Minister's Biography

Welcome to the Website for Manitoba Labour and Immigration, where you’ll find a wide range of information on the Department’s programs and services.

Manitoba Labour and Immigration has an important role in furthering the social, economic and cultural well-being of Manitobans. Our areas of responsibility include labour relations, employment standards, workplace safety and health, immigration and multiculturalism, public safety, and employment pensions. The Department works to make our province a safer place to work and live, to ensure employees are treated fairly and equitably, and to foster a stable labour relations climate where both businesses and workers can benefit. The Department also works to increase immigration to Manitoba and to help newcomers make our province their home. The Immigration and Multiculturalism Division has a leading role in developing policies and programs to promote immigration, such as the Provincial Nominee Program, and coordinating the settlement and integration of immigrants and refugees into the social and economic life of Manitoba.

As we move forward in making Manitoba a better place to work and live, there will be regular updates to our Website. I invite you to visit this site often and hope you find it informative and useful. I welcome your ideas and comments. Please let me know how we can improve this site so that it continues to serve your needs, or if you have any questions about our services.
