Manitoba Looks to Law Reform Commission for Professional Body Policy
Manitoba asks the Law Reform Commission to study how professional and occupational associations should be governed. Justice Minister Jim McCrae notes no current provincial policy on granting professional status to new occupations and calls for uniform rules across groups. The commission will issue a discussion paper, seek public input, and report to the justice minister with recommendations. More than 50 groups hold some professional status in Manitoba. Alberta and Quebec have enacted changes, with others reviewing the issue.
