  • Manitoba's Changes to Workers Compensation Legislation
    Manitoba’s Changes to Workers Compensation Legislation Regarding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Analysis and Legislative Process N O R A F I E N * I. INTRODUCTION orkers Compensation provides benefits to employees injured at work. Compensation is provided both for physical and W psychological injuries, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD]. In most jurisdictions, the onus is on the worker to show that their PTSD is work-related. Recently, a number of provincial governments and political parties have introduced bills to change that. Several years ago, Alberta passed a bill that created a presumption that an emergency worker’s PTSD was work-related, unless the contrary could be shown. Ontario just recently passed similar provisions. Since then, similar bills have been introduced in legislatures throughout the country. But last year, Manitoba went a step further and legislated the presumption for all workers covered by Workers Compensation. Public awareness about mental illnesses like PTSD has been increasing, along with the recognition that stigma is a barrier to treatment. Political parties have presented presumption bills as a way to reduce stigma and speed access to treatment for work-related PTSD. These are of course admirable goals, so admirable in fact that the bills do not always receive much scrutiny from opposing parties. One can speculate that a political party does not want to appear unsupportive of emergency workers, who * J.D. (2016). 2 MANITOBA LAW JOURNAL| VOLUME 40 ISSUE 2 are quite highly regarded by the public – certainly more so than the average politician. Manitoba’s legislature passed Bill 35, The Workers Compensation Amendment Act (Presumption re Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Other Amendments)1 [Bill 35], into law last year.

  • Condominium News and Views
    Condominium News and Views To the Members and Friends of The Manitoba Chapter • November 2013 A HiGH-Rise CONDO ComPLEX Goes TotaLLY NoN-smoKING In June 2013, one of the Winnipeg’s earliest high-rise condo complexes voted overwhelmingly to adopt a totally smoke-free environment - not just in the common areas, but in all individual living units and balconies as well. It was a bold step, and one of the first of its kind in Canada. The Board of Directors thought that other Boards and Owners may be interested in knowing how this was done. The following is a brief description of the steps that were taken, some of the bumps in the road, and how the issues were resolved by everyone as matters progressed. A few obstacles were very apparent from the beginning. A 75% endorsement of those attending the next Annual General Meeting was needed to amend the by-laws. The Board was fairly confident that could be achieved. However, an 80% endorsement of all of the Owners, even those not living in Manitoba, was required to amend the Declaration. The Board embarked on a campaign to achieve both of these objectives. Board minutes during the winter outlined the plan, the Board’s unanimous endorsement of it, and outlined three points that were critically important: • The adverse effects of inhaling second-hand smoke are beyond dispute; • Careless smoking poses a fire hazard to all residents and visitors; • Legal advisors across the country are warning Boards and Owners that they may be financially liable for failing to protect non-smokers from the effects of drifting second hand smoke That started the discussion amongst the Owners in the hallways, the elevators and by telephone.

    Public Consultations Summary For a New Liquor and Gaming Regulatory Framework in Manitoba Liquor and Gaming Regulatory Consultation Committee James Allum, Chair Winter 2013 Hon. Minister Dave Chomiak Minister charged with the administration of The Gaming Control Act Hon. Minister Jim Rondeau Minister charged with the administration of The Liquor Control Act Hon. Minister Steve Ashton Minister charged with the administration of The Manitoba Lotteries Corporation Act Dear Ministers: Please find attached a written summary of the consultations for a New Liquor and Gaming Regulatory Framework in Manitoba, held over the fall of 2012. It was my pleasure to serve as Chairperson for this process. I wish to thank my fellow MLAs for their assistance in the process: Thomas Nevakshonoff (Interlake), Frank Whitehead (The Pas) and Melanie Wight (Burrows). I also wish to thank the talented and helpful staff from the Gaming Control Commission and the Liquor Control Commission, without whom this process would not have been possible. Our mandate was to start a conversation with Manitobans about designing a new regulatory framework for liquor and gaming. To this end, we provided a public forum for comments about existing rules as well as ideas for improvement and for ideas that ran along the guidelines of: reducing red tape, enhancing consumer choice, and ensuring public safety and social responsibility, including opportunities for community input. Manitobans responded. We heard 43 presentations at public meetings held across the province, received 45 written submissions, and held 11 private meetings with various stakeholders, as well as receiving responses to an online survey. At every opportunity, we advised the participants that our job was to listen carefully to their views and to pass on what we heard.

  • A Case Study of the Healthy Child Manitoba Policy Strategy
    An Analysis of a Horizontal Public Policy Approach Involving Education: A Case Study of the Healthy Child Manitoba Policy Strategy by Jean-Vianney Auclair A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Faculty of Education University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2018 by Jean-Vianney Auclair AN ANALYSIS OF THE HEALTHY CHILD MANITOBA POLICY STRATEGY i Abstract Governmental institutions are now called to address social problems that have an increased level of complexity. For this reason, innovative collaborative policy approaches are being implemented to find better ways of identifying policy solutions. Insights from the scholarly literature in the field of public administration indicate that horizontal policy approaches involving the participation of multiple policy actors, in the form of networks, represent a promising approach for addressing wicked problems. The Government of Manitoba implemented in year 2000 a horizontal policy strategy, referred to as Healthy Child Manitoba, reflecting the holistic development of children. This cross-departmental policy strategy was designed to address several factors located inside and outside of schools that not only have an influence on the broad development of children but and also on their success in schools. Its main purpose was to improve the well-being of children. This research study concerns itself with the analysis of the Healthy Child Manitoba Policy Strategy from an educational perspective. The central question being examined in this study was to determine how the policy strategy evolved over time as an intersectoral policy strategy and what were its benefits and challenges perceived by key policy actors as it relates to the field of education.
