A holiday update from MBP December 23, 2022 mbbeef.ca
Manitoba Government Shares Support Resources for the Holiday Season
dsfsfa
(December 21, 2022 Province of Manitoba News Release) As the holiday season has begun, the Manitoba government is encouraging Manitobans to pay attention to their mental health and check on family, friends and neighbours during these challenging times, Mental Health and Community Wellness Minister Sarah Guillemard said.
“The holidays are a joyous time but can also be difficult for some, depending on what is happening in their lives. This year, following prolonged pandemic-related periods of isolation, change and loss, many individuals may feel additional pressure to have a normal holiday season, which can amplify feelings of sadness, anxiety and exhaustion,” said Guillemard. “It’s important for Manitobans to proactively take care of their own mental health and also reach out to those they care about, to ensure they have access to the supports they need.”
The minister highlighted some of the ways individuals can help manage holiday stress:
• pacing themselves;
• understanding triggers;
• managing expectations;
• practising self-care;
• using positive coping strategies;
• engaging in rewarding activities;
• staying active, eating well and getting enough sleep; and
• maintaining usual routines, as possible.
Being mindful that family members, friends and neighbours may be struggling, and checking in with them, can reduce feelings of isolation and make a significant difference, noted Guillemard.

Manitoba Government Launches Engagemb Survey to Inform New Water Action Plan
(December 21, 2022 Province of Manitoba News Release) The Manitoba government is announcing the launch of online public engagement to seek input for the first water strategy action plan under the new water management strategy, Environment, Climate and Parks Minister Jeff Wharton announced.
“We’re inviting all Manitobans to provide feedback and help identify priorities for our province’s first water management strategy action plan,” said Wharton. “Your input is important and will help shape the direction of water management in Manitoba and help ensure we preserve this precious resource for future generations.”
Manitoba’s comprehensive water management strategy was released on Nov.8, along with a launch statement from Premier Heather Stefanson and the minister.
There are two components to Manitoba’s water management strategy. The first is the water management strategy framework, which provides high-level direction and guidance on water. The strategy framework includes a vision, mission, guiding principles, and key focus areas with strategic objectives. It sets the stage for work and decision-making on water management for the coming decade and beyond.
The second component of the strategy is a water action plan, intended to be a guide to specific and time-bound actions that the Manitoba government will take to implement the framework. The engagement announced today will help to inform specific projects, programs, and initiatives that the Manitoba government will invest in over the upcoming years to transform the strategy framework into concrete actions. The first water strategy action plan is expected for release in spring 2023, the minister noted.
The Manitoba government has also initiated outreach for dedicated engagement with Indigenous Peoples. Indigenous Peoples have a unique and immensely important relationship with water. Opportunities for Indigenous inclusion in water management are expanding and the Manitoba government is committed to collaborating on shared water priorities.
To take part in the survey, visit: https://engagemb.ca/water-strategy The deadline for feedback is Feb. 15, 2023.
In addition to participating in the engagement through EngageMB, Manitobans can also submit written submissions to waterstrategy@gov.mb.ca

Manitoba Government Issues 2022 Fall Conditions Report
Hydrologic Conditions at Freeze-up Important Factors Affecting Spring Run-off:
Piwniuk
(December 19, 2022 Province of Manitoba News Release) Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure’s Hydrologic Forecast Centre has released the 2022 Manitoba Basins Fall Conditions Report, which indicates soil moisture levels at the time of freeze-up are near normal or below normal in most Manitoba basins, Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Doyle Piwniuk announced.
“Hydrologic conditions at the time of freeze-up combined with weather this winter and upcoming spring will be the main factors that affect the extent of low- or high-water events,” said Piwniuk. “At this time conditions in most areas appear somewhat favourable. The longterm spring flood risk will be dependent on future weather conditions including the amount of precipitation received over winter and into spring, as well as the rate of snowmelt.”
