ArticlePublisher: Toronto : IPAC, December/Décembre 2008Canadian Public Administration 51, 4, p. 637-658Abstract: Rapid changes in the hog industry in Manitoba have resulted in a gap in the province's resource and environmental policy regime. Concerns about potential, uncertain environmental impacts and an outdated regulatory framework led to a moratorium on new hog industry operations and a provincial hearing. Based on extensive literature, documentary and legislative reviews, this article explores the role of monitoring, and the potential for community-based monitoring specifically, to address these policy issues. Given the non-point nature of the pollution in question, the social and economic conditions in southern Manitoba and the strengths of community-based monitoring initiatives, this approach is a promising solution. Furthermore, the existing legal framework provides an existing grounding through which the program could be vested with authority
