The Manitoba government is seeking feedback from the public on some proposed measures to combat rural crime and metal theft.
A new online questionnaire was announced Monday by Justice Minister Cliff Cullen.
Cullen says while the province will definitely be consulting with law enforcement on the issue, the government have launched the questionnaire “to hear from people in rural, northern and remote areas, as well as other Manitobans, about their experiences with crime, so we can ensure the justice system responds to their needs.”
The Justice Minister also said the province is also considering whether to adopt legislation from other provinces to improve Manitoba’s trespass laws and discourage stolen metal sales.
Manitobans can provide their feedback through the public engagement questionnaire at EngageMB until Oct. 31.