Most Manitoba basins received record to near record precipitation this past winter and spring creating significant flooding. Hydrologic conditions improved over summer and fall with normal to below-normal precipitation. In October and November, southern, western and eastern Manitoba basins received below-normal precipitation, while central and northern Manitoba basins received normal to well-abovenormal precipitation.
Due to precipitation levels in summer and fall, soil moisture at the time of freeze-up is near normal to below normal for most Manitoba basins, with some areas in central Manitoba and the Interlake region having above-normal soil moisture.
Factors that affect the extent of spring run-off include water levels on rivers and lakes prior to freeze-up that indicate how much capacity exists to receive spring run-off. Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg are within operating ranges. Lake Winnipegosis, Lake St. Martin are near normal to slightly above normal. Dauphin Lake is well above normal for this time of year. Inflow into Lake of the Prairies (Shellmouth Reservoir) is tracking near-normal conditions.
Winter and spring precipitation also affects spring run-off potential. Environment and Climate Change Canada’s long-term precipitation forecast for this winter and spring has predicted above-normal precipitation for northern Manitoba and near-normal precipitation for southern Manitoba.
The Hydrologic Forecast Centre continues to work collaboratively with Environment and Climate Change Canada, the National Weather Service and flood forecasters in neighbouring jurisdictions to monitor watershed conditions and winter precipitation patterns. Manitoba’s Emergency Measures Organization continues proactive preparations for emergency response efforts should the spring run-off result in flooding.

The minister noted that further basin condition updates, as well as spring flood outlooks, will be released as necessary.
Manitoba Government Revitalizing Manitoba Conservation Officer Service
$1.7-Million Investment Will Improve Officer Safety, Enhance Protection of Natural Resources
(December 22, 2022 Province of Manitoba News Release) The Manitoba government will invest approximately $1.7 million as part of its plan to revitalize the Manitoba Conservation Officer Service, Natural Resources and Northern Development Minister Greg Nesbitt announced.
“Manitoba’s conservation officers provide valuable front-line services and this investment enhances public safety, the safety of our officers and better protect our abundant natural resources,” said Nesbitt. “I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the exemplary service our conservation officers provide all across this province. Thank you for your sacrifice, dedication and professionalism and, most importantly, your unwavering commitment to serving the citizens of Manitoba.”
The new $1.7-million investment will support the purchase of new protective clothing, safety equipment, tactical tools and communications technology, such as radios and cellphone boosters.
The province is also enhancing the operations of the conservation officer service by adding a centralized dispatch communication system. Manitoba is the only province without a centralized dispatch service for its conservation officers.
A central communications service will help ensure the safety of officers in the field and will serve as a foundation for improved co-ordination and support for rural policing and emergency services. The addition of a centralized dispatch builds on a previous investment of $380 million made by the Manitoba government in 2018 to replace Manitoba’s FleetNet emergency communications system, the minister noted.
These investments build on resource enhancements announced earlier this year. In November, the Manitoba government invested $300,000 in new equipment and services to
enhance enforcement of illegal night hunting and other unsafe hunting activities. One of the enforcement tools includes a dedicated helicopter service, with the Manitoba government signing a three-year contract with Taiga Air Services Ltd.
“As part of our government’s commitment to revitalizing the Manitoba Conservation Officer Service, these investments will provide better equipment and technology so our officers can effectively and safely work in rural and remote areas of the province,” said Nesbitt. “The safety of our front-line officers is paramount.”
Additionally, 11 new unmarked patrol vehicles were added to the Manitoba Conservation Officer Service fleet. These vehicles provide another tool for conservation officers to use as part of operational tactics, ensuring officers are able to continue offering vital resource protection and public safety activities.
