  • 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.

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.

Contained in the report are the summary of meetings both internal and external, list of media appearances, reports on solidarity and advocacy work, and services updates. We enter into the final weeks of our mandate with an awareness of our successes and failures. As outlined in this report and others, we have made several steps towards the goals set out by our members. We should be proud of what has been accomplished by our members, and appreciate the positive energy invested in organizing towards our common goals. Equally, we must also hold our shortcomings in mind as we prepare for the coming year. To that end, the final versions of this report will contain “Failure Reports”, written by members of our union. These reports will outline instances where we have failed, created by our shortcomings in any number of areas, and the necessary steps we must all take to improve. The intention of these reports is not to demean ourselves, or focus on the negative: instead, they are opportunities for radical transparency and honestly with our membership in order to ensure consistent progress.

  • The Future of Private Member's Bills at the Manitoba Legislative Assembly
    The Private Member Battleground: The Future of Private Member’s Bills at the Manitoba Legislative Assembly JASON STITT I. INTRODUCTION iven the advent of fixed-date elections,1 Private Member’s Bills (PMBs) from the Opposition will increase in volume for political G positioning purposes during election years. I will use the term “political positioning” to refer to a politician or political party seeking a favorable situation or circumstance in relation to power in the governmental or public affairs of the Province. This paper will draw upon data from the past 30 years of legislative sessions (1982 – 2012), spanning nine Legislatures and 36 sessions and relies on simple statistical analysis and evidence from Hansard and the media. The author will attempt to survey historical patterns in the number of PMBs introduced from session to session over the past 30 years and speculates as to how fixed-election dates may affect those patterns. Given the recent imposition of fixed- election dates in 2008, this paper predicts that a more stable pattern will develop in terms of the volume of PMB introductions in the Manitoba Legislature by Opposition parties preparing for a general election. This paper anticipates that Opposition parties will focus their PMB efforts on election years in the Legislature in response to the recently fixed political cycles in Manitoba. B.A. (University of Brandon), J.D. (2015) 1 The Elections Act, SM 2006, c 15; CCSM c E30 s 49.1(1).

Our attrition rate remains extremely low – less than 1 percent – also amongst the lowest in Canada. This is something to be proud of! Our First Five Years of Practice committee continues to be active and plan events. Drs. Kiet Do and Melanie McCannell are co-chairs of this group. Events included several CPD sessions in our MCFP Boardroom on topics ranging from Addictions to EMR Tips and Tools. We are pleased to offer the third annual “First Five Years of Practice” luncheon at this year’s ASA (Thursday, April 16). We have also begun efforts to provide some infrastructure and networking opportunities for our International Medical Graduate (IMG) members and are pleased to offer the inaugural IMG Networking Breakfast at this year’s ASA (Thursday, April 16).
