  • Municipal Amalgamations)
    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.

  • Bicycle Helmets)
    Bill 210: The Highway Traffic Amendment Act (Bicycle Helmets) LANA JACKSON I. INTRODUCTION cording to current Manitoba law, it is illegal to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk. Under s. 145 (8) of The Highway Traffic Act, all cyclists; }.J'ncluding children, are to ride only on public roads and highways with the other traffic, unless the rear diameter of the bicycle wheel is less than 410 mm. Common sense would seem to dictate that when sharing the roads with motor vehicles, a reasonable bicyclist would wear a helmet. Nevertheless, in Manitoba this is not the case. Despite a concerted government effort promoting bike helmet usage over the past 15 years, only 28% of Manitobans wear bike helmets. 1 In an attempt to substantially increase the use of bicycle helmets in Manitoba, Dr. Jon Gerrard, the MLA for River Heights, introduced legislation to the Manitoba Legislature with Itivate Members' Bill 210, The Highway Traffic Amendment Act (Bicycle Helmets). Essentially, Bill 210 required anyone riding a bicycle on a highway or bicycle path to wear a proper protective helmet. The following paper will examine the circumstances surrounding the Manitoba Legislature's consideration of Bill 210. Areas that will be explored are: the discussion of the bill in the Legislature, the debate surrounding whether or not mandatory bicycle helmet legislation is necessary, where Manitoba currently sits in terms of its need and support of helmet legislation contrasted with those who oppose it, how other provinces have dealt with this issue, and why Bill 210 ultimately did not pass in the Manitoba Legislature.
