Should the Province pass a law making winter tires mandatory in Manitoba, following the lead of Quebec who made them mandatory 2 years ago and have seen an 18% drop in accidents?
It’s been two years since snow tires became a mandatory requirement for winter driving and 547 Quebecers have avoided becoming a winter collision statistic, according to data from the Ministry of Transport (MTQ).
“For all of Quebec, we observe a 18 per cent reduction in the number of road accident victims during the year when winter tires are mandatory, compared with 13 per cent for the rest of the year,” said the MTQ in an advisory.

Today, Minister Andrew Swan said that they have no plans to introduce such a law. But they are looking at it.
"If there's a business case that can be made and we can show Manitobans that they would actually be saving money, then we'd make an argument,” said Justice Minister, Andrew Swan. “We've got no plans.”
