The newly re-elected provincial government delivered the speech from the throne this morning:
The speech highlighted key government commitments including: • completing necessary legislative requirements in order to fully implement the measures outlined in Budget 2019; • continuing to work to make Manitoba more economically competitive by reducing regulatory red tape and encouraging innovation; • completing the implementation of the New West Partnership Trade Agreement; • addressing addictions and public safety issues; and • making strategic investments to strengthen front-line health, education and social services.

Over 9,500 decisions from the Manitoba Reports have been added to CanLII!
CanLII is grateful to have received a grant from the Manitoba Law Foundation to add decisions from the first and second series of the Manitoba Reports to CanLII.org.
For the last year we have been doing research into what gaps there are in legal research for jurisdictions across Canada. In Manitoba we discovered that there was a gap in access to historical caselaw for the province. Following this we applied for a grant to help fill that gap.
We have added around 4,500 decisions from the first series and 5,000 from the second series of the Manitoba Reports. You can find them on CanLII using this search query.
Thank you to Karen Dyck, Erin Wilcott, and the staff at the Manitoba Law Foundation for making this grant possible, and Karen Sawatzky at the Manitoba Law Library for helping us identify local needs.
