Eye on the dome ends as Manitoba MLAs head to summer break
Eye on the dome review of Manitoba politics notes the legislature’s end on June 6 after a 10 week session. The 57 MLAs begin a 14 week recess to recharge, while the government pushes a wave of new bills including a sweeping Municipal Act. The act promises greater local autonomy and press access, with accountability measures, amid praise from the Manitoba Community Newspaper Association. The piece contrasts coverage by newspapers and highlights a new provincial nursing education strategy announced by McCrae and McIntosh.
