Strengthening Manitoba's Capital Region
General Principles and Policy Directions
— A Public Discussion Paper —
3. Conclusion and Public Participation
In this discussion paper the RPAC has identified a series of suggested policy directions for the provincial government on which it is seeking advice. The positions, principles and policy recommendations outlined in this paper reflect the RPAC's current thinking.
The RPAC welcomes challenges to its positions and is seeking suggestions for alternative approaches to the issues facing the Capital Region. Citizens of the Capital Region should feel free to identify other issues and possible directions and actions.
Certainly there are lessons to be learned from past actions and inactions by governments and other groups within the Capital Region. However, RPAC is expected to provide recommendations to the provincial government for future directions. Accordingly, all participants are urged to identify ways to improve policies and processes that will strengthen the Capital Region in all the respects identified in this paper.
The opportunities to 'join the debate' on developing a plan for the Capital Region are listed on the below. We look forward to hearing from you.
Let's Talk!
