Manitoba: the official figures for 2026

These are all the figures of jurisdictions.manitoba in the data file: eight loose figures and six tables with 23 rows, each with the statute it comes from, when it took effect and how far it has been verified.

Updated September 6, 2026 · Figures verified against the statutes of each jurisdiction · see all figures and their sources

It is one of the 14 pages of the Jurisdictions block, inside official figures. The raw data is in legal-data-2026.json.

Verified: Read in the primary source: the consolidated text of the statute or regulation itself.
Secondary source: The rule and the starting figures are official, but the resolved figure is not published by any authority: we work it out and show the arithmetic.
Not yet verified: We have not been able to confirm it against the primary source yet. It appears here for transparency and is not published as a firm figure on any other page of the site: the production build stops if anyone tries.
