WestlawNext Canada has added a section on COVID-19 materials in their finding tools to help find legislation and cases affected by the pandemic.
For those with access to Westlaw, you can find it at the bottom of the finding tools on the front page. These materials include legislation, cases, and bill progress.
Our subscription to HeinOnline just got even better. Eleven new journals have been added to their collection, including Canadian Tax Journal, published by the Canadian Tax Foundation. HeinOnline is available to members of the Law Society of Manitoba by signing in to the Members Portal and clicking on “Library Resources”.
As we continue to work remotely, being able to access a full library of legal journals wherever you have an internet connection is a valuable resource. Be sure to check out all of the content we provide for you, and don’t hesitate to contact us for help with legal research.
From the Legislative Assembly Website: “On March 19, 2020 the Members of the Manitoba Legislative Assembly unanimously agreed to suspend its sittings due to the ongoing public health crisis brought on by the COVID-19 virus and the need for social distancing. Although public access to the Legislative Building has been limited for the same reason, Assembly offices remain open with a reduced staff complement and can be reached through phone or email.”
