Two by-elections were held on Tuesday to elect new representatives to the Manitoba Legislature for the constituencies of Morris and for Arthur-Virden. In the case of Morris, the NDP government waited nearly a year to have the vacant seat filled.
I am pleased to welcome Progressive Conservative MLAs Doyle Piwniuk representing Arthur-Virden and Shannon Martin representing Morris. Shannon is the former Executive Director of the Manitoba division of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. Doyle is a former insurance agency owner. Both Shannon and Doyle campaigned hard during difficult weather conditions and will be excellent representatives for their respective constituencies. I look forward to welcoming each of them to the Manitoba Legislature.
