  • A Prescription in the Public Interest? Bill 207, the Medical Amendment Act
    A Prescription in the Public Interest? Bill 207, The Medical Amendment Act THERESA VANDEAN DANYLUK I.1N1RODUCTION ''when there are [private members'] proposals that the government finds in the public interest, I think there is a more recent developing interest to work together and get these proposals 1 moving." Generally, the passage of Private Members' Bills ("PMB") 1 into law is a rare feat for opposition members and government backbenchers ("private members"). In the Manitoba Legislature, this statement is particularly true-since 1992, while 141 PMBs were formulated, 88 of which were printed and introduced in the House, only four subsequently became law.3 It should, however, be noted that these figures do not account for PMBs which, after being introduced by private members but not passed, are introduced and subsequently passed in whole or in part through government legislation. Interview of Hon. Gord Mackintosh, Attorney General and Government House Leader, by Theresa Danyluk (6 October 2005) in Winnipeg, Manitoba. A private members' bill is a bill presented to the House by either a government backbencher or an opposition member. There are private members' public bills; dealing with general legislation, and private members' private bills; used most commonly for the incorporation of an organization seeking powers, which cannot be granted mder The Cmporations Act, or for amendments to existing Private Acts of Incorporation.
