It is your turn now to comment on legislation at Committee stage

As we reach the last week and a half of the legislative session (It will end June 13), many of the bills are going to a legislative committee where citizens can make presentations.

If you would like to make a presentation on one of the bills being considered in a committee, you should call the clerk's office at 945-3636 or 204-945-3636 if you are outside of Winnipeg.
You can also come directly to the committee when it starts and register to speak at the committee itself. Presentations are normally up to ten minutes in length with up to five minutes of questions from MLAs following the presentation.
