELECTRONIC FILING AND E-MAIL ([email protected]) Canadian Energy Regulator 517 Tenth Avenue SW Suite 210 Calgary, AB T2R 0A8 Attention: Louise George, Secretary to the Commission Re: Manitoba Minnesota Transmission Project Certificate EC-059, Condition 3 Manitoba Metis Federation Response to CER Correspondence of May 21, 2020 We are legal counsel to the Manitoba Metis Federation Inc. (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.

  • Feb. 18, 2021—To the Honourable Cliff Cullen, Minister of Education
    February 18, 2021 The Honourable Cliff Cullen Minister of Education Legislative Building 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Dear Minister Cullen: River East Transcona School division is the second largest school division in the province. We offer quality education programming to our students while having the lowest cost per pupil in the urban area. Our administration cost cap is currently 2.4%, .3% lower than the government directive of 2.7%. RETSD can do this because of the effective and efficient budgeting process it follows. The division has consistently developed lean budgets that maximize revenue supports to provide for students. Our Board is proud of this accomplishment. As have all school divisions in the province, we recently received your funding announcement. The announcement outlines financial support from the province as well as restrictions and limitations placed on our local school board. The impact of those restrictions and limitations is magnified in our division due to the existence of a fiscally responsible and lean budget. Specifically, RETSD Board of Trustees may not raise local education property tax above the level assessed last year. The province is providing school divisions with a 2% Property Tax Offset Grant (PTOG) to make up the shortfall in revenue. Unfortunately, the 2% PTOG does not adequately address the actual costs the division is facing just to maintain a status quo budgetary position. The provisions of Bill 28 dictate that our employees will receive a 1% salary increase this year. Many of our teachers will also be receiving an additional annual salary increment. Our division is experiencing unprecedented expansion and student population growth.

  • 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”.

  • Report of the Vice-President Advocacy
    TO: UMSU Membership FROM: UMSU VPA, Kristin Smith DATE: Thursday, December 3, 2020 RE: 2020 Annual General Meeting VPA Report Report of the Vice-President Advocacy General Responsibilities Student Senate Caucus (SSC) I co-chair the Student Senate Caucus with UMGSA Vice-President (Academic) Rubel Talukder. We on-boarded the newly elected Senators in May, and distributed the revised Student Senate Caucus Handbook. Since then, we have been meeting on a monthly basis ahead of Senate meetings. Student Senate Caucus offers a venue for senators to voice their concerns about the Senate agenda prior to the Senate meeting, and to articulate questions to be raised at Senate. I construct the SSC agendas through reviewing the Senate agenda for the next meeting, pulling out the most important items for discussion, and distilling the issues in appendices. Senators understand they are encouraged to read the Senate agenda when it comes out to help identify if something should be added. The Student Senate Caucus has been eager in adopting an advocacy role as well, having submitted 2 proposals to the University, led by myself as Caucus co-chair: one for compassionate grading, and another for various measures to improve online learning. The Student Senate Caucus has also successfully filled the majority of Senate Committee seats requiring student representation. Individual Student Cases I have helped many students on individual advocacy concerns since beginning my term at UMSU. Sometimes it is as simple as answering a set of questions, providing advice, or connecting students with another office. Other times, students request that I be their official advocate in a disciplinary case, final grade appeal, admissions appeal, case for special consideration, or a myriad of other issues.

  • Indigenous People and Parliament P. 24 Moving Forward Together
    Canadian eview V olume 39, No. 2 Moving Forward Together: Indigenous People and Parliament p. 24 The Mace currently in use in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan was made in 1906 and used for the first time in March of that year at the opening of the First Session of the First Legislative Assembly. Purchased from Ryrie Bros. Ltd. of Toronto at a cost of $340.00, it is made of heavy gold-plated brass and is about four feet long. The head consists of a Royal Crown with the arches surmounted by a Maltese cross and bears the Royal Coat-of-Arms on the top indicating the Royal Authority. Each side is decorated with a sheaf of wheat, representing the province’s agricultural wealth, a beaver representing Canada and the monogram E.R. VII, representing the sovereign at the time, Edward VII. The shaft and base are ornamented with a shamrock, thistle and rose intertwined. A Latin inscription around the Royal Coat of Arms reads in English, “Edward the Seventh, by the Grace of God of British Isles and Lands beyond the sea which are under British rule, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India”. Monique Lovett Manager of Interparliamentary Relations and Protocol Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan Courtesy of British Columbia Legislative Library Stick Talking BC Legislature, The Canadian Parliamentary Review was founded in 1978 to inform Canadian legislators about activities of the federal, provincial and territorial branches of the Canadian Region of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association and to promote the study of and interest in Canadian parliamentary institutions.

  • 200 Anniversary of the Ontario Legislative Library P. 28 200
    Canadian eview V olume 39, No. 3 th 200 Anniversary of the Ontario Legislative Library p. 28 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/FALL 2016 Manitoba’s original Mace was carved out of the hub of a Red River cart wheel by a soldier with the Wolseley Expedition Force (sent out to deal with the Riel Rebellion in 1869). This Mace was used for a period of 13 years between March 15, 1871 and March 12, 1884. In December 1873, when a fire destroyed the first home of the Legislature, the Mace was the only object to survive the flames. It remains on display in the Speaker’s office to this day. Manitoba’s current gold-plated Mace debuted in 1884. Standing five feet tall and weighing 28 pounds, it repeats themes found on the original Mace. The head of the current Mace displays four emblems: the Rose, the Thistle, the Harp, and the Fleur-de-lis. These same emblems are found engraved on the staff of the Mace, with the exception of an Irish Shamrock replacing the Harp. On the top, a crown symbolizes the Monarch, while four beavers represent the province’s place as part of Canada. Finally, an orb and a cross represent the spiritual and religious aspects of Manitoba life. This Mace was made to celebrate the opening of the second Legislative building. The initials V.R., representing the reigning Monarch Queen Victoria, are engraved on its head. The Table Officers have a tradition of rubbing various symbols on the Mace with their robe sleeves while waiting for the Speaker’s Parade to start, in order to summon good luck for the sitting day.
