Preventing Homelessness in Seniors: A report recommending a major focus on Prevention. Seniors are critically important to our province. They should never become homeless. Sadly too many do. Seniors make up approximately one quarter of those experiencing homelessness. Across Canada, this proportion has doubled since 2009.	"Safe Shelter Now" Plan to End Homelessness - 2023 With large numbers of people homeless in Manitoba, urgent action is needed to address the crisis. The current situation has continued for decades under both NDP and PC governments. The Manitoba Liberal Plan offers a realistic alternative to addressing and ending homelessness.
Little Saskatchewan River Ecological Corridor - 2023 Updated Mar 26, 2023 - Should the Little Saskatchewan River be recognized as a wildlife corridor? We are preparing a report and We welcome all comments and suggestions.	Radon: A Call to Action - 2022 A home needs to be a safe place. To have a radioactive gas, like radon, at high levels in one's home is unsettling, disturbing and unhealthy. Yet this is a reality too many Manitobans have to face. It affects one quarter of the homes in our province. This radioactive gas is colourless, and odourless. It causes lung cancer and is turning deadly for too many Manitobans.
Standing Up for Seniors - 2021 On March 2, 2020, before a single case of Covid-19 arrived in Manitoba, the Manitoba Liberal Caucus called on the PC government to come up with a six-point Pandemic plan, including protecting First Nations and Personal Care Homes(PCH)2.	Lead and Crime in Manitoba - 2020 Lead is one of the most dangerous substances at an individual and a society level. Its impact is intergenerational. A few decades ago, lead was a common additive in gasoline, in paint, in drinking water pipes and was emitted by industries resulting in toxic levels in some Winnipeg neighbourhoods.
Optimal Brain Health For All Manitobans - 2016 For the last several years Manitoba Liberals have been strong supporters of including some critical psychological services delivered by psychologists under medicare as we now do for services provided by doctors. Our approach received very strong support when we were campaigning door-to-door during the provincial election of 2016.	The Diabetes Epidemic in Manitoba - 2014 The Manitoba Liberal Caucus is dedicated to improving the lives of Manitobans and to a wise use of taxpayer dollars. The diabetes epidemic, the longest and most severe epidemic in the history of Manitoba, is a tragic example of many years of poor policy approaches by the NDP which have resulted in excessive expenditures to treat disease when prevention should have been front and centre.
Six Lost Years - 2005 We believe strongly that the health of our children needs urgent attention. To this end we have participated fully in all the hearings, school visits and meetings of the All Party Task Force, and have contributed many suggestions which have been incorporated into the full Task Force report.
