INTRODUCTION anitoba’s 197 municipalities were the subject of contention and legislative focus during the Second Session of the M Fortieth Legislature. The New Democratic Party (NDP) government introduced Bill 33-The Municipal Modernization Act (Municipal Amalgamations)1 which began the restructuring of small municipalities. The objective behind Bill 33 was to modernize governance through amalgamations of municipalities with populations below 1,000. The Municipal Modernization Act altered the existing process for amalgamations contained within The Municipal Act2 by requiring all affected municipalities to present amalgamation plans and by-passing the usual investigative and reporting stages. The Bill encountered significant opposition in both the Legislative Assembly and the public discourse. Notably, few voices opposed municipal restructuring. Rather, the criticism was levelled at the lack of consultative processes in the time leading up to the introduction of the Bill and in the implementation of the amalgamations.

  • Reforming Education: from Origins to Outcomes

    Reforming Education: from Origins to Outcomes

    Reforming Education Ambitious programs of education reform have been introduced by many governments around the world. Reforming Education is an important study of large-scale education reform in five different settings: England, New Zealand, the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Manitoba and the US state of Minnesota. The book looks at a variety of reforms, covering: • school choice; • charter schools; • increased testing of students; • stricter curriculum guidelines; • local school management. Drawing from theoretical and empirical work in education, political theory, organizational theory and public administration, Reforming Education provides a clearly developed conceptual framework for analyzing reform programs. The author reviews the political origins of the reforms, the process of adop- tion into law, the implementation processes used to support the reforms, and the results of the reforms for students, schools and communities. The explicit political and comparative orientation of Reforming Education enables readers to look at reforms across different settings and to make judgements about the assumptions, processes and outcomes in large-scale reforms. It will be of interest to those working in education policy or public policy. Benjamin Levin is Deputy Minister of Education and Training for the Province of Manitoba. He is also a Professor of Educational Administration at the University of Manitoba. His research interests are in education policy, politics and economics.

    News Release

    Press Release April 24, 2014 For Immediate Release Habitat for Humanity Resolution Passes Unanimously Habitat for Humanity’s important work helps create affordable housing: Mitchelson Today, Progressive Conservative MLA Bonnie Mitchelson (River East) sponsored a Private Member’s Resolution celebrating the good work of Habitat for Humanity. It received unanimous support at the Manitoba Legislature. “I am proud to have presented this resolution to honour the decades of great works done by Habitat for Humanity in Manitoba,” said River East MLA Bonnie Mitchelson, the resolution’s sponsor. “The work they do in more than 15 communities across Manitoba builds much needed affordable housing, and helps break the cycle of poverty far too many live in.” Habitat for Humanity Manitoba was first active in Manitoba in 1985 with the construction of a home in Winkler. Since then, more than 300 homes have been built through the support of community donations, volunteer efforts of more than 2,000 people each year and by 40 staff members. “It is particularly important for us when so many of our volunteers and board members toil tirelessly with little recognition to see the way their work is appreciated by the most important body in the province,” Habitat for Humanity CEO Sandy Hopkins said. “I am deeply grateful the organization has been recognized in this fashion and we thank Bonnie for presenting the resolution.” Safe, affordable housing is a critical component to building stronger communities. Through Habitat for Humanity, Manitobans who may not otherwise be able to own their own home gain self-esteem and pride that comes with home ownership through a no interest, no down payment mortgage.

    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.
