Manitoba’s chief justice and its top provincial court judge are praising government investment in Internet connectivity for the province’s northern First Nations communities but continue to note the need for greater access for all residents.
Chief Justice Marianne Rivoalen and Provincial Court Chief Justice Ryan Rolston recently commented on the Manitoba government’s announcement that it will provide $100,000 for high-speed Internet in eight First Nations communities and one youth centre in the province’s remote north.
According to a government news release, the money is coming from the Criminal Property Forfeiter Fund (CPFF) and will help the Manitoba Chiefs of Police and the Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) to establish the connections.
The CPFF seizes and liquidates assets obtained by crime and uses the funds generated to increase public safety, among other things. Earlier this month, it was used to give Winnipeg police more than $1 million for new technology, equipment and “trauma training.”
