I legislation based on an interim report of a committee missed practically of this afternoon's session. I was that is still holding hearings, of a committee that is over in the Education estimates and I just caught the still going to the people of this province and tail end of some remarks with respect to a proposed pretending to ask them for their opinions on what is new bill being in the works as a result of an interim going on with respect to municipal assessment. The report of the Assessment Review Committee. I am taxpayers have been put to a great deal of expense just wondering whether the Minister is prepared to in order to, hopefully, discover something about release that interim report. municipal assessment. Now based on a report issued back in March, after which a number of hearings MR. CHAIRMAN: The Honourable Minister. have been held, the Minister has told us he is preparing legislation which will be in the House by HON. DOUG GOURLAY (Swan River): Mr. the end of the next week. Yet that committee is out Chairman, as I indicated this afternoon, that I haven't there for what purpose, up in northern Manitoba had a chance to bring this interim report before listening to people after a bill is in the process of Cabinet and there is some legislation being drafted being prepared. I find that totally incredible. We have with respect to the recommendations. I would hope the committee coming back into Winnipeg.

There were a few briefs that latest. hadn't been heard, so they are going to come here and hear those people. MR. SCHROEDER: I wonder whether the Minister If I were one of those people coming to the hearing could tell us when he received that interim report. at this point in time, I must say that I would be questioning the purpose of coming. I would certainly MR. GOURLAY: I can't just recall the exact date. I be questioning the usefulness of the committee from would say perhaps around the first of March. the end of March, from the time it issued its report, and I would certainly be questioning the government MR. SCHROEDER: Has he been in communication in terms of $ecrecy between now and the end of next with the chairman since, that is, in terms of any week. updating of that report? We know that there is a bill in the course of preparation. We know that it is based on a report MR. GOURLAY: I have had two three meetings which was issued at the end of March, and the with the chairman with respect to hearings that are government is not prepared to provide us with a taking place at the present time in northern copy of that report. The government is not prepared Manitoba. I'm not sure of the dates that those to provide the people who go to these hearings in hearings are completed but I believe it's around next northern Manitoba with a copy of that report. I would week or so they're finished. suggest that what you are doing is not only tying one hand behind people's backs, you're tying both hands Could the Minister advise as to MR. SCHROEDER: behind their backs and putting a blindfold over their where the committee will be holding hearings eyes and asking them to come along and talk to the between now and the end of the hearings? Is it committee. Why doesn't the committee or the strictly just up north? government prepare or allow the people to see that report and then when people go to this committee MR. GOURLAY: Yes, they have in Thompson and between now and the end of next week, they can The Pas, I believe. I just can't recall the dates of make some comments based on the interim those meetings which are in early June and then recommendations of the committee? I would strongly there is another meeting in Winnipeg to pick up urge the Minister to do that. presentations that were missed earlier, for anyone that wanted to submit further presentations. MR. GOURLAY: Mr. Chairman, the legislation is based on recommendations that were contained in MR. SCHROEDER: And the bill that is currently the recommendations from the interim report. The being prepared, does the Minister expect to table information supplied at the hearings that are still that in the House shortly? Is it within the next few.• going on, of course, will be important and will be days? given every due consideration. 4421 Thursday, 5 June, 1980 MR. SCHROEDER: Mr. Chairman, the Minister has MR. GOURLAY: Mr. Chairman, I would just like to stated again he is preparing legislation based on an respond that when the main report is tabled from the interim report which was provided to the government Review Commission, it will form the basis of most of at the end of March before which a number of the legislation. This is an interim report, with some hearings were held by that committee. The interim legislation, that will be brought in at this time. government is saying to the people of Manitoba, we will ignore everybody whom we heard after the end MR. CHAIRMAN: I think the Member for Ste. Rose of March of 1980. -(Interjection)- I hear from the still has the floor. background that is not the case. I would suggest then that the Minister table the report immediately so MR. ADAM: Yes, I have other questions to ask but if my colleagues want to talk on this very point I that we can discuss it. I would suggest not only for would accede to them and come back to the us, but also for those people who will appear before assessment part of the . .. that committee between now and the end of next week that that report should be tabled, and I would MR.

WILLIAM JENKINS: Mr. Chairman, I wish to preparing a bill based on an interim report which speak on this issue. Yes, Mr. Chairman, I really can't you're not prepared to table and which these people see the purpose of the Minister holding hearings. It do not have available to them when they go to is, as my colleague has said, that there is proposed discuss matters with a commission which appears to legislation that is being considered on a preliminary have made up its mind on what course of action to report that the Minister evidently has had since take; its made up its mind by the end of March of March, we're now into June, that's two months ago. 1980, and I would suggest to the Minister that the Surely there should have been some decision by balance of the hearings can be nothing short of a Cabinet, some consideration of this preliminary farce. report and now we find that here, in the dying days of the session, we're going to be given a bill on MR.

