  • Apology Legislation: Should It Be Safe to Apologize in Manitoba? an Assessment of Bill 202
    Apology Legislation: Should it be Safe to Apologize in Manitoba? An Assessment of Bill 202 LEANDRO ZYLBERMAN n 12 April 2007, Liberal Leader Dr. Jon Gerrard introduced Bill 217 at the O5th Session of Manitoba’s 38th Legislature.1 The bill—also known as the Apology Act—allows a person to make an apology without it constituting an admission of legal liability. The following will assess Dr. Gerrard’s bill, later re- introduced as Bill 202, to determine its merit and possible effects if passed. Prior to doing so however, a brief discussion of the various forms of apologies and their importance will ensue. It is necessary to first understand this to properly assess the bill’s value. This paper will also present a survey of apology legislation in the United States, Australia, and Canada, including policy considerations throughout. Finally, a discussion of Manitoba’s bill will follow, contemplating its benefits and disadvantages, to determine its merit and, consequently, whether it ought to be introduced in the province. I. INTRODUCTION: THE IMPORTANCE OF APOLOGIZING Prior to embarking upon a discussion of apology legislation, it is necessary to understand a few basic principles. Doing so will bring the significance and requirements of such legislation to light. First, it is imperative to analyze the different types of apologies and their importance as, depending on what form an apology takes, its effect will vary. Second, analyzing the substance of apologies is necessary to understanding their effectiveness. There are two types of apologies, public and private. Government apologies are a good example of the former, since they are made in public for public purposes.
