  • 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.

    Legislating Jordan’s Principle: An Indirect Success ADAM NATHANSON I. INTRODUCTION t age four, Jordan Anderson passed away in the hospital. He never lived in A a home environment. Several years passed before Dr. Jon Gerrard requested to set aside the ordinary business of the Manitoba Legislative Assembly to make this a matter of urgent public importance. To some members of the House, there remained no greater concern than the crisis within Manitoba‘s Child and Family Services divisions. Children were not being treated equally, denied the love of their families, and dying in the system. Notwithstanding this exigency, the Speaker of the House deemed Dr. Gerrard‘s discussion as not pressing enough to give the matter immediate attention. Three days later, on 24 November 2008, the Liberal party reintroduced The Jordan‘s Principle Implementation Act.1 The bill never made it to second reading. Six months prior, the bill‘s predecessor of the same title did not make it past second reading.2 The names, preambles, definitions, and provisions of both bills remained identical. This paper identifies the problems leading to Jordan‘s Principle, as well as Dr. Gerrard‘s connection with the issue. Discussion will focus on the reception of Bill 203 in the Legislature, the federal-provincial agreement and terms of reference to implement Jordan‘s Principle in Manitoba, the September 2008 House Resolution, and examples of Jordan‘s Principle in action. Weaving through this fabric is a virtuous idea: children‘s needs should be placed first when faced with jurisdictional disputes between governments. Looking through the provisions of both bills, however, one sees a legislative solution many in the Legislature labelled pointless.
