Last Chance to Provide Comments on Possible Rural Crime and Metal Theft Legislation As a reminder, the Manitoba government is seeking public feedback until October 31st via an online questionnaire on proposed measures to combat rural crime and metal theft. As announced in an August 31 new release, the province is considering whether to adopt legislation from other provinces to improve Manitoba’s trespass and occupiers’ liability laws and discourage stolen metal sales. This c...ould include amendments to The Petty Trespass Act, to ensure the law is easier to enforce and to prevent confrontations between landowners and trespassers, and to The Occupiers Liability Act to ensure a landowner’s legal responsibility for injury is fair and reasonable when someone is on their property without permission. The province will also consider amendments to The Animal Diseases Act to support food safety on Manitoba farms. Manitobans are invited to provide feedback on potential legislation that would enhance biosecurity and reduce hazards at food production premises with livestock or other animals. Provide your feedback through the public engagement questionnaire at https://engagemb.ca until October 31.
