Province Rethinking Nitrogen Removal
– September 30, 2008
The Doer government wants to take a second look at whether removing nitrogen from Winnipeg's waste water is worth the huge cost. The move is an about-face for the province, which has steadfastly maintained nitrogen should be removed from waste water along with phosphorus and ammonia.

Time to Scrap the Maps, Review Water Protection Act

Cause and Effect
– April 10, 2006
Based on uncertain science, the Province of Manitoba's new regulations for nutrient loading will impose heavy costs on farmers but may do nothing to solve the problem.
