	Independent Labour Party (in Manitoba) (II)
		\n---- \nThe Independent Labour Party was the dominant leftist group in the Manitoba legislature prior to the emergence of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation.
		The party was social-democratic in nature, and often had hostile relations with groups that were further to the left.
		Following the election (in which the party won seven seats), disgruntled ILP members succeeded in disaffiliating the parties until an acceptable compromise could be reached.

	MHS Transactions: The Reform Movement in Manitoba, 1910-1915
		Manitoba moved into the field of a provincial telephone system; larger grants to education, such as the construction of the Manitoba Agricultural College; extensive aid to provincial railways; introduction of workmen's compensation; a system of government line elevators; and the construction of a public abattoir.
		Labour was not only dissatisfied with the lack of sympathy among the elected representatives, but it was also very critical over the lax enforcement of the few acts regulating conditions at work, safety at work, hours of labour and compensation for injury.
		Organized labour felt that the lack of enforcement was the result of the lack of labour representation in the Legislature.

	MHS Transactions: Radical Politics in Winnipeg, 1899-1915
		The need to assume a position separate from, and to the left of, labour parties was an essential aspect of the growth of the socialist movement in western Canada.
		The party's platform had as its essential object the collective ownership of the means of production, but, at a time when British Columbia socialists had already decided that they could be satisfied with nothing but the destruction of the present order, the manifesto also advocated a number of reforms of capitalism.
		In addition, the party's inclusive nature allowed it to co-operate with the labourites, and this co-operation became an aspect of Winnipeg radicalism from the time the SDP was formed.

		The failure of either party to co-operate with a mediator may be construed as an unfair labour practice.
		A joint application by the parties to a collective agreement to have the Minister appoint a grievance mediator must be in writing and be accompanied by a copy of their collective agreement, a copy of the grievance, and any written replies or other data related to the grievance.
		If the parties use a grievance mediator named in their collective agreement, the government will pay one-third of the cost incurred by the parties for payment of reasonable remuneration and expenses to the person named as grievance mediator in the collective agreement.

	USW: Labour-Sponsored Investment Funds in Canada
		Labour sponsored venture capital corporations are a decade old Canadian phenomenon which now account for more than one-third of all institutional venture capital in that country.
		The labour sponsored venture capital corporation model was initiated by the Quebec Federation of Labour (FTQ) in the Province of Quebec in 1984 to meet identified equity capital gaps for small and medium sized businesses in a manner which would address additional social policy concerns.
		The idea of a labour sponsored fund was the most recent development in a long tradition of capital retention strategies in Quebec, which include the pooling of pension funds to assist local economic activity, and the development of a comprehensive network of credit unions which re-lend deposits locally.

		Labour, with its membership spread throughout our vast country, is in an ideal position to bridge the needs and concerns of both urban and rural Canadians. Similarly, the diversity of the new Canada can be a source of new energy and activism.

		Labour's political activism is multi-dimensional: lobbying governments; electing progressive candidates; mounting demonstrations and strikes; stimulating debate and dialogue; and, building coalitions with social movements.
