Twenty-one government bills and six private member’s bills passed final votes after the Manitoba legislative assembly sat late into the night Monday.
Some of the 21 bills included the Community Child Care Standards Act, the Body Armour and Fortified Vehicle Control Amendment Act, the Drivers and Vehicles Amendment Act, the Credit Unions and Caisses Populaires Amendment Act, the Emergency Medical Response and Stretcher Transportation Amendment Act, the Statutes and Regulations Amendment and Interpretation Amendment Act, the Celebration of Nigerian Independence Day Act and the Minor Amendments and Corrections Act.
The private member’s bills by NDP government members included the Islamic Heritage Month Act, The Two-Spirit and Transgender Day of Visibility Act and the Asian Heritage Month Act. The bills were brought forward by Nellie Kennedy (Assiniboia), Logan Oxenham (Kirkfield Park) and Jennifer Chen (Fort Richmond).
The private member’s bills by Progressive Conservative MLAs establish April 26 as Community Foundation Day, allow for the creation of a new specialty Manitoba parks licence plate and designate Tyndall stone as the provincial stone. The Tory bills were brought forward by Grant Jackson (Spruce Woods), Greg Nesbitt (Riding Mountain) and Wayne Ewasko (Lac du Bonnet).
The assembly is now on break until Oct. 2.
Advance voting for the June 18 Tuxedo byelection to fill the seat recently vacated by former PC premier Heather Stefanson begins Saturday.
