    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.

    Eugene Kostyra Memorial Fund A bit more about Eugene: Eugene Michael Kostyra was born on June 19, 1947, to parents Albert and Jean Kostyra (Winnipeg). Eugene attended Ralph Brown Elementary School, Isaac Newton Junior High School and St. Johns High School. While Eugene did not initially complete high school, he went on to obtain his GED and, after retiring, received an honourary high school diploma from St. Johns, where he is celebrated as a distinguished alumni. Eugene first worked as a clerk-typist and later as a journeymen electrician, before getting involved in the labour movement and the New Democratic Party (NDP) – movements to which he would go on to dedicate much of his life, working tirelessly to make life better for people and build a more just and equitable world. Eugene first ran for the NDP in 1981 and was elected as the MLA for the north-end constituency of Seven Oaks; he was re-elected in 1986. As part of Howard Pawley’s government, he held numerous Cabinet positions, among them Culture, Urban Affairs, Housing, Industry and Finance. Eugene later served as the Regional Director for the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) in Manitoba, and then as a senior advisor to Premier Gary Doer, heading-up the government’s important community and economic development committee of cabinet. Throughout his career, Eugene worked in senior roles on countless election campaigns and served as a trusted advisor and mentor to many NDP politicians and activists. Eugene provided critical support to numerous important community projects, and generously shared his experience and expertise with unions, community organizations, co-ops and credit unions.

    And Justice for All-Bill 47, the Legal Aid Services Society of Manitoba Amendments Act

    And Justice for All-Bill 47, The Legal Aid Services Society of Manitoba Amendments Act JUDY F. EAGLE I. INTRODUCTION he Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, addressed the importance of maintaining the public's T confidence in our justice institutions so as not to betray the promise of a just society.1 To achieve this, McLachlin C.J.C. suggested that focus on three factors in particular would be critical: (1) ensuring the high quality of our justice system; (2) ensuring access to our justice system; and (3) upholding the fundamental values that underlie our legal system. Chief Justice McLachlin further stated that: "The finest justice system in the world is a failure if people cannot use it. ,,2 One of the greatest challenges in attempting to provide fair and universal access to justice is that of providing adequate legal aid to individuals who would have difficulty, or would otherwise be unable to obtain legal counsel due to the costs. Government funding is becoming inadequate for these individuals-as due to budgetary considerations, despite serious legal problems, they are denied assistance. Other problems arise when private practitioners refuse legal aid work due to the related economic burden. Work performed by staff legal aid lawyers is underfunded and unrecognized, and first in line to be affected by financial cuts. The outcomes for many people in low income brackets will hinge upon the degree of expertise or knowledge available to them, and upon the degree of legal access entitlement as afforded by case law and legislation,3 and unfortunately, many often have no alternative but to represent themselves.
