My question to the Premier is: "Did you provide a copy of the letter or show it to anyone else MATTER OF PRIVILEGE other than Elections Manitoba?"

I had responding to my question. I think this is the fourth posed the question because it was important to me in or fifth question the member's asked on this issue. terms of the allegations that were being raised to the Premier (Mr. Doer). It's an important issue because there's a The Premier has gone out of his way to give the difference if you get a letter with serious allegations impression to this Legislature, and in fact to all about a staffperson and you hand it directly to Manitobans, that he advanced everything directly to Elections Manitoba, which gives a nice positive Elections Manitoba and that's an important point media spin to the public, Mr. Speaker, as opposed to now. I'll expand on why right away. giving it to some party hack within the political party, or I should say, a staffperson within the party. I quote November 22 from Hansard 2006, the It was a very important point at the time, and I was Premier, in response to my question: "Mr. Speaker, pushing and pushing the best I could in terms of any innuendo or any issue of allegations that deals resolving that. with any breach of The Elections Act, I refer immediately to Elections Manitoba."

What but even in debate in this House where there is a fair we do know is that the Premier made it very, very amount of leeway in what is considered–you know, clear and I asked very specific questions: Did he the fact that we take any member of the Legislature's provide a copy of it to anyone?

  • Realigning Elections in Manitoba
    Realigning Elections in Manitoba A conference paper prepared for the Manitoba Politics & Government into the 21st Century Conference, St. John’s College, University of Manitoba November 20-22, 2008 Christopher Adams, Ph.D. Updated October 21, 2008 [Christopher Adams is a Senior Research Director at Probe Research and an Adjunct Professor in Political Studies at the University of Winnipeg and at the I.H. Asper School of Business (University of Manitoba). He welcomes comments: [email protected] or [email protected]] Realigning Elections in Manitoba Introduction In his 1955 Journal of Politics article regarding the study of American presidential elections, V.O. Key described a specific type of electoral event which he titled a “critical election”.1 A critical election marks the fact that a “realignment, both sharp and durable” is occurring within the electorate.2 While such elections are located at a specific point in time, these events are also part of “a stream of connected antecedent and subsequent behavior.” To demonstrate this, Key revealed how shifts to the Democrats could already be discerned in 1928, four years prior to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1932 presidential victory and the beginning of a new political era which lasted until Eisenhower’s Republican Party victory in 1952. As such, identifying electoral realignments and critical elections is essentially an historical enterprise. It is only after watching a series of electoral outcomes that one is able to label with confidence the triggering event as a “critical” realigning election, and not simply a temporary shift in partisan support. Of course, there are many types of elections and, building on the work of V.O.

  • Manitoba's Progressive Conservative Party
    Manitoba’s Progressive Conservative Party: A “Great Renewal” or Continued Disarray? Paper presented to the Roblin Professorship Conference - Manitoba Politics, Government and Policy into the 21st Century November 2008 Draft Working Paper – Please do no cite without permission from the author Kelly L. Saunders, Ph.D. Department of Political Science Brandon University Brandon, MB [email protected] I. Introduction At the annual general meeting of the Manitoba Progressive Conservative Party held last spring, leader Hugh McFadyen acknowledged that while it had had some disappointing setbacks, the Party was nonetheless on the verge of a “great renewal”. In light of the Party’s diminishing fortunes over the past decade, and most recently in the May 2007 election when it suffered its worst electoral showing since 1953, McFadyen’s attempts to instill hope in his Party’s faithful is understandable. Whether the Party is simply experiencing the ebb and flow natural to all political organizations, or is suffering from a deeper, more serious malaise, however, remains disputable. What is clear is that the Conservatives, as they enter the 21st century, are at a turning point in their history. The extent to which it is able to overcome its current woes, and be viewed as a credible and realistic alternative to the governing New Democrats by a wider proportion of Manitobans, is the fundamental question before the Party today. It is also the focus of this paper. In addressing the varied challenges confronting the P.C. Party as it enters the new millennium, the paper will draw on interviews with party insiders as well as a variety of primary and secondary documents1.