  • 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.

  • “Just Doing What Needs to Be Done:” Rural Women's Everyday
    “Just doing what needs to be done:” Rural Women’s Everyday Peacebuilding on the Prairies by Jessica Robin Neustaeter A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Manitoba In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Peace and Conflict Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2016 Jessica Robin Neustaeter ABSTRACT Usually bubbling under the surface of the ordinary everyday routines of life, women’s volunteering in their communities, helping out and just doing what needs to be done, represent a significant phenomenon in sustaining and developing human life and civilization. Embedded within their everyday community action is a dialectical learning and cognitive praxis which informs their situated public care practice. Grassroots peacebuilding is dependent on the efforts of volunteers. As well, volunteering itself is a means for building social cohesion, solidarity and trust—factors fundamental to sustainable development and peace. Rural women’s community involvement is situated within the everyday of their diverse communities. There is diversity both within and between rural communities; as well rural women represent a diverse group in regards to age, race, class, ethnicity, language, marital and family status, ability, and religion. Blending participant observation and in-depth interviewing, this ethnographic study explored rural women’s community involvement practice and learning in South-Central Manitoba. This study invited women from across the region; representing a mix of age, race, education, ability, ethnicity, religion and areas of involvement, to share their stories of being involved in their communities. Their narratives revealed a rich story of women’s peacebuilding for individual and community wellbeing fitting into a tradition of rural women’s community development.

  • Bipole III and Keeyask
    ECONOMIC REVIEW OF Bipole III and Keeyask Brad Wall Commissioner November 2020 VOLUME 1 VOLUME 2 VOLUME 3 VOLUME 4 VOLUME 5 VOLUME 6 About This Report This report is based on public documents from the Public Utilities Board and the Clean Environment Commission; internal reviews performed by Manitoba Hydro; documents from Manitoba Hydro and the Government Manitoba; and interviews and/or written submissions of past and present Manitoba Hydro executives, Government of Manitoba current and retired elected members, Government of Manitoba staff, and other stakeholders in the genesis, project plan development, approval and construction of the Keeyask Generating Station and Bipole III Transmission Line and Converter Stations. Evidence cited in this report is noted from the actual documents attached to this report (see Appendix A). Where the actual document cannot be released for reasons of either commercial sensitivity or Cabinet confidentiality, the document is identified and evidence cited in context. The documents identified in the report do not represent every document that was reviewed and considered by the Commission. Access to Manitoba Hydro-Electric Board minutes, internal Manitoba Hydro memorandums, and Cabinet and Cabinet Committee agendas and minutes was a key element of this review and though some of it cannot be released in total, the insights gained were worthy of the limited ability to publish them in their entirety. Interviews were conducted on a non-attributable basis. As a forward-looking report with a focus on the recommendations for future projects of this type, the Commissioner determined that full disclosure was more important than attribution. As such, verbatim transcripts were not made of conversations with the many stakeholders and individuals involved in the projects to identify gaps in organization structure, information flow, and influences on decisions.

  • 'It's Not That the Tories Are Closer in Winnipeg, 1945-1999
    'It's not that the Tories are closer to God, they're furthest from the Devil': Polities and Mennonf tes in Winnipeg, 1945-1999 Joe Friesen, Ryerson University What were the political attitudes of Mennonites in Winnipeg in the latter half of the twentieth century? Had they become increasingly involved in partisan politics?Is there a discernible pattern in Mennonite electoral behaviour during that era? There were still some groups of Mennonites who refused to deal in the affairs of politics and government because they believed it was not in accordance with the teachings of the Bible. Conversely, some Mennonites chose to become very involved politically. Many successfully stood for public office and held positions in government. Others became politically active in different ways. Some joined unions and took leading roles. Mennonite businessmen sat on the side of management in labour relations negotiations. Church members served with the Mennonite Central Committee, pursuing peace initiatives. The community in general expressed its concern for political issues in the pages of the Mennonite press. Through the use of interviews, poll analysis and community newspapers this paper will discuss the entrance of Mennonites into 176 Journal of Mennonite Studies Manitoba's political conversation during the second half of the twentieth century. During the time under survey, approximately one third of Mennonites in Winnipeg belonged to Conference of Mennonites of Canada (also known as General Conference or GC) churches. Another third belonged to Mennonite Brethren (MB) churches and most of the rest belonged to the Evangelical Mennonite Conference (EMC) and Evangelical Mennonite Mission Conference (EMMC) .I These distinctions first began appearing in nineteenth century Russia and continued forming in the first half of the twentieth century in Canada.
