We've got to make sure there's real ability for family farmers to sell their product at a fair price," he said. More vacation homes, like in small towns, are also on [Steve Ashton]'s list.
Ashton's team says these positions are going to supporters of rival candidate [Greg Selinger]. Ashton's team says if union members don't want the credentials, they should stay unfilled.
"All we're asking for is a fair process that reflects our constitution as a party but also what most Manitobans would consider to be a fair process," Ashton said Monday. "For me making sure that the delegate selection process is above and beyond reproach is absolutely critical. I keep stressing we're not just electing leader, this is not just an internal election, the leader is going to be the premier.

We need to end our dependence on handouts from Ottawa. We depend on Ottawa for 40 per cent of provincial revenues, an all time high," said [Hugh McFadyen] Saturday. "We need to get back on our own two feet and I think we need to set ourselves a goal of being completely free from federal equalization within 20 years.
"We've come through some difficult times. We have a new party, we have a new policy process and a new constitution," said [Trevor Sprague]. "We're doing a good job."
"We overreached on that one," McFadyen said to applause. "If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have done it... I don't generally need to be taught the same lesson twice."

At the other end of the nationhood debate sits the Liberal Party, the entity from which the renewed, divisive debate on Québec's status has sprung. Toronto MP Michael Ignatieff is congratulating himself for having forced the government's hand on the issue when, in September, to serve his political aspirations, he proposed reopening the Constitution to grant Québec nationhood within the confederation. The party followed suit with a resolution set for this week's leadership convention that would have recognized the "Québec nation within Canada" with a process to determine how to "officialize" that status. That is no longer the plan, the party's Québec wing proposes to withdraw that resolution calling Mr. [Stephen Harper]'s motion a victory for Liberals.

[Denis Rocan] was speaking publicly for the first time since Elm Creek farmer Blaine Pedersen won the nomination contest by about two votes to one. Rocan has represented [Carman] since 1986, and said he will continue to represent it until the next election is called.
I have followed the rules that were laid out for me to the letter," Rocan said. "I dotted every I and crossed every T. Unfortunately the individual who ran against me did not.
Rocan alleges Pedersen never filed his nomination papers properly with the riding association president, as required by the Tory constitution. Instead, Rocan alleges, Pedersen filed the papers with party headquarters in Winnipeg.

Other candidates say we need recognition for Quebec, but that the constitutional recognition of Quebec as a nation is too difficult," said [Michael Ignatieff], the MP for Etobicoke-Lakeshore.
"It's not an ideal situation, but it doesn't prevent Canada from being a great country, the fact that we have a constitutional problem," said [Stephane Dion], the MP for Saint-Laurent-Cartierville, who introduced the Clarity Act to Parliament when he was intergovernmental affairs minister in Jean Chretien's government.
"It's dangerous for the Liberal party to promise that we will change the Canadian constitution," said [Bob Rae]. "We tried to do it, and all I can tell you from my own experience is that it's not easy to do. The negotiations are difficult and the ratification is difficult.
