Wind-Up of NewStart Tangles in Manitoba
Bill Thomas resigned as executive director of Manitoba NewStart amid turmoil over research versus action. He described his role as an executive with a board that makes recommendations to Ottawa, while Ottawa approves or rejects them. Ottawa Winnipeg officials stayed away from a recent press conference, and the project is debated as ill advised and badly abused since inception. The Herald notes the Indian and Metis communities should decide on funding allocations if the program is to be salvaged.