Federal/Provincial/Territorial Ministers Met To Discuss Emergency Management
(December 16, 2022 Joint FPT Communique For Immediate Release) Federal, provincial and territorial (FPT) ministers responsible for emergency management met today to discuss progress made on shared emergency management priorities. The devastating wildfire, flooding and hurricane seasons, and telecommunications outage of the past year have demonstrated the need for all emergency management partners to bolster disaster resilience, emergency preparedness and response capabilities in Canada together.
The meeting was co-chaired by the Honourable Bill Blair, President of the King’s Privy Council for Canada and Minister of Emergency Preparedness, the Honourable Doyle Piwniuk, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure for Manitoba, and the Honourable Richard Mostyn, Minister of Community Services for Yukon.
Task Force on Flood Insurance and Relocation
Ministers were briefed on the report from the Task Force on Flood Insurance and Relocation: Adapting to Rising Flood Risk: An Analysis of Insurance solutions for Canadians, which was released in August 2022. The Task Force mandate was to explore solutions for low-cost flood insurance for residents of high-risk areas and consider strategic relocation in areas at the highest risk of recurrent flooding. Ministers noted the importance of increasing efforts to reduce pan-Canadian flood risk. Ministers committed to continued FPT collaboration to further examine the options available to address the flood insurance gap across Canada, in addition to other measures to reduce overall flood risk for residents.
Review of the Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements
Ministers were briefed on the progress of the ongoing review of the Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements program. They discussed some of the core findings to date, which highlighted the need for a greater focus on disaster risk reduction and adopting a more strategic approach to address the rising costs due to the increasing frequency and severity of climate-related disasters in Canada. Ministers noted the importance of being regularly informed and of continuing the FPT collaboration to advance the work related to improved disaster recovery programming, including meaningful provincial and territorial engagement and involvement in any potential changes to the Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements program.
Emergency Management Strategy and 20232024 Action Plan for Canada
Ministers discussed the Emergency Management Strategy for Canada and the development of the 2023-2024 Action Plan. They underscored the shared responsibility for emergency management and reviewed progress on advancing key actions outlined in the 20212022 Interim Action plan and efforts to better prepare, mitigate, respond and recover from the impacts of emergencies. Ministers agreed to continue to advance the work related to enhancing disaster response capacities, strengthening disaster recovery efforts as well as disaster prevention and mitigation. They reinforced the importance of emergency management collaboration and the continued engagement of their respective partners, including with Indigenous leadership.
National Public Alerting System
Ministers reiterated the importance of public alerting; a core public safety capability, which provides timely information to Canadians by
Federal/Provincial/Territorial Ministers Met To Discuss Emergency Management
warning the public of imminent or unfolding threats or hazards. Ministers discussed the FPT collaborative work to strengthen the overall use, sustainability, continuity of service and governance of the National Public Alerting System. Ministers instructed officials to explore alternative funding models and reiterated their desire to accelerate the work currently underway.
Public Safety Broadband Network
Ministers discussed the importance of advancing a Public Safety Broadband Network in Canada and reiterated their commitment to a coordinated pan-Canadian approach. They underscored the shared priority to develop a secure, interoperable and reliable telecommunications system, focused on the needs of provinces and territories and public safety-first responders. FPT Ministers agreed to advance the work related to a national network and discussed key next steps related to governance and priorities for moving forward on a Public Safety Broadband Network.
QUOTES
“As extreme weather events and natural disasters become more frequent and more severe than ever before, it is critical that we work collaboratively across all orders of government to bolster our resilience. We must
draw upon lessons learned and develop plans to reduce the impacts on our communities as we work to strengthen emergency management in Canada.”
“The wildfires, floods and extreme snowfalls that have occurred in Manitoba in recent years, along with the changing climate, have shown the value in continuing to build our robust provincial emergency management system to keep Manitoba resilient and all Manitobans safe. The Manitoba Emergency Measures Organization will continue to focus on proactive measures to reduce future natural disaster impacts and increase the resiliency of our communities. We are committed to working with the federal government, Indigenous leadership and communities, and our counterparts in other jurisdictions to further advance preparedness and response solutions to make us all stronger in mitigating natural disasters.”

