The Manitoba Government has established a new regulatory system for Manitoba teachers.

Proposed by the PC government this registry will allow the public to access a list showing whether teachers have had any suspensions or cancellations on their teaching certificate.

The NDP government also says a new system for investigating complaints against Manitoba teachers is now in place.

An independent commissioner leads the review process and cases can be referred to a hearing panel of teachers, public members, and representatives nominated by the Manitoba School Boards Association.

Tracy Schmidt, the minister of education and early childhood learning, says the change will ensure reviews are done reliably and transparently.
