A construction company lobby group has been found to have breached Manitoba’s Election Financing Act.
Elections commissioner Bill Bowles ruled the Merit Contractors Association of Manitoba contravened the act when it spent more than $17,000 on advertising during the 2019 provincial election period without registering with Elections Manitoba.
The association’s ads promoted legislation promised by the Progressive Conservative party that would allow non-union construction companies to bid and work on public projects.
Bowles investigated the matter after receiving a complaint from the Manitoba Building Trades.
