New Feature: Weekly Bill Review with David
We’re launching a new segment in our MST Zoom calls! Starting tonight, David will give his initial review of current bills under consideration at the Manitoba Legislature.
Each week, we’ll spotlight one bill, unpack its contents, and explore its potential impact.
🔎 Explore current bills here:https://www.gov.mb.ca/legislature/business/bills.html
Why this matters: These bills shape your freedoms, finances, education, healthcare, and local autonomy. Let’s stay informed.
This is a very busy month at the Legislature. They have many Bills this session. Expect dozens of them to soon become law.
The designations below: SC means it has been scheduled for public input at STANDING COMMITTEE (on 2025 04 24). Follow the process to leave a written comment, or to speak at 450 Broadway, or on Zoom.
The lines in BOLD FONT indicate Bills to which I plan to speak.
Bills numbered less than 200 are put forward by the government.
How to speak or submit comments are here:
I hope you find this useful.
Feel free to register and speak if you like any of these Bills, or are concerned by them.
David Grant
SC Bill 3 Winnipeg Planning Act. prevents any challenge to a bad city bylaw, unless 300 residents petition against it. This is a crazy-high number. This bill allows city hall to trample over the rights of residents.
SC Bill 4 Planning Act, re WMR. Residents saw the previous Act as dangerous to their way of life. This bill extends the deadline for Winnipeg to tell the smaller towns what they must do.
SC Bill 6: Public schools. No comment.
SC Bill 7:Human Tissue Gifts: no comments.
Bill 8 No new liquor stores. No comment.
SC Bill 9: No new pot shops. No comment.
SC Bill 10: Residential Tenancies: Rules for landlords. No Comment.
SC Bill 11: Rules for pipeline operators. No comment.
Bill 12: Landlords and low-rent residents. No Comment.
SC Bill 13 Fixes typos in 40 existing laws. This Bill does not mention the big typo in the Engineering Act.
SC Bill 14 Insurance Act: Tweaks to life insurance terms.
SC Bill 15: Deals with bad Real Estate deals.
SC Bill 16: Enables residents of reserves to vote for trustees on nearby school boards.
SC Bill 17 Requires every school to provide free meals and snacks; an embedded POISON PILL forces a 20% pay cut for any politician who tries to change any aspect of this.
SC Bill 18: Enables a school board to teach in an aboriginal language. In some cases, giving instruction in an unfamiliar language can impede learning. Confirming fluency should precede such instruction.
SC Bill 19: Bill refines the rules which deter sexual abuse of students by staff.
SC Bill 20: This Bill requires that every student in Manitoba is taught about treaties and "colonization".
SC Bill 21 Sets rules for SPORTS MANITOBA and how it deals with the abuse of youth. As do all regulatory Acts, this process allows fake or non-investigations. It also allows Complaints to be dismissed in secret. Changes must be made to both. Requiring every investigation to include minimum standards, and requiring the publication of a redacted report of every investigation would deter these problems.
SC Bill 22: Small changes to the ENVIRONMENT ACT regarding spills. The relative toxicity of the spill is not mentioned. Missing from these pages is the removal of the authority of the Minister to declare polluted land to be "Green" without evidence.
Bill 23 "Acting in the public interest" will result in the automatic dropping of any lawsuit or action against a person or entity. This is very important legislation; it will protect from retaliation those who "whistle-blow" and those who act in similar ways.
SC Bill 24: The death benefit for a worker who dies after a workplace injury can go to a spouse or to his (?) estate.
SC Bill 25: The Public-Private Partnerships Transparency and Accountability Act This is much-needed legislation. Since these PPPs can be murky, and hide corruption, this Bill tries to make them more clear and public. There have been many P3 deals which were far from being in the public interest.
SC Bill 26 This Bill simplifies the process for a person over 18 to change their gender designation.
SC Bill 27 Changes small details in how we fill out our MB tax returns.
SC Bill 28: Hydro may not supply power to customers in some cases. This seems strange, but it may be needed, as we run low on power.
SC Bill 29: This Bill expands the definition of an unsafe workplace, and the ease with which a worker can make a claim, if they have fears about their job.
Bill 30: Changes the rules for elections and election finances. A simple audit of a local association must cost #2500, even if there are only a dozen entries to confirm. This is unusually specific, and far too high for a simple job. The list of voters can be compiled in any way that the Elections CEO trusts. There is no mention of voters being citizens.
SC Bill 31 Grocery Competition Act. A grocery store can no longer forbid a competing store from opening nearby.
SC Bill 32: Trafficking in drugs and 'humans' can result in eviction from rented spaces. Good!
