We do not have any problem with that million to the taxpayers of Manitoba. Just this last thought. Maybe the Premier does. month his own new Minister of Health (Mr. Praznik) said: Generally speaking, our home care system is I would like to ask a further question in light of the relatively well run on the cost side. fact of the position of Manitoba seniors, and today Mrs. Duval said that you are a dictator in the way in which Who was telling the people the truth, the Premier last you are making this decision, that it is despicable that year when he said he would save $I 0 million or the you are making this decision to go to a profit system. Minister of Health a couple of weeks ago? These are her words. not mine. In light of the fact that the Mennonite Central Committee, the Catholic Hon. Gary Filmon (Premier): Madam Speaker, of Church, the United Church, the Anglican Church last course the member opposite, in quoting from the news year in the public hearings all recommended against release that was put out by the union today, makes the going to a profithome care system, why is the Premier comparison of $I0 million for privatizing an entire denying the wishes of the public, the clients and the system versus half-a-million dollars fo r privatizing 25 churches across Manitoba with his ideological percent of two quadrants. Clearly there might be more decision? economies of scale, but the department in its wisdom, after public consultation and various discussions, chose Mr. Filmon: Madam Speaker, without accepting the not to go with the fullprivatization, the full contracting truthfulness of any of the preamble, I would say that the out. I would think that the member opposite would be main reason that we would be looking at opportunities supportive of that. for being able to save a half million dollars is so that we can direct that half-million dollars into better patient Mr. Doer: Madam Speaker, I was quoting from the care, that we can provide better services fo r the people Premier's own words of last year that have been of Manitoba who require those health care services. I contradicted by his new Minister of Health. The cannot fo r the life of me imagine how New Democrats government's own advisory committee, the Connie can reason that that half-million dollars not being able Curran committee, Dr. Evelyn Shapiro, Manitoba's to be put into better services will somehow improve the seniors, all of which had examined the issue of profit in quality of care in our province. our home care system, examined costs and quality, have all come to the same conclusion that when you look at both costs and quality of services, a profit home Home Care Program care system is not desirable for Manitobans. Privatization Why has this Premier approved a private profit Mr. Dave Chomiak (Kildonan): Madam Speaker, contract that runs contrary to the advice that he since last year and since the Premier has changed his received by all the committees in his Department of Minister of Health-and the Minister of Health (Mr. Health that advised against it? Praznik) seems to have a new philosophy; at least he now supports home care publicly-still the government Mr. Filmon: Madam Speaker, because it saves half-a­ has persisted in privatizing a portion of home care. The million dollars for the taxpayers of Manitoba and government is privatizing food services. The provides an equivalent level of service. I would think government has privatized the home oxygen service. that those are things that everybody would be The government is privatizing the public lab system and supportive of, including New Democrats, no matter is on the way to privatizing the home care equipment. how convoluted their thinking is.

  • Manitoba's Progressive Conservative Party
    Manitoba’s Progressive Conservative Party: A “Great Renewal” or Continued Disarray? Paper presented to the Roblin Professorship Conference - Manitoba Politics, Government and Policy into the 21st Century November 2008 Draft Working Paper – Please do no cite without permission from the author Kelly L. Saunders, Ph.D. Department of Political Science Brandon University Brandon, MB [email protected] I. Introduction At the annual general meeting of the Manitoba Progressive Conservative Party held last spring, leader Hugh McFadyen acknowledged that while it had had some disappointing setbacks, the Party was nonetheless on the verge of a “great renewal”. In light of the Party’s diminishing fortunes over the past decade, and most recently in the May 2007 election when it suffered its worst electoral showing since 1953, McFadyen’s attempts to instill hope in his Party’s faithful is understandable. Whether the Party is simply experiencing the ebb and flow natural to all political organizations, or is suffering from a deeper, more serious malaise, however, remains disputable. What is clear is that the Conservatives, as they enter the 21st century, are at a turning point in their history. The extent to which it is able to overcome its current woes, and be viewed as a credible and realistic alternative to the governing New Democrats by a wider proportion of Manitobans, is the fundamental question before the Party today. It is also the focus of this paper. In addressing the varied challenges confronting the P.C. Party as it enters the new millennium, the paper will draw on interviews with party insiders as well as a variety of primary and secondary documents1.

  • The Manitoba Provencial Flag and British Cultural Hegemony In
    The Flag of Our Fathers? The Manitoba Provincial Flag and British Cultural Hegemony in Manitoba, 1870–1966 David W. Grebstad Introduction In February 2015, Canada celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the adoption of the Canadian flag. Since its inception, the prevailing narrative of the advent of the modern Canadian flag describes the event as an important, iconic stage of nationalist evolution from British colony to independent nation. At the moment of its genesis, however, this was not a universal sentiment; the detractors of the new Canadian flag were legion. The debate surrounding the adoption of the flag was acrimonious and fierce, and in the end only the defection of the Québec caucus of the Progressive Conservative Party to support the governing Liberal Party’s new flag design ensured that it was adopted at all. The story of the national flag debate, as the episode came to be known, is well-trodden ground; less well known is the reaction in several provinces to the lack of British symbolism in the new national flag. Shortly after the modern Canadian flag was hoisted for the first time on Parliament Hill, the provinces of Ontario and Manitoba adopted provincial flags that retained British symbolism in the form of a modified Red Ensign; a design which had been used in both official and unofficial capacities as the national flag of Canada for several decades. This paper will focus on a little known chapter in Canadian history—the adoption of the provincial flag of Manitoba as a protest against the new Canadian flag. In the year and a half following the adoption of the modern Canadian flag, the people of Manitoba engaged in their own short but turbulent debate about the creation of a unique provincial flag.
