IMO the reason land titles is slow has nothing to do with its private or public ownership. The biggest issue is getting constantly rejected for trivial things, like they don’t like the format of a document you submitted, or that they won’t allow the lawyer to correct something and make the owner re-submit a document. Sometimes I think they’re just trying to give people a hard time, but can’t confirm that. Speaking with colleagues, it sounds like there’s also an issue with the volume of stuff that gets thrown at them and they don’t necessarily get to a submission immediately. I find the same is true of court filings. Not sure if it’s a staff issue or something else, but I can say our filing systems in general have not changed much over the past several decades, and I can say that Manitoba seems extremely resistant to change of any kind to those systems, even if it would bring us in line with most other jurisdictions. Which to me might be the most Manitoba thing ever.
