Legislature Week in Manitoba Debates Pension Plan and Highway Law
The eighth week of the Manitoba legislature opened after Easter with debate on Stubbs resolution to restore twelve man juries, a motion failing 22 to 23. Resolutions passed included continued securities for a sugar refinery project and a civil service pension plan financed by employee and government contributions. McLenaghan attacked social credit and the budget outlook, while amendments to many resolutions reduced votes. The daylight speed limit was set at fifty mph, and a bill to protect union organizing faced government opposition. Friday saw long committee work. the municipal art bill passed with union support, and Winnipeg charter legislation faced heavy scrutiny for late-session passage.
