  • May 2, 2021 Honourable Blaine Pedersen Minister of Agriculture
    May 2, 2021 Honourable Blaine Pedersen Minister of Agriculture and Resource Development Room 358 Legislative Building 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Honourable Cameron Friesen Minister of Justice and Attorney General Room 104 Legislative Building 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Dear Minister Pedersen and Minister Friesen, The Manitoba Bill C21 Advisory Group that was set up to review the Government of Canada’s proposed Bill C21 had the opportunity to meet on multiple occasions. The group’s terms of reference were to detail how Bill C21 affects Manitoba and provide feedback to the Province of Manitoba for consideration. The information below provides the results of those meetings. Manitoba Bill C21 Advisory Group Summary Statement The Committee recommends the Government of Canada focus on education and safety, increase current enforcement efforts, while taking a tough stance on criminals who are breaking the existing laws, rather than further restricting legitimate firearms ownership by law-abiding residents. How Bill C21 Affects Manitoba • Allowing municipalities to implement by-laws restricting law-abiding gun owners will lead to a patchwork of bylaws throughout Canada. This will cause confusion, make criminals out of law-abiding citizens, make it impossible for many Manitobans to continue to participate in legal shooting sports. Allowing municipal firearms by-law(s) will also increase the workload on the provincial court system due to separate ever-changing rules from one municipality to the next. Also, the Association of Manitoba Municipalities does not support this patchwork of municipal by-laws related to firearms (see letter from the Association of Manitoba Municipalities attached).

  • Bill 30: Redefining the Ride-Sharing Economy in Winnipeg
    Bill 30: Redefining the Ride-Sharing Economy in Winnipeg DREN MALOKU * I. INTRODUCTION lthough Winnipeg’s population has grown by 7 per cent since 2010, the number of taxicab licences is virtually unchanged since 1947.1 A At one cab for every 1252 passengers, Winnipeg’s ratio sits well below Canada’s median of one cab for every 860 persons.2 Soaring accessibility issues combined with a poor taxicab industry safety record, has resulted in the enactment of hasty ridesharing legislation. Bill 30 – The Vehicle for Hire Act (the VFH Act), was first introduced in the Manitoba Legislature (“House”) on March 20th, 2017, during the 2nd session of the 41st legislature. Bill 30 came into effect on February 28th, 2018.3 The VFH Act repealed The Taxi Cab Act, amended The Highway Traffic Act, The Liquor and Gaming Control Act, The Drivers and Vehicles Act, and The Manitoba Public Insurance Corporation Act, and transferred ridesharing jurisdiction over to the city of Winnipeg and other local municipalities from the Province of Manitoba.4 This extension in law-making authority enables Manitoban * Dren Maloku, B.A. (UBC), J.D.
