  • Five Manitoba Cabinet Ministers Quit Over Premier Who Doesn't Listen
    Five Manitoba cabinet ministers quit over premier who doesn’t listen By : INVC Team Published On : 4 Nov, 2014 12:48 PM IST Sukhjeevan Sharma, INVC, Canada, Five high-profile ministers have announced they are resigning from the cabinet of Manitoba’s NDP government, citing a premier who they say has stopped listening to their advice. The five include Finance Minister Jennifer Howard, Justice Minister Andrew Swan, Jobs and Economy Minister Theresa Oswald, Municipal Government Minister Stan Struthers and Health Minister Erin Selby, who all say they will stay on as MLAs.They say in a statement that it’s become clear to them that Premier Greg Selinger is more interested in hanging onto his leadership than serving the best interests of Manitobans. Selinger will shuffle his cabinet on Monday. In a statement released to the station, Selinger said he’s saddened by the resignations, but notes that he made it clear to his cabinet last week that they must either focus on Manitoba families or step down. A revolt erupted last week when the ministers suggested Selinger should think about his future, given the NDP’s drop in opinion polls. The New Democrats have trailed the Opposition Progressive Conservatives since the government increased the provincial sales tax to eight per cent from seven last year. The ministers later agreed to an uneasy truce, with Oswald, Swan and Howard saying they would not resign, although they gave no indication that they were backing down from their suggestions that the premier consider stepping down. There has also been no indication of when the fall session of the legislature would get underway.

  • Saved by the Bell: the 2015 Legislative Assembly Rule Changes
    Saved by the Bell: The 2015 Legislative Assembly Rule Changes BEN WICKSTROM * ew things are more essential to law-making in Manitoba than the rules of the Manitoba Legislative Assembly. Bills succeed and fail F based upon the proper execution of the Assembly’s rules. Changes to the Assembly’s rules greatly affect the ability of governments to enact legislation and the ability of opposition members to obstruct and slow the passage of bills (or to enact their own). While the lives of Manitobans can be greatly changed by the skillful navigation of the rules, it is hard to imagine more than a hundred people have a working knowledge of these rules. In June 2015, the Assembly enacted a set of rule changes (the first in more than ten years), which significantly altered the tools in the legislator’s tool-belt. This paper will examine the rule changes that occurred in June 2015, their origins in previous legislative disputes, and their early consequences. The June 2015 Rule Changes involved the consideration of 33 separate items, which included the addition and deletion of dozens of provisions. While some of these changes could be described as “legislative housekeeping” involving the elimination of rules that had fallen into disuse or the clarification of ambiguous provisions, others were of much more considerable consequence which would affect how both the government and the opposition carry out their respective roles. The focus of this paper will be on the changes with the most significant impact on the conduct of legislative business, including rules related to matters such as number of sitting days, times of the year at which the house may sit, when the house can be recalled, the creation of categories of “specified government bills” and “designated government bills”, challenges to the * B.A.
