Manitoba Opposition Tories say lengthy omnibus bill means less public scrutiny
May 7, 2024
Manitobans may not be able to have public input on a host of proposed legislative changes, including a ban on replacement workers during labour disputes and a tightening of environmental rules.That’s because the NDP government has included those measures and others, originally planned as separate pieces of legislation, in an 89-page omnibus budget bill introduced this week.The Budget Implementation and Tax Statutes Amendment Act – known by its acronym, BITSA – is put before the legislature every year to enact measures contained in the spring budget.

For those who understood the challenge of conducting long-term field studies before the era of digital archiving, it could only be the product of someone with an extraordinary motivation and passion for understanding the hidden rhythms of the natural world.
