Careless driving charge angers family in fatal crash
The family of 13 year old Ashton Colbourne killed in a Yellowhead Highway pile up near Franklin Alberta argues the charge against Leslie Aubrey is too weak. Aubrey faces careless driving charges in Minnedosa Provincial Judges Court after a chain reaction involving four other vehicles. The crash injured seven others including Ashton’s parents and a Winnipeg woman who is paralyzed. RCMP say evidence supports careless driving, not a higher charge.

Manitoba MLAs return to legislature early in March
Manitoba MLAs will return March 1 under the Golden Boy, beginning the earliest session since 1998. An all party agreement requires eight March sitting days and a return by April 12, to study legislation and reduce bill backlog before summer. The NDP plans four new bills, including Water Protection Act and provincial smoking ban, plus a gas tax funding bill and municipal infrastructure measures. The provincial budget is expected in April. In 2003 MLAs sat 37 days due to the summer election.
