Proposed Grain Act Sparks Dissent in Commons Committee
Opposition members of the Commons agriculture committee warned the proposed Grain Act will face a rough ride. Jack Horner moved two amendments and led lengthy discussions before they were defeated. He argued the act could empower the grain commission to reach eastern dealers and add red tape, foreshadowing a long committee session and many amendments from the grains council and opposition.

Expropriation Act Amended With Pre Hearing Provisions
Manitoba Labour Minister Russ Paulley introduced a second reading bill to provide landowners pre hearings before expropriation. The Expropriation Act would inform owners of intents and aims, set minimum property prices via the land-value appraisal commission, and ensure compensation for disturbance and alternative accommodation costs. The bill preserves owners’ rights of appeal and expands compensation for tenants.

New Driver's Licence System is Proposed
A Manitoba bill aims to replace the learner’s permit with a probationary licence valid for 12 months, extend new driver status to those under five years licensed, and suspend driving for a year after certain offenses. The measure targets one third of new drivers involved in crashes and adds provisions against farm truck licensing abuse, impounding of cars used by suspended drivers, and windshield stickers for accident cars to aid hit and run investigations.
