Powered by Entrepreneurs. 2 Danger Is Compounded When Our Members' Employees Meet the Trucks on the Roads .' CFIS CANADIAN PllDERATION O' INDml8tDDIT BUSINUL 294 Portage Avenue, Suite 904 Winnipeg, Manitoba R3C OB9 June I, 2012 Honourable Steve Ashton Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation 203 Legislative Building 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C OV8 Dear Minister, As you know, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) is a non-partisan. not-for- profit, political action organization that seeks to give independent business a greater voice in determining the laws that govern business and the country. With 109,000 members across Canada, including 4,800 in Manitoba, our members are located in every region of the province, with drversitv in activity that closely parallels that of the overall economy. Most businesses in Canada are small businesses. A thriving small business sector is essential for creating jobs, providing vital goods and services, and supporting local charities. In addition. small businesses add to the ambience, friendliness and culture of our communities. From time to time, members call upon CFIB for help in dealing with specific issues impacting their businesses. Our members north of Arborg have serious concerns over the poor condition of local roadways and the province's unresponsiveness to their request for upgrades. These manufacturing businesses are essential to the growth and vitality of the area. For many years they have created hundreds of jobs, contributed tax revenues to all levels of government, produced goods that are exported all over the world and generated millions to Manitoba's economy. Their owners are community leaders. It is our understanding a group consisting of the Town of Arborg, the Rural Municipality of Bifrost, the Arborg-Bifrost Community Development Corporation and the Okno Business Association has lobbied for a number of years for change. CFIB supports their call for immediate action. We urge the province to listen to their requests for long-term improvements to the roads north of Arborg - specifically, paving the gravel section of PR 326. As you can imagine, our members are frustrated with the challenges presented by unpaved roads. Raw materials transported by truck to their plants arrive covered in dust and/or mud if it has been raining. Finished goods shipped out by truck receive a coat of dust and/or mud on the first few kilometers of their journey around the world. Our members report that there has been an increase in the frequency of their customers' dissatisfaction, and even rejection, of unclean products. Also, current and potential customers visiting their businesses often do not have a positive impression when they must travel on dusty, muddy roads. In addition, the condition of the unpaved roads is a serious safety concern, especially when there have been wet weather conditions. Ruts and greasy conditions quickly develop on this route. Workers travelling to and from their jobs, or travelling to deliver raw materials and finished goods must do so over unsafe roads. Loaded trucks 'find it challenging to drive on soft gravel roads. The Powered by Entrepreneurs. 2 danger is compounded when our members' employees meet the trucks on the roads. Road restrictions during the change of season add another challenge for shipping by truck. Our members have expansion plans to meet the growing demand for their products. However, their message to CFIBis clear: unless the province makes long-term, permanent infrastructure improvements, their expansion may happen outside of Manitoba. The stale of the local roads will be the deciding factor. In the April 18. 2012 Manitoba Budget, Premier Greg Selinger acknowledged the importance of proper infrastructure to our communities by stating, UWeknow that building and improving our roads and bridges is a priority for families and it's essential to a strong and growtng economy. And in this budget we're ensuring there is long-term. stable support to keep building our roads and other strategic infrastructure. In total, Budget 2012 will devote $589 million to renew and improve roads across the province." At the recent Capturing Opportunities 2012 Forum in Brandon, Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives Minister Ron Kostyshyn presented awards to two of our members from the Arborg area. Peter Dueck of Vidir Machine Inc. received the Outstanding Community Leadership Award for his generous support for community projects. OKNOManufacturing Ltd. received the Economic Development Innovation Award for launching the initiative to pave local gravel roads and working with First Nation communities to provide job training and recruitment. Given the province's commitment to a strong infrastructure system, and the affirmation of the contributions from these businesses to the community, we question the disconnect between the government's announcements and its lack of action to improve the roads north of Arborg. The present situation threatens the competitiveness our members. It is our hope you will recognize the role you can carry out to address these challenges. Your team can make a difference to ensure these employers and community leaders remain in the Arborg area for the long term. Call this project be given high priority Oilthe list of infrastructure projects in 2012- 20137 We believe this would be a win-win situation for the province. 'Thank you for your attention to this issue and we look forward to your response. Sincerely, ~C-·~ janine Carmichael Janice Storozuk Director of Provindal Affairs, Manitoba Business Counsellor CC.

    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.

Increasing the length of time before amalgamation plans were due or adding in mechanisms for greater consideration of public opinion would have removed the wind from the sails of opponents to Bill 33.

  • 1 for October 8, 2015 Publication Le Metis President's Message These Past Few Weeks Have Been Very Busy and Will Continue to B
    For October 8, 2015 Publication Le Metis President’s Message These past few weeks have been very busy and will continue to be for the next few. I am sure you haven’t missed all the TV advertising and mail, and the knocking on your door. Coming soon on October 19 is the 2015 Federal Election. This is less than two weeks away. Each election the MMF helps you in finding out what the federal political parties are doing for the Metis. We do this by sending them questions. Visit our MMF website at www.mmf.mb.ca/elections.php to read their responses. I want to spread the message that in all elections we need your help. Voting in this federal election is particularly crucial. We have in this election what can be called “a perfect storm” for the candidates, their parties, and their leaders. Your vote may be the one that makes the difference on which party forms the next government. I am not asking you to vote for any particular party, nor am I telling you how to vote. What I am asking is you come out and vote. Take the five or fifteen minutes, or whatever it takes, to put your “x” on the ballot. Show the parties that they must listen to you. Stand up and be counted. I am pleased to say this year we have again had a successful MMF Annual General Assembly (AGA) which took place this past week on September 26th and 27th in Winnipeg. Over the course of the AGA weekend there were nearly 3,000 delegates attending to the main hall ceremonies and activities, the tradeshow, the youth conference and other sessions and meetings, as well as the evening banquet which was hosted by our own Metis government- owned Metis N4 Construction.

  • Minimum Sitting Dates
    Minimum Sitting Dates BRYAN SCHWARTZ & ANDREW BUCK I. INTRODUCTION As they often do, Manitoba Liberal MLAs Kevin Lamoureux and Dr. Jon Gerrard took their seats in the province's Legislature on 6 October 2006. There were, however, two significant changes on that particular day. First, the two MLAs were sitting in the building's rotunda, not the Legislative Assembly. That move was forced by the second significant aspect of that day-the House was not sitting. Mr. Lamoureux and Dr. Gerrard were staging a two man mock question period to protest what they felt was the NDP government's refusal to be held accountable in the House. The government, under constant opposition scrutiny for its role in the collapse of the Crocus Investment Fund, had not called the House into session for over three months at the time of the Liberal 1 stunt. This particular demonstration was far from original. Mr. Lamoureux had staged a similar protest two years earlier, but even that wasn't the first time the rotunda played host to a "lock out" demonstration. In fact, current Manitoba Premier Gary Doer sat in the same space and made the same arguments as an opposition leader in 1999. At that time, Mr. Doer was protesting the Filmon government's refusal to call the House into session during the inquiry into allegations that his party had engaged in vote rigging in the 1995 Manitoba General Election.2 But now that the scenario was reversed, the optics of the situation were not good. AB an editorial noted: "Mr. Lamoureux's complaint 3 looks particularly bad on Mr.
