    Bill 33 –The Municipal Modernization Act (Municipal Amalgamations) JESSICA DAVENPORT & G E R R I T THEULE I. 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. Neither the B.A. (Hons), J.D. (2015). The authors would like to thank Dr. Bryan Schwartz and the anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments on this work. J.D.

  • 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.

    His Honour the Honourable Philip S. Lee C.M., O.M. Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba Room 235, Legislative Building Winnipeg, Manitoba R3C 0V8 May It Please Your Honour: I have the privilege of presenting for the information of Your Honour the Annual Report of the Department of Infrastructure and Transportation for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012. Respectfully submitted, ‘Original signed by’ Honourable Steve Ashton Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation Annual Report Page 2 Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Room 209 and Transportation Legislative Building Winnipeg MB R3C 0V8 CANADA Honourable Steve Ashton Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation Dear Minister Ashton: I have the honour of submitting for your approval the 2011/12 Annual Report for Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation (MIT). This report profiles the accomplishments of MIT, with detailed information on programs, their objectives, and key results. The 2011 flood had a significant impact on Manitoba’s roads, thus the department’s work included major investments to restore critical infrastructure across the province. This activity was undertaken in parallel with a continued commitment to strategic investments, such as the $212.4 million CentrePort Canada Way (CCW) project which will be operational by 2013. MIT reaffirmed its commitment to the Province’s infrastructure with the launch of a second five-year infrastructure plan in 2011. The investment in transportation infrastructure revitalization has been more than $2.3 billion over the past five years. The unprecedented 2011 flooding forced the emergency construction of the Lake St. Martin Channel to lower Lake Manitoba and Lake St. Martin, and mitigate flooding of regional communities.
