Mr Vielfaire urged support for a bill aiding private and parochial schools with access to public facilities and free textbooks. He argued the Royal Commission's practical suggestions were ignored and democracy in Manitoba was at a low ebb. The concurrence motion on shared services was adjourned.
Works Minister Weir told the Legislature that temporary workers would receive at least one week’s notice before layoffs after a past incident where 37 workers were dismissed on a single day’s notice. He said a seniority schedule limited losses, with temporary staff gaining holiday and superannuation benefits but no sick pay. Cherniack urged extending sick pay.
Russ Paulley of the New Democratic Party in the Manitoba Legislature argues the proposed federal provincial amending formula is too rigid as it requires unanimous consent of all ten provinces for certain measures. He cites potential blocks to national medical care insurance, fish and livestock boards, and nation building. He calls for hearings and a report to the Manitoba Legislature if Commons Senate hearings proceed. Debate adjourned.
Public Works Minister Walter Weir told the Legislature the department plans 69 road projects this year with 20 million dollars and a further 2.5 million from federal funds. Total highways spending reaches 43 million, with 28 million already expended. Plans cover 7,160 miles of municipal roads and 4,000 miles of trunk highways as provincial roads are coordinated into a system and municipal roads upgraded. A new map will show only provincial roads and trunk highways.
The Manitoba legislature faced a tense week as flood risks prompted adjournment and cross‑party cooperation. Premier Roblin reported improved flood conditions after a weekend with favorable weather while opposition leaders pledged full support. Debates covered school funding transfers and the Shared Services plan, which Dr. Johnson promoted as voluntary and experimental. A heated clash over automation and employment ended with a party‑line vote, signaling further parliamentary clashes upon resumption.
