MANITOBA
January 24 Update/correction

In the most recent Canadian Social Research Newsletter (Jan.22, 2012)
http://www.canadiansocialresearch.net/personal/news220112.htm
... I passed along the new name of Department responsible for welfare in Alberta, Manitoba, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador.
I incorrectly identified the Manitoba Department responsible for welfare as Family Services and Labour [ http://www.gov.mb.ca/fs/ ].
I meant Entrepreneurship, Training and Trade (ET&T)

A Manitoba Government official notified me to correct an error in the name of their welfare department. In the Manitoba government departmental reshuffling, welfare (income assistance) was moved out of the Department of Family Services and Labour (formerly Family Services and Consumer Affairs) to the Department of Entrepreneurship, Training and Trade (ET&T):
http://www.gov.mb.ca/ctt/index.html
...but as at January 24, the Manitoba ET&T website had zero content on income assistance, welfare or Employment and Income Assistance (the provincial welfare program). The Manitoba Cabinet was announced just recently, though, so the Web updating team is still in the process of changing the Manitoba govt. websites to reflect the new ministrial responsibilities and the new mandates in existing departments.

The Bottom line:

Manitoba govt. websites are being updated to reflect new govt. mandates; this may take a few more weeks...
The Dept responsible for welfare in Manitoba is Entrepreneurship, Training and Trade.
