Manitoba Government Introduces Legislation to Break Down Interprovincial Trade Barriers, Proclaim June 1 as
Buy Manitoba, Buy Canadian Day
(May 22, 2025 Province of Manitoba News Release)
The Manitoba government has introduced legislation to bring down interprovincial trade barriers and help grow the province’s economy, Business, Mining, Trade and Job Creation Minister Jamie Moses announced.
“Manitoba is dealing with both American and Chinese tariffs and now is the time to build up this country we love so much,” said Moses. “Through this legislation and co-operation with other provinces, territories and the federal government, we will unlock more economic opportunities for people across the country.
Together, we are building a stronger, more resilient economy that will support Manitoba workers and bring our country together.”
Bill 47, the fair trade in Canada act, would remove trade barriers for goods and services between Manitoba and other jurisdictions in Canada. The proposed legislation is based on mutual recognition similar to other provinces, the minister noted.
services, the Manitoba government may designate it as a reciprocating jurisdiction.
Under mutual recognition rules, the goods and services of a reciprocating jurisdiction that meet its standards and approvals would be recognized as meeting the comparable standards and approvals in Manitoba.
If the federal government, a province or a territory has legislation or an approach similar to Manitoba’s for removing barriers to trade in goods and
The mutual recognition rules would not apply to goods and services that are provided by Crown corporations. With this legislation, the Commemoration of Days, Weeks and Months Act would be amended to proclaim June 1 of each year as Buy Manitoba, Buy Canadian Day.
This legislation builds on the memorandum of understanding (MOU) on economic co-operation signed by the governments of Ontario and Manitoba earlier this month, the minister noted. The MOU asks both provinces to introduce legislation using reciprocal mutual recognition to reduce trade barriers. Other provinces, including British Columbia, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, have introduced similar legislation.
Manitoba Government Investing More Than $8 Million in Veterinary Training Programs
(May 22, 2025 Province of Manitoba News Release)
The Manitoba government is increasing support and renewing its agreement with the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine that guarantees Manitobans access to training programs in veterinary medicine, Advanced Education and Training Minister Renée Cable and Agriculture Minister Ron Kostyshyn announced.
“By renewing this agreement, our government is stepping up with additional investments to train more Manitobans at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine,” said Cable. “We’re working with other provinces to support animal health so that our agriculture sector can continue to grow and thrive.”
Through a multi-party agreement that includes the governments of Saskatchewan and British Columbia and the University of Saskatchewan, the Manitoba government will invest $8.3 million in funding support for 2025-26.
“Farmers navigating animal health issues such as avian influenza rely on the expertise of veterinarians as a necessary part of ensuring the health of livestock,” said Kostyshyn. “High standards of health in veterinary medicine are key
not just for the safety of animals but for our economy as well.”
“We are proud of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine and the exceptional education opportunities it provides to veterinary students from across Western Canada,” said Saskatchewan Advanced Education Minister Ken Cheveldayoff. “We are grateful to have this internationally recognized college right here in Saskatchewan and are fully confident in USask’s ability to produce highly skilled veterinarians to care for both our livestock and companion animals.”
As the premier centre of veterinary training, research and expertise in Western Canada, the Western College of Veterinary Medicine is the only Canadian veterinary medicine school that provides dedicated seats for Manitoba residents. The partnership with the internationally accredited institution ensures a continuous stream of veterinary graduates with knowledge of both animal health and public health in Manitoba communities, noted Cable, adding there is strong demand for veterinarians across the province and the partnership agreement to support training Manitobans is helping meet this need.
Manitoba Government Establishes Innovation and Productivity Task Force
(May 22, 2025 Province of Manitoba News Release)
The Manitoba government is establishing an Innovation and Productivity (IP) Task Force to provide strategic advice regarding the safe and secure implementation of new and emerging technologies to support the economy and promote data-driven decision-making, Innovation and New Technology Minister Mike Moroz, co-chair of the task force, announced.
