The Task Force on Government Organization and Economy proposes disestablishing the Corrections Ministry and folding its functions into other departments. It favors integrating the Alcoholism Foundation of Manitoba into a department and placing juvenile corrections, probation, AFM, and certain programs under Community Services, with adults and some admin duties moved to the Attorney General's department.