SC Bill 33: Anyone can be detained if the province suspects that they may have an infection, but they must not be jailed. They must be kept in a health facility, not in a jail. The Bill does not draw a line between infections that are and are-not dangerous. Since this involves detention in ways that may violate Charter Rights, the means of determining infection should be defined. Will this be applied to a person who has been exposed to bird flu or Covid but is not ill?
SC Bill 34 New rules and gov powers for those who enforce the law against commercial trucks.
SC Bill 35 Changes the cost of insurance for vehicle fleets.
SC Bill 36 Changes the rules for drivers suspended for various reasons.
SC Bill 37 Financial Services regulation (stocks, futures and credit unions) will be centralized under a new corporation. These are needed changes. Now, if a CU allows theft from a business account, the MB regulator can do no more than ask the CU to repay the money. Since every CU manager knows this, they may have no incentive to prevent or reverse this sort of crime.
SC Bill 38 forbids passing bikes and plow vehicles. The cloud of snow in the air makes passing a plow dangerous. The new law needs to exempt vehicles which are not actually plowing snow. The way it is written would prevent passing a truck with a raised blade, or a truck simply returning to the shop after plowing is done.
SC Bill 39 imposes campaign finance rules on the election of school board trustees.
Bill 40 requires Remembrance Day ceremonies on a school day near the 11th of November. Long ago in Ontario, these ceremonies were held on the morning of the 11th. Making the 11th a statutory holiday diminished the importance of this special day.
SC Bill 41 The Reporting of Supports for Child Survivors of Sexual Assault Act
SC Bill 42 Buy Canadian Act This Bill requires government to buy from Canadian Suppliers. It says nothing about the origin of the item. Combined with the China-friendly policies of the Liberal government, this gives an advantage to a Canadian retailer of Chinese products over a US retailer of US or Canadian products.
SC in rm 254 Bill 43 changes the wording of the Human Rights Act, regarding gender issues. This Bill ignores the fact that valid complaints, that officials can violate human rights, with legislation, but be protected by MB HRC employees delaying action for years, during which time those employees negotiate to change the offending legislation.
SC Bill 44 Matriarch Act to advise gov on issues.
SC Bill 45 spells out the millions that the Minister will borrow and spend to keep his gov running.
Bill 201 5 year pilot to allow sale of liquor at wine stores, beer vendors and manufacturers.
Bill 202 Using net metering, a customer sells his solar-cell power back to MB Hydro.
Bill 203 Breast cancer screening to begin at age 40 not 50.
Bill 205 requires annual reports on the economy and greenhouse gas emissions.
Bill 206 would protect homeowners from crooked purchase offers.
Bill 207 would require a person to have teaching experience before being picked as a school principal.
Bill 208 celebrates small business.
Bill 209 celebrates the independence of the Philippines.
Bill 210 celebrates indigenous veterans.
Bill 212 would change Tenant rights.
Bill 213 would forbid non-compete employee contracts.
Bill 215 would require the Minister to publish current wait times for medical specialists.
Bill 218 would declare April to be climate action month.
Bill 219 would require a police officer to report any wrongdoing they see, done by a fellow cop.
Bill 221 forbids bad hunting practices.
Bill 222 forbids lawsuits against an owner or tenant for harm to criminal trespassers.
Bill 223 deals with repealing daylight savings time.
Bill 224 would require a committee and the public to review any proposed budget.
SC2 Bill 225 requires every student in K-3 to be assessed for learning disabilities twice a year. Identifying all such students early will benefit them. The results must be kept confidential. In my experience, the most profound cases are identified in preschool years, but there is still great value in this Bill.
Bill 227 would remove restrictions on the movement of goods and professional workers between provinces. This opens many cans of worms; each would require mitigation.
Bill 228 would enable a farmer to get a registration number to qualify for retail sales tax reductions.
Bill 300 would update the WINNIPEG FOUNDATION. Audit reports would go on its website, not in the paper, and the Mayor would not necessarily be on the board.
WMR and Bill 4 – Still Active, Still Dangerous
Let’s be clear: the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region (WMR) issue is far from over.Bill 4 is still active in the Manitoba Legislature and continues to pose a threat to local control and landowner rights.

#1 News of Week
This is part one of a three-part interview conducted by Will Dove with Dr. Charles Hoffe and I. Both of us acted in accordance with our medical ethics, raising concerns about the safety of the COVID-19 “vaccines.” We warned our colleagues, protected our patients, and spoke publicly about the alarming patterns we observed.
