Kevin's quests

Kevin Lamoureux, our Liberal MLA for Inkster, has been on a role this year. Those who saw the article in the Winnipeg Sun from October 10, will know of Kevin's concern to reduce crime and improve safety in Winnipeg. But, Kevin has also been working hard to look at reform to Manitoba's electoral system. Should Manitoba introduce a set date for elections each four years as British Columbia has done? Should there be mandatory voting in Manitoba? (See also earlier blogs on Mac Harb's discussion of this idea). Should there be a change from our present first past the post electoral system to some form of proportional representation? All these ideas and many more are up for discussion in public meetings Kevin is holding around Manitoba. His last public meeting is this coming Monday, October 17 at 7:00 p.m. at 226 Tyndall Ave. This is Kevin's constituency office and there is plenty of space for anyone who would like to come.