“Our province, and indeed our country, has a tremendous opportunity to invest and articulate a vision in the future of the innovation economy and I’m so excited that Mr. Balsillie and the other members of the team have agreed to take on this work,” said Moroz. “With smarter government and homegrown solutions to the problems we face and a strategy to advance Manitobans ownership of IP and data, our province can play a leading role in helping move our country forward and growing the innovation and research ecosystem here in Manitoba.”
Co-chaired by entrepreneur and philanthropist Jim Balsillie, co-founder and chair of the Council of Canadian Innovators, founder of the Centre for International Governance and Innovation, and former co-chief executive officer of BlackBerry, the IP Task Force will engage with government agencies, industry experts, researchers and Indigenous communities to ensure best practices are followed.
“There is a tremendous opportunity for Manitoba to turbocharge its economic resilience and prosperity by designing and implementing valueadded, sovereign strategies across all sectors and industries,” said Jim Balsillie, co-chair of the Innovation and Productivity Task Force. “I look forward to supporting the development of a framework that reflects the changed nature of the
global economy and leads to the strengthening of Manitoba’s prosperity and security.”
The Department of Innovation and New Technology is currently considering the implementation of technologies like artificial intelligence, the development of intellectual property policy, as well as sovereign cloud strategies to ensure data storage and processing are governed and handled securely without the need to travel through jurisdictions that may not have the same protections or safety requirements in place, noted the minister.
By developing new data strategies, intellectual property commercialization and sovereign cloud initiatives, this effort will position Manitoba as a leader in 21st-century digital governance and economic competitiveness, added Moroz.
Other members of the task force include:
• Adam Herstein, partner at Pitblado Law;
• Clara Buelow, director of marketing and communications, Manitoba Chamber of Commerce, previous lead on the Digital Manitoba Policy Initiative;
• Jacqueline Keena, managing director, Enterprise Machine Intelligence Learning Initiative
• Gerry Price, president, Price Industries;
• Prof. Gautam Srivastava, professor of computer science, Brandon University;
• Debra Jonasson-Young, executive director of entrepreneurship, Asper School of Business; and
• Dr. Ernest Cholakis, founder, Cholakis Dental Group.
The mandate of the IP Task Force includes the creation of a strategic plan that will guide Manitoba’s innovation and productivity initiatives as the global marketplace continues to evolve. The task force is expected to deliver the plan to the minister later this year, noted Moroz.

Applications for The Environmental Stewardship Award
Are Due to MBP by December 12, 2025
Manitoba Beef Producers (MBP) is accepting applications until Friday, December 12, 2025 for consideration for the local awarding of The Environmental Stewardship Award (TESA).
Since 1996, TESA has recognized producers who go above and beyond standard industry conservation practices and set positive examples for other cattle producers and the general public. As stewards of a vast portion of the Canadian landscape, Canada’s beef cattle producers play a significant role in protecting and enhancing the environment. They continuously strive to improve existing stewardship conservation practices to create a sustainable future – always farming for tomorrow.
At the local level, a producer receives provincial recognition for their outstanding environmental contributions. In Manitoba, this occurs in conjunction with MBP’s annual general meeting held in February. All provincial award recipients then move forward to compete for national recognition from the Canadian Cattle Association (CCA). The national TESA recipient is announced during the CCA’s semiannual meeting held in late summer or early fall
Each nominee exemplifies significant innovation and attention to a wide range of environmental stewardship aspects in their farm or ranch operation. Such innovations extend beneficially to areas far beyond their land, including water, wildlife and air.
How to Nominate
All beef cattle operations in Canada are eligible to apply for consideration for TESA. Interested producers can either nominate themselves, or be nominated by another individual or an organization. All methods are equally encouraged. More details and the application form can be found at: https://www.cattle.ca/sustainability/tesa
Note: If you are a producer who is considering self-nomination, MBP can provide you with guidance and suggestions on completing the application process.