This is part one of a three-part interview conducted by Will Dove with Dr. Charles Hoffe and Dr Trozzi. Both Doctors acted in accordance with medical ethics, raising concerns about the safety of the COVID-19 “vaccines.” They warned colleagues, protected their patients, and spoke publicly about the alarming patterns they observed. In response, the Canadian medical establishment moved to revoke their licenses—though the outcomes for each Doctor was completely different.
#2 News of Week
Vaccinated children have a 170% higher chance of being diagnosed with autism compared to unvaccinated children, according to a new peer-reviewed study. (https://publichealthpolicyjournal.com/vaccination-and-neurodevelopmental-disorders-a-study-of-nine-year-old-children-enrolled-in-medicaid/)
Background: Vaccinations required for school attendance have increased nearly threefold since the 1950s, now targeting 17 infectious diseases. However, the impact of the expanded schedule on children’s overall health remains uncertain. Preliminary studies comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children have reported that the vaccinated are significantly more likely than the unvaccinated to be ...
The study also found that vaccinated children had a 212% greater likelihood of developing a range of other neurodevelopmental disorders, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), epilepsy/seizures, brain inflammation and tic and learning disorders. According to the study, the childhood vaccination schedule is likely a significant contributor to the higher rate of autism and neurodevelopmental conditions in vaccinated children.
The study of 47,155 9-year-old children enrolled in the Florida Medicaid program since birth was published on Jan. 23 in Science, Public Health Policy and the Law. Karl Jablonowski, Ph.D., senior research scientist for Children’s Health Defense, said the paper “is unignorable simply by the soundness of its methods.”
#3 News of Week
The Supreme Court in the United Kingdom, which has been at the heart of a lot of left-leaning precedents for citizens there, stunningly has decided that men who say they are female are not "women." The Telegraph called it a "landmark" ruling and quoted "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling, who has been badgered and bludgeoned by those in the transgender agenda for her criticism of the movement, saying it would protect "the rights of women and girls across the U.K."
The court ruling, a unanimous decision, said "woman" and "sex" in the 2010 Equality Act referred to biological sex, not a belief expressed by a male that he is suddenly female. In fact, following the science, changing gender does not happen, as being male or female is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level.
In a blow to tech giant Google, a move that could be a prelude to a breakup of the giant money-making machine, a federal judge has concluded that it operates an illegal monopoly over two markets related to digital advertising tech. The ruling from U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema in Virginia found that Google is in violation of the Sherman Act because it dominates the online publisher ad server market and the ad-exchange market that connects ad buyers to sellers.

THIS WEEKS READ
A Mini-Report from the National Citizens Inquiury is this weeks read. It is an excerpt from the original report published in November of
Mini Report Overview:
The Commission received detailed information about the procedure through which “approval” for
COVID-19 vaccines was granted in Canada. According to the testimony, the conventional evaluation
and endorsement process for the COVID-19 vaccines was not adhered to by the Canadian Govern-
ment. Instead, a new process was established whereby Health Canada “authorized” the Covid-19 vaccines under an Interim Order (which was later adopted as a permanent regulation). It is important tounderstand that the Covid-19 vaccines were never approved under the traditional approval processfor drugs in Canada. Under the alternative authorization process, the necessity to establish the safety and efficacy of Covid-19 vaccines through an objective manner appears to have been set aside.
Objectively and independently proving the safety and efficacy of any new drug before its intro-
duction into the market is an essential cornerstone of responsible healthcare and public safety. Thisrigorous requirement serves as a critical safeguard for individuals’ well-being, ensuring that potentialrisks are thoroughly assessed and weighed against the benefits. This principle becomes even more pivotal when the drug is intended for widespread use across all segments of the population.
The blanket use of a drug, especially one like the Covid-19 vaccines, necessitates an unassailable
foundation of evidence. Rigorous testing, transparent evaluation, and independent verification of
safety and efficacy are fundamental to instilling trust among both healthcare professionals and the
general public. This approach ensures that medical interventions are based on the most accurate and reliable information available.
In the context of a global health crisis, these principles are vital to ensuring that public health mea-
sures are not only effective but also respectful of individuals’ rights and dignity. It is imperative that
all drugs proposed to be released to the public be objectively and independently proven to be both
safe and effective. It is for this reason that strict proof of safety and efficacy have been required by
our drug approval regulations. The need to prove both safety and efficacy take on particular im-
portance for drugs intended for the entire population, including children and pregnant women. This approach forms the bedrock of responsible medical practice and contributes to a society that values health, science, and the dignity of each person.
Please join on time, we start and finish on time.
Usually I am in the chat ten minutes before the start of the meeting!
