March 19, 2020 Honourable Brian Pallister Premier of Manitoba
March 19, 2020 Honourable Brian Pallister Premier of Manitoba [email protected] Honourable Scott Fielding Minister of Finance [email protected] Mr. Wab Kinew Leader of the Official Opposition [email protected] Mr. Dougald Lamont Leader of the Manitoba Liberal Party [email protected] Dear Premier Pallister, Minister Fielding, Mr. Wab Kinew, and Mr. Dougald Lamont, I am writing you to follow up on my letter of March 13, 2020, regarding the need to immediately implement at least 14 days of job-protected leave for all Manitoba workers in light of the COVID-19 outbreak. We can all appreciate that in a public health crisis such as this, decisive action is needed by our elected officials as new information comes to light and situations change. Manitobans are worried, and they are looking to their government for support to survive the financial and economic uncertainty ahead. Over the coming days and months, governments will need to enact a number of measures to protect the economic security of workers, families, and communities, including our most vulnerable community members. I trust that you are working hard on those very things right now. With such a rapidly evolving and urgent situation, the Manitoba Federation of Labour is repeating its call for the Government of Manitoba to immediately implement at least 14 days of job-protected leave for all working Manitobans who need it. Since I last wrote you, a number of things have happened with respect to workplaces and workers throughout our province. As you know, in addition to K – 12 public schools being ordered to close as of this coming Monday, all licensed child care centres are now suspending services effective end-of- day tomorrow.

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.

Manitoba Provincial Party Support and Leadership
MANITOBA PROVINCIAL PARTY SUPPORT AND LEADERSHIP March 2021 Probe Research Omnibus Survey For More Key Findings Information: After becoming Manitoba's most popular political party in December, the NDP’s lead over the governing Progressive Conservatives continues to widen, according to a new Probe Research poll conducted for the Winnipeg Free Press. The opposition’s lead over the PCs province-wide has expanded to six percentage points. In Winnipeg, where many election campaigns are won or lost, the NDP has a 22-point advantage over the PCs. The NDP has gained much of its current strength from the province’s female voters (48% would now support the NDP), from younger Manitobans (46% of those under 35 favour the NDP) as well as from less affluent and more highly educated voters (48% among those earning less than $50,000 annually and 51% among those with completed post-secondary education). Seventeen per cent of all Manitobans surveyed are presently undecided. Scott MacKay Regionally, the PCs enjoy their greatest levels of support outside of Winnipeg (50% vs. 32% NDP). Within the President capital city itself, the governing party is now trailing in all regions of Winnipeg, including the southern suburbs. (204) 926-6565 [email protected] Party leadership is also now problematic for the PCs with almost two-thirds of the province's voters voicing strong (46%) or moderate (16%) criticism of the leadership of PC Premier Brian Pallister. Importantly, fully one in three Probe Research Inc. voters who cast PC ballots in the last provincial election (34%) now disapprove of the leadership of Premier 603 – 191 Lombard Ave.

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 >.

Paul Martin Premier Gary Doer Prime Minister Legislative Building House of Commons Room 204, 450 Broadway Ave. Parliament Buildings Winnipeg, Manitoba Ottawa, Ontario R3C 0V8 K1A 0A6 Manitoba’s in Constitutional Crisis Mr. Prime Minister and Premier Doer I would normally open a letter to the Prime Minister of this great country and because of it being co-addressed to a Premier of a Province with the greatest respect, irrespective of political stripes, unfortunately this will not be the case in this writing. You Mr. Prime Minister and Premier will both clearly recall my February 29, 2004 letters to your respective attentions, WRT the brutalization of my many neighbours who reside in the Upper Red River Valley. This before the successful minority victory in the last federal election by you Mr. Martin, and with Mr. Doer’s directed misconduct and sheltering of critical records continuing in Manitoba. You will also clearly recall the planned “visit to Manitoba” by as yet, an unelected PM for a “non political, but important Manitoba announcement”. Mr. Martin you will be surprised that while Premier Doer hid out at the opening of the BGH expansion project in Brandon Manitoba, your Challenger jet was held from final runway clearance and back to Ottawa, because of an inbound twin engine craft from northern Manitoba. Sir, can you imagine my profound disappointment of being 20 minutes early and not 30 – 45 minutes early and back into Winnipeg? Thus not only not being personally able to ask whether “you did the right thing, while in Manitoba” in advance of your departure out.
