    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.
