insurance review the scope of the review that has been commissioned by the provincial government concerning the operations of the Manitoba Public insurance corporation is besides appointing three members to the review the minister responsible for de pinpointed the areas that the Board should concern itself the Board has been told to investigate the operations and service provided by the government insurance which should give the Public a sounding Board for both Praise and the Board has also been instructed to pay particular attention to the general insurance division of possibly because the government itself has disco Vered that it can save Public Money by allowing private Industry to compete for government business in general the most interesting categories singled out for investigation Are those involving the principle of no fault and that of compulsory collision the review Board will do Well to examine what is probably the Best example of no fault insurance operated in North America that in place in the province of there the government has assumed the responsibility for providing insurance benefits to individuals on a no fault with an upper limit on it is difficult to argue against the right of government to protect its particularly when it has established reasonable but has not precluded the Opportunity for individuals to Purchase additional coverage if they so the Quebec scheme does not cover which Are left to the private insurance the argument seems to be that the government concerns itself with not pieces of on the matter of compulsory collision the committee will have to look at the or of continuing the present policy that requires every vehicle to carry collision regardless of age or while it is obvious that All motorists should be insured for damage they May cause to surely the responsibility of insuring their own property is a matter that can be Best left to the at the owners of some older vehicles find themselves paying annual insurance premiums for collision coverage that Are higher than the amounts they could collect if their automobiles were totally All members of the review Board Are and their findings should reflect what is Best for Manitoba x not All members Are totally removed from the insurance the creation of Public Automo bile insurance has influenced Many people who were associated with the Industry both before and after the govern ment became part of government insurance has been Good for some bad for the Only criticism that could be raised is that anyone who has been closely associated with the Industry might find it difficult to reach an objective Mcgill has said that aut Opac is Here to but the government is anxious to improve the and simplest Way of improving it is to allow Competition in All police scepticism the idea that one of the main purposes of a prison system is the rehabilitation of criminals in its enlightened and humane and brought with it much needed reforms and improvements in the conditions in which prisoners were it has not worked Well in reforming perhaps because like anyone cannot be helped to change their ways unless they want to change and Many of it have absolutely no such the remains it became an Issue at the Canadian Congress on the prevention of when a director of the John Howard Elizabeth Fry society accused police of sceptical about rehab Ilita that policemen May be sceptical about the prospects of rehabilitation will Surprise few after must Deal repeatedly with the rehabilitate is in As Halifax police chief Fitzgerald Fry pointed out at the it is not the role of the police to get involved in rehabilitation at the role of the police is to enforce the Law and capture criminals once he is in whatever treatment an inmate is to receive becomes the responsibility of other parts of the criminal Justice once a convict is released under mandatory the police Are often forced to become this was the subject of complaints from both sides at the with the John Howard director complaining that police reports on parolees Are almost invariably stereotyped sex the committee to Monitor sexist stereotyping in the electronic which was set up by the former Federal has now held two and members have a better idea of the task facing High on the list of according to a National press release issued by the is a series of meetings to explain to people what they should complain these meetings will be held in cities across at the women groups will be made aware of monitoring techniques presumably so they can decide what to dislike and willbe made aware of effective methods of action that can be used to Deal with the problems of sexist stereotype while the women groups will be instructed in what to become irritated another part of the committee will be meeting with members of the advertising Manu religious leaders and members of the purpose of these according to the press will be to sensitize these groups to the problems inherent in sexist translated into the press release seems to be saying that the committee will be sent first to identify the and then to make those who should be aware of it concerned about All of which is a far cry from the reasons for establishing the committee in the first the problem was so Clear that Only the committee could Deal with there was no suggestion that the committee first had to find the problem before it took and chief Fry complaining that parole officers abdicate to policemen the supervision of if prisoners Are to be their supervision should not be the Job of the police that is what the parole service is parolees who abide by the conditions of their parole May justifiably complain that supervision by police men hampers their reintegration into society and it would seem to be beyond argument that parolees who do not abide by the conditions should not have been released in the first but debates such As this inevitably raise the question of whether parole serves any useful purpose at it is at least for the to understand Why a prison sentence of five years should become a prison sentence of less than five years because a group of parole service officials assume sometimes mistakenly and with tragic results that a convicted criminal is ready to be the fact that he is released under Manda tory supervision is an implication that the parole service has doubts that he will behave a combined committee of parole officials and police representatives has unanimously recommended that mandatory supervision be the parole service has undertaken a study of this proposal that is expected to last three delay and confusion Are perhaps inevitable when a proposal is being considered by an organization that includes both bureaucrats and social but unless convincing evidence can be presented that parole serves a useful purpose and it is doubtful that such evidence can be found the parole service should act on the recommendation without Lack of expertise the boo Zallen Hamilton

observation of the manner in which the streets and operations Branch temporarily resurface a Road Cut Calls for some in the past when roadways were then Macadam surfaced along with Cut Stone although the surface was quite rough Patching was accomplished by filling in the top layer with gravel and this was adequate for the traffic of wheeled vehicles of that time mostly of tires consisting of Iron bands anywhere from the to 3yz Inch variety commonly in use and always on slow moving the usual result was that the passing of a wheel Over this fill tended to pack it Down even when totally dry but firmly Why in this Day of rounded pro file rubber tired vehicles which travel at from ten to possibly 30 Miles an hour does the operations Branch still prac Tice this method of temporary fill at surface level Why does the streets and operations Branch still follow a practice Laid Down in 1895 for adequacy in those Days when vehicular traffic has changed so tremendously not Only in style but also in numerical passing across a fill Iron plates Are used where but surely some More slightly permanent Type of fill than gravel is at hand for use on both Asphalt or Concrete sur faced Blake
