Welfare Reform Stalled at Ottawa Ministers Conference
Manitoba Health and Social Development Minister Laurent Desjardins blasted the Ottawa welfare ministers conference as a waste of time. He said federal plans amount to rebranding old programs, with no new incentives to work or streamlined administration. Desjardins warned that lack of federal funding and unclear future cost-sharing threaten the social security review’s value and Manitoba’s ability to shape reforms.

Unified Family Court Approved in Principle in Manitoba
The Manitoba Government approved in principle a pilot for Canada's first unified family court in St. Boniface County Court District. The plan, from Manitoba Law Reform Commission, needs federal concurrence and may reduce duplication and costs by handling divorce, property settlements, maintenance, and custody in one court with federal funding for counselling and pre trial settlements. If successful, the system could expand across Manitoba with provincial facilities and trained judges kept informed.
