Consultations/Legislation

This page lists ongoing, recent, and expected consultations about licenses, legislation and policy affecting Manitoba's crown lands and waters. Many are subject to public policy for establishment of protected areas. Materials for many are available in the Manitoba Conservation public registry. Where federal government responsibility exists in an environmental license, a federal public registry operated by the federal agency responsible for the assessment of the development, is also in place.

Comment

Access to Information in Manitoba

Manitoba Wildlands prepared a brief about access to information standards needed and lacking in Manitoba. Contents of the public registry, notification, planning and regulatory changes, and access to proponent responses have eroded over the last few years. Split posting where some materials are in paper registry and some are on line, without clear policies or notification, is also a recent problem.

Public access to information is not just about making information physically or electronically accessible. It is about enabling citizens to participate. Manitoba needs to renew its mechanisms so that citizens and communities engagement is enhanced and enables.
