The bill has not passed and the legislature is set to rise later this week, but Goertzen says a bill is not needed to create the plate. Goertzen says he has spoken to Manitoba Public Insurance and asked that the corporation have the plate ready for sale by next summer. He says there are some details to work out, though, including designating a group that will be responsible for the money raised.
“Clearly there will be some consultations, probably, around the design of the plate — as there should be,” Goertzen said Monday.New Democrat legislature member Bernadette Smith has said the money raised by the plates would ease the financial challenges facing relatives of the missing and murdered.This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 31, 2022
