		Yesterday's release of the Department of Education's Review of the Financial and Legal Implications of Land Transactions in the Swinford Park Subdivision confirmed what Opposition Education Critic Myrna Driedger already suspected - the NDP Government is not serious about uncovering all the details surrounding the illegal Swinford Park residential land development scheme.

		Driedger added that the Swinford Park report had some similarities to the recently released Auditor General's report on the Crocus Investment Fund.

		The Tories' Advocate for Family and Women's Issues, Myrna Driedger, today called on the Doer government to ensure children in care are not being placed in inappropriate situations due to financial strains at Winnipeg Child and Family Services (WCFS).

		According to staff, because of funding restraints and mismanagement, bad placement decisions are being made, including the mixing of older and younger children - which is what staff say happened in this sexual assault incident.

		Today in the Legislature, Tory Health Critic Myrna Driedger questioned the NDP about its ability to decrease wait times for hip and knee surgeries in Manitoba.
		Driedger noted that patient wait times continue to increase in Manitoba despite the NDP promise nearly seven years ago to fix the health care system in six months with $15 million dollars.
		Driedger suggested that recent advertisements by the NDP that promote a healthy health care system are a sad attempt to mislead Manitobans into thinking wait times are being decreased.

		Driedger noted that Ulrich opposed the Manitoba Property Fund investment because he felt it was not “a prudent investment opportunity for any pension fund” and did not serve “the best interests of its beneficiaries.”
		The Auditor General noted that the $10 million investment in MPF went forward shortly after Ulrich’s contract with TRAF was not renewed in March 2004.
		Driedger, who has formally requested an Auditor General investigation into TRAF, believes an Independent Public Inquiry is the only way Manitobans will fully understand the close interwoven relationships between the NDP government and the boards of TRAF, WCB and the failed Crocus Investment Fund.

		The move has Manitoba’s education critic Myrna Driedger questioning the cost and the motivation of taking the process away from Brandon citizens.
		While the provincial government bowed to pressure from the Manitoba Association of School Trustees (MAST) to reverse the decision, the ruling could have given substitute teachers the right to strike under the Labour Relations Act — something the collective agreement does not allow.
		“It’s odd to me that for one topic alone they’re moving a whole arbitration to Winnipeg,” Driedger said.
