  • 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.

  • Weekly Economic Digest
    Vol. 2, Issue 01 Province of Manitoba: Setting the Stage for 2021 Chris Ferris, Senior Economist January 8, 2021 Bottom Line Job creation and protection of vulnerable Manitobans will be the focus of the Manitoba government in 2021. Details of the plan are highlighted in the January 5, 2021 cabinet shuffle release. At the same time, the province’s evolving response to COVID-19 began late in December 2020, with the administration of a vaccine program. This is a good time to review issues on the Manitoba horizon and consider the economic outlook for 2021 in light of provincial government plans. Manitoba Finance released their 2020/21 Mid-Year Report - Fiscal and Economic Update on December 17, 2020. This report outlines the Manitoba Economic Review and Outlook and the impact of COVID-19 on provincial revenues and expenditures. It is clear that the better we can control the COVID-19 outbreak, the better economic results we are likely to see in 2021. Manitoba Government Cabinet Shuffle The January 5, 2021 Manitoba government cabinet shuffle split two departments into four as part of the focus on protecting vulnerable Manitobans and creating job opportunities. As highlighted by media outlets, the Health department will be divided into two portfolios: • Health and Senior’s Care (Minister Heather Stefanson), and • Mental Health, Wellness and Recovery (Minister Audrey Gordon). Economic Development and Training has also been split into two departments: • Economic Development and Jobs (Minister Ralph Eichler), • Advanced Education, Skills and Immigration (Minister Wayne Ewasko). COVID-19 Vaccines in Early Stages of Distribution As we start 2021, we are seeing a ray of light at the end of the tunnel.
