MEN ARRESTED AFTER SHOTGUN, VEHICLE SEIZED WINNIPEG police have arrested two men accused of possessing a shotgun, after a probe into a shooting. Police were called last Friday at about 5:50 p.m. about a shooting involving a vehicle on the 300 block of Keenleyside Street and began investigating. Detectives determined the vehicle was a black 2019 Dodge Ram, which patrol officers as well as gang investi- gators and tactical officers pulled over in a “high-risk” stop on the 1800 block of Pembina Highway at about 1:35 p.m. on Monday. One of the people in the vehicle jumped out and ran, but police arrested the suspect after a chase. Three other people in the vehicle were arrested while a shotgun and four shells were seized from the Dodge. Tyson Stewart McPherson, 29 of Pe- guis First Nation, is charged with four firearms offences. He was also taken in on a warrant. Philippe Rex Dubuc, 32 of Winnipeg, is charged with firearms offences as well as driving while suspended or dis- qualified and with a court order breach. Both were detained. Two other people in the vehicle were released without charges. IN BRIEF Union, CFIB slam delayed licence process taking some security guards off the job ‘Government red tape’ hampering workers, businesses T HE president of a union repre- senting thousands of security guards in the province is call- ing for a streamlined licence-renewal process after at least 100 guards were pulled from their jobs in the past 12 months. United Food and Commercial Work- ers Local 832 president Jeff Traeger told the Free Press provincial process- ing delays have resulted in licences ex- piring as guards wait for renewals to be completed. Guards cannot legally work under an expired licence, and sometimes spend more than a month off the job — with- out income — until the new one arrives. A month with no pay is a significant problem for people often earning close to minimum wage, Traeger said. “You probably don’t have a lot of money in the bank to carry you,” he said. The provincial Justice Department’s Private Investigators and Security Guards Program is responsible for pro- cessing the annual $30 licence renew- als. Criminal record and child-abuse registry checks, required with new li- cence applications, need updating only every three years. Between updates, previously licensed guards simply at- test to being in the clear. Traeger doesn’t see the merit of the yearly renewal requirement, calling it “nuts.” He blamed the former Progressive Conservative government for reducing the number of staff processing renew- als for the bottlenecks over the past four or five years. Renewals that previously took a max- imum of four weeks increased to 12, he said. “Our calls to the last government to fix this problem… fell on deaf ears,” he said. Tory justice critic Wayne Balcaen said the NDP has cut $9 million for jus- tice system staffing. “This funding would go a long way in clearing backlogs,” Balcaen said in a statement, calling on Justice Minis- ter Matt Wiebe to “immediately priori- tize” renewals for guards with lapsed licences. Balcaen did not comment on staffing levels during the previous Tory govern- ment. Under the NDP, processing time has fallen to eight weeks from 12, Traeger said. “They started working with us, and with security companies, to try to cor- rect this issue,” he said, adding the union has twice met with Justice De- partment officials. A provincial spokesperson said in a statement the program is fielding be- tween 8,000 and 9,000 applications an- nually. The number of staff has increased to six from two or three in past years. The department is now prioritizing renewals based on expiry dates; it pre- viously used a first-in, first-out system. “This change has significantly re- duced the number of security guards who have had their licences expire due to administrative delays,” the spokes- person wrote. The province did not answer a ques- tion on the number of licences that ex- pired because of processing delays. Other initiatives, the spokesperson said, include a “voicemail to email ser- vice” for more efficient responses to voicemails, and allowing different pay- ment methods for renewals. The province’s website also provides twice-weekly updates about application processing timelines. As of Tuesday, applications received June 14 were be- ing dealt with. Even with improvements, Traeger said the province needs to replace its “archaic” way of handling renewals with a fully online process — especial- ly as the demand for security guards increases. The union represented roughly 1,200 guards in 2016. Its membership now numbers more than 2,500. “There are guards in almost every downtown building now,” he said, not- ing concerns about crime in the city. The Canadian Federation of In- dependent Businesses echoed the union’s sentiment. “Excessive government red tape can get in the way of people’s livelihoods, both for the security guards who are being barred from working, and the businesses who rely on them for safe- ty,” CFIB prairie legislative affairs director Brianna Solberg told the Free Press. Solberg said crime and safety con- cerns are top of mind for most of the federation’s membership, with 67 per cent spending more on security, includ- ing hiring guards. “The whole licensing process should be streamlined and modernized by moving it online in order to ensure applications are processed in a timely manner,” Solberg said. jordan.snobelen@freepress.mb.ca JORDAN SNOBELEN Disability is not a dirty word.
