An Interview with the Justice Minister and Attorney General of Manitoba†
INTERVIEWS An Interview with the Justice Minister and Attorney General of Manitoba† T H E H O N O U RABLE ANDREW SWAN I. ROLE AS HOUSE LEADER BPS: The reason we wanted to do this interview is from the process point of view, the past session seemed to be the most remarkable one in about a decade. It was an extraordinary example of the Opposition’s ability to put a spanner in the works. The Opposition extended this session, forced the government to make some compromise in terms of scheduling when things would be. Can you give our readers just a background on your rise to House Leader. What the job is about? AS: I was appointed House Leader after the summer of 2013, when there was a cabinet shuffle. The Premier asked if I would take on the role. I was not that surprised as traditionally House Leader has gone along with the role of the Attorney General. I guess they presume that the House Leader who has to be reasoned and negotiate, often those would be qualities you would hope to have in the lawyer who fills the role of the Attorney General. So I wasn’t surprised. I had served as the unofficial or backup house leader for Jennifer Howard, who was both house leader and Finance Minister in the last session. So I would spell her off and I would † This interview was conducted by Bryan P. Schwartz and Jessica Davenport in June 2014. Andrew Swan was appointed the Minister of Justice and Manitoba’s Attorney General in 2009.

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.

Reforming Education: from Origins to Outcomes
Reforming Education Ambitious programs of education reform have been introduced by many governments around the world. Reforming Education is an important study of large-scale education reform in five different settings: England, New Zealand, the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Manitoba and the US state of Minnesota. The book looks at a variety of reforms, covering: • school choice; • charter schools; • increased testing of students; • stricter curriculum guidelines; • local school management. Drawing from theoretical and empirical work in education, political theory, organizational theory and public administration, Reforming Education provides a clearly developed conceptual framework for analyzing reform programs. The author reviews the political origins of the reforms, the process of adop- tion into law, the implementation processes used to support the reforms, and the results of the reforms for students, schools and communities. The explicit political and comparative orientation of Reforming Education enables readers to look at reforms across different settings and to make judgements about the assumptions, processes and outcomes in large-scale reforms. It will be of interest to those working in education policy or public policy. Benjamin Levin is Deputy Minister of Education and Training for the Province of Manitoba. He is also a Professor of Educational Administration at the University of Manitoba. His research interests are in education policy, politics and economics.

A Prescription in the Public Interest? Bill 207, the Medical Amendment Act
A Prescription in the Public Interest? Bill 207, The Medical Amendment Act THERESA VANDEAN DANYLUK I.1N1RODUCTION ''when there are [private members'] proposals that the government finds in the public interest, I think there is a more recent developing interest to work together and get these proposals 1 moving." Generally, the passage of Private Members' Bills ("PMB") 1 into law is a rare feat for opposition members and government backbenchers ("private members"). In the Manitoba Legislature, this statement is particularly true-since 1992, while 141 PMBs were formulated, 88 of which were printed and introduced in the House, only four subsequently became law.3 It should, however, be noted that these figures do not account for PMBs which, after being introduced by private members but not passed, are introduced and subsequently passed in whole or in part through government legislation. Interview of Hon. Gord Mackintosh, Attorney General and Government House Leader, by Theresa Danyluk (6 October 2005) in Winnipeg, Manitoba. A private members' bill is a bill presented to the House by either a government backbencher or an opposition member. There are private members' public bills; dealing with general legislation, and private members' private bills; used most commonly for the incorporation of an organization seeking powers, which cannot be granted mder The Cmporations Act, or for amendments to existing Private Acts of Incorporation. See Manitoba, Legislative Assembly, "Private Bills, Process for Passage of a Private Bill in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoban online: The Legislative Assembly of Manitoba <http://www.gov.mb.ca/legislature/bills/privatebillguidelines.html >.

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.
