Where can I get copies of the act and regulations?
The Personal Property Security Act (chapter P35 of the Continuing
Consolidation of the Statutes of Manitoba) came into force
on September 5, 2000.
There are two regulations: Personal Property Registry Regulation
(Manitoba Regulation 80/2000),
and Personal Property Registry Fees Regulation (Manitoba Regulation
79/2004).
The
Manitoba Queen's Printer - Statutory Publications is the
central distribution centre for acts (statutes) and regulations.
Current copies of publications are available in person, by
telephone, mail, fax or Internet.
Also, statutory publications are available for the public
to read free of charge on the Queen's Printer Statutory Publications
web site or at the Legislative library, Main Floor, 200 Vaughan
Street in Winnipeg; at the Centennial Library in Winnipeg;
at the Legislative Reading Room in the Legislative Building
at 450 Broadway in Winnipeg; and in some provincial government
offices and some university and college libraries across the
Province.
Is training available on the system?
Training for the Personal Property Registry system is available
online. This training contains the materials required to learn
the Personal Property Registry system either on a self-learning
basis OR for a teacher on a "one to one" or "in-class"
basis.
- Personal Property Registry Guide - A Word 97 formatted
guide made up of six chapters. The guide contains imported
screen shots and text boxes and will likely not import well
into other word processing packages. Word 97 or higher is
required to view and print these documents with no distortion.
- Powerpoint Slides - Created as a teaching aid for the
teacher in a classroom situation, the Powerpoints capture
the high level instruction and screen shots for each step
of each transaction in the Registry. Every screen shot in
the guide appears in these Powerpoint slides. There is no
software requirement to view these powerpoint slides; the
viewing software is self-contained.
- ScreenCams - Each transaction in the Registry is captured
as a digital movie which can be played and replayed by the
student (or the teacher) as a learning aid. The transactions
are labeled and may be launched by simply double-clicking
on the file. There is no software requirement to run these
files; they are self contained.

How do I search a name?
The new registry system is designed for public access through
the Internet and has very specific regulations to follow both
for registering and for searching names. If the debtor is
an individual, then 3 elements are required to register the
name. The same 3 elements are required to search the name:
Surname; First given name; Second given name
It is important to get the full name exactly right. The registry
system considers that differences in names are different individuals
or businesses, although it does make some allowance for variances
in spelling.
For example if the debtor is an artificial body, a business
debtor search of "Dock Enterprises Inc." will also
find "Dueck Enterprise Inc" but will not show any
registrations against "Donald Dock Enterprises Inc."
Similarly if the debtor is an individual:
- a search of "Marie Dyck" will not disclose
"Marie Daysie Dyck" or "Marie D Dyck"
- a search of " Marie Daysie Dyck" will not disclose
"Marie Dyck"
- a search of "Marie D Dyck" will disclose neither
"Marie Dyck" nor " Marie Daysie Dyck"
Note that the validity of a registration is affected if a
search under the correct name of the debtor would not reveal
the registration. Plans to discuss the adequacy of the name
search process with a review committee are underway.
