The Manitoba government first introduced Restoring Safe Services: Manitoba's Pandemic and Economic Roadmap for Recovery on April 29, 2020. This announcement set out the province's multi-phased plan to gradually lift restrictions on Manitoba businesses and services, which launched on May 4, 2020.

Phases one and two of the province's plan to reopen businesses are now reflected in public health orders under the Public Health Act  (Manitoba), which will remain in effect until terminated (the "Reopening Orders"). Retail and other businesses and services listed in Schedules A and B of the Reopening Orders may open starting June 1 subject to restrictions set out in the Reopening Orders. The operators of businesses listed in Schedule C must remain closed for the period of June 1 to June 30. The Reopening Orders issued on May 29 replace the orders issued on May 21, and can be accessed here.

Not Beyond Reproach: Alberta Court Confirms Jurisdiction Over Alberta Energy Regulator

The Alberta Court of King's Bench has confirmed its jurisdiction to grant injunctive relief against the Alberta Energy Regulator despite a broadly worded statutory privative clause.
