    INTERVIEWS An Interview with the Justice Minister and Attorney General of Manitoba† T H E H O N O U RABLE ANDREW SWAN I. ROLE AS HOUSE LEADER BPS: The reason we wanted to do this interview is from the process point of view, the past session seemed to be the most remarkable one in about a decade. It was an extraordinary example of the Opposition’s ability to put a spanner in the works. The Opposition extended this session, forced the government to make some compromise in terms of scheduling when things would be. Can you give our readers just a background on your rise to House Leader. What the job is about? AS: I was appointed House Leader after the summer of 2013, when there was a cabinet shuffle. The Premier asked if I would take on the role. I was not that surprised as traditionally House Leader has gone along with the role of the Attorney General. I guess they presume that the House Leader who has to be reasoned and negotiate, often those would be qualities you would hope to have in the lawyer who fills the role of the Attorney General. So I wasn’t surprised. I had served as the unofficial or backup house leader for Jennifer Howard, who was both house leader and Finance Minister in the last session. So I would spell her off and I would † This interview was conducted by Bryan P. Schwartz and Jessica Davenport in June 2014. Andrew Swan was appointed the Minister of Justice and Manitoba’s Attorney General in 2009.

    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.

    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.

    Selecting Selinger: the 2009 Leadership Race and the Future of NDP Conventions in Manitoba∗

    Selecting Selinger: The 2009 Leadership Race and the Future of NDP Conventions in Manitoba∗ Jared J. Wesley, University of Manitoba [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Abstract In a delegated convention held in October, 2009, the Manitoba New Democratic Party (NDP) selected former Finance Minister Greg Selinger to replace Canada's longest-serving and most popular premier, Gary Doer. Official appeals filed by the victor’s chief rival, Steve Ashton, and persistent criticism of the process in the media raised significant concerns over the method by which the new premier was selected. These complaints proved a fleeting fixation of the media, and have not harmed the NDP’s popularity or affected the smooth transition of the premiership from Doer to Selinger. Yet, questions persist as to whether the 2009 leadership race marked the last delegated convention in the history of the Manitoba New Democratic Party. This paper examines the 2009 leadership race in the context of contests past, analyzing the list of criticisms directed at the process. Grounding its findings in the comments of delegates to the 2009 Convention, it concludes with a series of probable choices for the party, as it begins the process of considering reforms to its leadership selection process. Leading contenders for adoption include a pure one-member, one-vote system and a modified version similar to that of the federal NDP. ∗ Funding for the 2009 Manitoba NDP Convention Study was provided by the Faculty of Arts, Duff Roblin Professorship, and Department of Political Studies at the University of Manitoba, and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Politics and Governance.

    Controversy Surrounding the Environment Amendment Act: Balancing the Risk of West Nile Virus Over Malathion Fogging

    Controversy Surrounding The Environment Amendment Act: Balancing the Risk of West Nile Virus Over Malathion Fogging LEAH ROSS My wife and I get sick when the pesticide trucks come around every year. We don’t need to hear when our area is being fogged—we can feel it in our legs, a dull ache that tells us the poison truck has come. We have tried to get our house taken off the list, and the city has duly recorded our name and address, but it has no effect. The guys on the truck just spray everything, including people’s vegetable gardens. Once my wife saw them spray our house and ran outside to tell them we were supposed to be missed. The guy on the truck noticed her, turned around… and sprayed her with the fog…. Another night we saw them playing with the neighbour’s dog, who likes chasing water hoses and figured, somewhere in his tiny dog brain, that he was playing the same game. He cheerfully chased the spray around his dog pad, his muzzle dripping with malathion. The truck had stopped so that the sprayer could play this game for a minute or two. We never bothered to complain, figuring that if they weren’t going to respect our wish to be bypassed, they weren’t going to investigate our complaint. It’s our word against theirs.1 I. INTRODUCTION innipeg is known as the mosquito capital of Canada and “in the summer of 2001,West Nile Virus was recognized as an W emerging public health threat”.2 As a result, provincial and civic officials pumped millions of dollars into fighting the bugs by helicopter and on foot.