The completed application form, along with all supporting documentation (such as letters of support, photos and/or videos), is to be submitted to Manitoba Beef Producers by email to info@mbbeef.ca no later than Friday, December 12, 2025. If you have questions, please feel free to contact the MBP office at 204-772-4542.
Wildfire Information For Producers
Due to the dry conditions, parts of Manitoba have been affected by wildfires. The following is information that may be useful to producers affected by these conditions, or those preparing for the possibility of a wildfire.
For current information re: the wildfire situation, including fire maps, fire and travel restrictions, etc., go to:
https://www.gov.mb.ca/nrnd/wildfire_program/
To report a wildfire call:1-800-782-0076 (tollfree)
A reminder about individual responsibilities during an emergency from the provincial Emergency Management Organization (EMO):
Step 1: – Producers/Individuals are the first point of responsibility to deal with their own emergency situation.
Step 2: – If individuals cannot provide appropriate response to their emergency situation, their local municipality is the first point of contact for emergency-related information and assistance.
Step 3: – If the local municipality cannot handle the situation, that municipality will contact the Emergency Management Organization (EMO) for assistance. If EMO requires Manitoba Agriculture’s assistance, they will assign an issue to our emergency coordinator.
Producers who need to transport livestock to an alternate area are encouraged to book a transport company immediately to ensure service.
Protecting livestock and crops
Source: Manitoba Wildfire Evacuation Guidelines
• Owners should have an evacuation plan for livestock threatened by fire. If animals can’t be moved to a safe area on your property, make and confirm transportation and feeding arrangements in advance. Obtain insurance coverage for all farm resources at risk from fire, including crops and livestock.
• The risk to farm animals can be reduced by preparing and maintaining fuelreduced areas. Livestock can be moved and held there during a fire. Use a plowed or heavily grazed field with a minimum of grass or stubble. If possible, this field should be shaded and located well away from any forested areas. Water should be available.
• Concrete or metal buildings located away from forest vegetation are another livestock shelter option.
• As a last resort, if you are unable to move livestock to a safer area, cut fences and turn the animals loose, as long as there is no danger to people or traffic.

SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN FOR THE 2025 CANADIAN BEEF CHECK-OFF AGENCY AWARD
It is no surprise that Canada’s beef industry continues to focus on the engagement of young entrants into the beef industry, whether that be grassroots producers, future leaders of our national and provincial organizations, or industry partners along the value chain.
The Canadian Beef Check-Off Agency (the Agency) continues to diversify its youth strategy with the renewal of the annual scholarship, aimed at students who intend to make an impact in Canada’s beef industry.
The scholarship is open not only to beef producers and those directly involved with their families, but it is open to students who can see unique ways to make an impact through marketing, research, public engagement, and other areas where check-off dollars are invested to generate value for the beef industry in Canada.
“We are working hard to ensure that we are engaging the next generation of industry leaders,” said Trevor Welch, Agency Chair. “This scholarship allows us to reach pockets of young producers that we often find it challenging to connect with.”
Adeleen Bolduc, the Agency’s Youth Member and member of the scholarship committee, sees value in the extensive range of career paths that can help shape Canada’s beef industry.
“Our scholarship outreach is one of the most successful communications programs to date at the Agency ”, said Bolduc. “We have been focusing on different platforms to get the word out to young beef industry stakeholders and it has been extremely positive.”
While preference may be given to applicants who are beef producers or have a background in agriculture, it is not a requirement for the scholarship.
Applicants are asked to submit a 1-2 minute video, showcasing their desire to improve and grow Canada’s beef industry in a unique way. The investment of the beef check-off in Canada delivers value to the beef industry, and the scholarship seeks to support those who want to make an impact in the same way.
The deadline for scholarship applications is June 30, 2025 and the selected applicant will be announced during the Agency’s AGM in August 19, which will be held virtually.