Federal Industry Survey for Recycled Content and Labelling of Plastic Products
In the effort to advance Canada’s Zero Plastic Waste Agenda, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is developing targets, standards, and regulations to eliminate plastic waste and pollution. Over the last several months, the department has published two consultation papers concerning proposed measures to:
1) mandate a minimum recycled content for certain plastic items and 2) strengthen the recycling and composting of plastics through accurate labelling
The Government is proposing to address these two initiatives through a single regulatory proposal with two parts. Part I would aim to establish rules for minimum recycled content for certain plastic items (i.e., packaging), while Part II would establish rules for recyclability and compostability labelling of plastic packaging and single-use plastics.
As part of the regulatory development process, we are obligated to properly identify and assess potential impacts and costs, including for industry and Canadians. To support the development of this analysis, we are seeking to gather information directly from industry.
The Cost-Benefit Analysis Survey page outlines the purpose and intent of this information collecting exercise.
ECCC will be offering a webinar to provide more information and respond to questions about the survey. If you are interested in attending, please e-mail plastiques-plastics@ec.gc.ca and indicate your preferred date for attendance.
· English January 11, 2023 from 2-3pm EST

The Regulatory Proposal
Please note the information below may not represent the proposed regulation that will be published in Canada Gazette I or II and is subject to change. This is simply a summary of the proposed approach to develop the regulations to help guide respondents on the purpose and intent of this survey.
The regulatory proposal would be comprised of two parts. Part I would establish rules for minimum recycled content in certain plastic items, while Part II would establish rules for recyclability and compostability labelling of plastic packaging and single-use plastics.
The desired outcome of the regulations would be to improve the performance of recycling systems to divert more plastics from landfills and the environment, and to drive a more circular economy.
Part I (Recycled Content)
Part I would seek to achieve this outcome by requiring a minimum percentage of recycled content in certain plastic packaging and certain plastic manufactured items in commerce in Canada, thereby inducing greater market demand for post-consumer resin. ECCC published a Notice of Intent and Technical Issues Paper for public comment in winter 2022, which described key elements of the proposed
Federal Industry Survey for Recycled Content and Labelling of Plastic Products
recycled content requirements. From this consultation process, industry and stakeholders provided valuable feedback that helped ECCC to develop the regulatory proposal.
To capture the majority of plastic packaging in Canada, the Technical Issues Paper proposed covering the following plastic packaging categories:
• Beverage containers. For containing carbonated and non-carbonated beverages including, but not limited to, water, soft drinks and juice.
• Bottles (other than those in direct contact with food). For containing products such as motor oil, laundry detergent, cleaning products, shampoo and other personal care products.
• Non-bottle rigid containers and trays (other than those in direct contact with food). Items such as clamshells, jars, pots, trays, pails. For containing products such as paints, plants, cleaning products, cosmetics, housewares, electronics, appliances, sports equipment and toys.
• Foam packaging (other than those in direct contact with food). Items such as trays, containers, and protective packaging. For containing products such as housewares, furniture, electronics and appliances.
• Film and flexible plastic packaging (other than those in direct contact with food). Items such as film bags, woven and net bags, stretch wrap, shrink wrap, stand-up pouches, and bubble wrap.
For containing or protecting products such as clothing, flyers, housewares, cosmetics, furniture, electronics, appliances, sports equipment and toys.
• Garbage bags. Bags of various sizes intended for storage and disposal of waste, excluding organic bin liners.
• Waste bins. Garbage, organics, and recycling bins and containers.
The following product categories are being considered for exclusion:
• Drugs and devices as defined in the Food and Drugs Act
• Dangerous goods and waste as defined in the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992
ECCC is also considering excluding product applications from the scope of the regulations in cases where:
• other legal requirements do not allow for the use of recycled content in the product
• use of recycled content in the product could create risks for human health or the environment
