The first surveys focus on Lake Winnipeg, environmental licensing, Manitoba Hydro and energy policy, and the East Side of Lake Winnipeg. Responses are required from the political parties two weeks from receiving the surveys. "Voters need to know where our political parties stand on the environment. Transparent information is vital to democracy," said Manitoba Wildlands director Gaile Whelan Enns. New this election, Manitoba Wildlands is posting a series of "Reality Checks." Reality Checks ask and answer a particular question pertaining to environmental issues, and provide further references. More than twenty Reality Checks has been posted since February 2011.
