  • Feb. 18, 2021—To the Honourable Cliff Cullen, Minister of Education
    February 18, 2021 The Honourable Cliff Cullen Minister of Education Legislative Building 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Dear Minister Cullen: River East Transcona School division is the second largest school division in the province. We offer quality education programming to our students while having the lowest cost per pupil in the urban area. Our administration cost cap is currently 2.4%, .3% lower than the government directive of 2.7%. RETSD can do this because of the effective and efficient budgeting process it follows. The division has consistently developed lean budgets that maximize revenue supports to provide for students. Our Board is proud of this accomplishment. As have all school divisions in the province, we recently received your funding announcement. The announcement outlines financial support from the province as well as restrictions and limitations placed on our local school board. The impact of those restrictions and limitations is magnified in our division due to the existence of a fiscally responsible and lean budget. Specifically, RETSD Board of Trustees may not raise local education property tax above the level assessed last year. The province is providing school divisions with a 2% Property Tax Offset Grant (PTOG) to make up the shortfall in revenue. Unfortunately, the 2% PTOG does not adequately address the actual costs the division is facing just to maintain a status quo budgetary position. The provisions of Bill 28 dictate that our employees will receive a 1% salary increase this year. Many of our teachers will also be receiving an additional annual salary increment. Our division is experiencing unprecedented expansion and student population growth.

  • And Justice for All-Bill 47, the Legal Aid Services Society of Manitoba Amendments Act
    And Justice for All-Bill 47, The Legal Aid Services Society of Manitoba Amendments Act JUDY F. EAGLE I. INTRODUCTION he Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, addressed the importance of maintaining the public's T confidence in our justice institutions so as not to betray the promise of a just society.1 To achieve this, McLachlin C.J.C. suggested that focus on three factors in particular would be critical: (1) ensuring the high quality of our justice system; (2) ensuring access to our justice system; and (3) upholding the fundamental values that underlie our legal system. Chief Justice McLachlin further stated that: "The finest justice system in the world is a failure if people cannot use it. ,,2 One of the greatest challenges in attempting to provide fair and universal access to justice is that of providing adequate legal aid to individuals who would have difficulty, or would otherwise be unable to obtain legal counsel due to the costs. Government funding is becoming inadequate for these individuals-as due to budgetary considerations, despite serious legal problems, they are denied assistance. Other problems arise when private practitioners refuse legal aid work due to the related economic burden. Work performed by staff legal aid lawyers is underfunded and unrecognized, and first in line to be affected by financial cuts. The outcomes for many people in low income brackets will hinge upon the degree of expertise or knowledge available to them, and upon the degree of legal access entitlement as afforded by case law and legislation,3 and unfortunately, many often have no alternative but to represent themselves.
