She said personalities drive the Centre and make it what it is today—20 years after its formal establishment by two of those personalities, Drs. Noralou and Les Roos, the founding directors. Today, MCHP is internationally renowned for its use of administrative data in health research and its expertise in knowledge translation. Th e Manitoba Centre for Health Policy is a research unit in the Department of Community Health Sciences in the University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Medicine. Research scientists and their collaborators at the Centre study health services, population and public health, and the social determinants of health using data based on the entire population of Manitoba. With approximately half of their funding coming from the Manitoba government, much of the research is oriented towards answering questions of interest to policy makers. Th e Centre has had this dual mission from its fi rst contract with the Department of Health. It now has formal associations with fi ve government departments and 11 regional health authorities to address research questions aimed at improving the health of Manitoba’s citizens. Over the 20 years that MCHP has existed, its success in research endeavours has attracted national and international attention. In 2007, MCHP received visitors from Statistics Canada, Alberta, Ontario, Malaysia, and Australia to learn more about the Centre’s operational model (Martens, 2008; Manitoba Centre for Health Policy and Evaluation, 2008; Manitoba Centre for Health Policy and Evaluation, 2007b). Additionally, the year prior Dr. Martens received speaking invitations from nine of 10 provinces, and Drs. Noralou and Les Roos spent their sabbatical in Australia working with groups in Sidney, Adelaide, Melbourne, and New Zealand (Manitoba Centre for Health Policy and Evaluation, 2007a). Articles written by the Centre investigators explaining their use of administrative databases have been cited as often as 400 times (Lewis, Martens, & Barre, 2009). Th is interest in MCHP’s work and

  • Selecting Selinger: the 2009 Leadership Race and the Future of NDP Conventions in Manitoba∗
    Selecting Selinger: The 2009 Leadership Race and the Future of NDP Conventions in Manitoba∗ Jared J. Wesley, University of Manitoba [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Abstract In a delegated convention held in October, 2009, the Manitoba New Democratic Party (NDP) selected former Finance Minister Greg Selinger to replace Canada's longest-serving and most popular premier, Gary Doer. Official appeals filed by the victor’s chief rival, Steve Ashton, and persistent criticism of the process in the media raised significant concerns over the method by which the new premier was selected. These complaints proved a fleeting fixation of the media, and have not harmed the NDP’s popularity or affected the smooth transition of the premiership from Doer to Selinger. Yet, questions persist as to whether the 2009 leadership race marked the last delegated convention in the history of the Manitoba New Democratic Party. This paper examines the 2009 leadership race in the context of contests past, analyzing the list of criticisms directed at the process. Grounding its findings in the comments of delegates to the 2009 Convention, it concludes with a series of probable choices for the party, as it begins the process of considering reforms to its leadership selection process. Leading contenders for adoption include a pure one-member, one-vote system and a modified version similar to that of the federal NDP. ∗ Funding for the 2009 Manitoba NDP Convention Study was provided by the Faculty of Arts, Duff Roblin Professorship, and Department of Political Studies at the University of Manitoba, and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Politics and Governance.
