Manitoba requires members of its Legislative Assembly (MLAs) to disclose property they own, sources of income and investments. These disclosure forms are publicly available.

The Maple has gone through each of these disclosure forms and identified what MLAs (and/or their spouses/partners) fit into one or more of the following categories:

  • 1) “landlord”; 
  • 2) “non-residential property” (owning any property other than their personal residence or recreational property); 
  • 3) “other real estate investment” (such as investments in real estate investment trusts). 

These MLAs, along with their constituency and political affiliation, have been listed in the chart below. If your MLA does not appear in the chart, they did not meet the criteria. This chart is based on the most recent disclosure these MLAs made as of April 23, 2026, and their situation may have changed since.

Each MLA has also been categorized in the chart based upon which of the three cases above they best fit into. Some fit into multiple categories, and in that case they are categorized according to the earliest option. For example, an MLA who is a landlord but also has farmland would be categorized as “landlord.” 

An asterisk is included beside the MLA’s name if their categorization is due solely to someone other than them on their disclosure form, such as a spouse. 

We took all items in the disclosure forms into consideration for this article.

In addition to the table, The Maple has listed all relevant details from each MLA’s disclosure form and provided a link back to it. 

We included “(spouse)” beside the type of real estate involvement in this section if the disclosure form attributes it to said person.

When sharing anything from this article, please do link back to it. In addition, consider becoming a Maple member and/or making a one-time donation so we can continue putting out this sort of valuable resource. 

Here’s what we found.

Disclosures for all of Manitoba’s sitting MLAs were available at the time this data was collected. One seat in the Legislative Assembly was vacant. 

About 30 per cent of Manitoba’s MLAs met the criteria for inclusion in this article (17 of the 56 MLAs), including Premier Wab Kinew and 11 per cent of cabinet. 

Here is a breakdown by party:

  • NDP: 6 MLAs included (18 per cent of caucus)
  • Progressive Conservative (PC): 11 MLAs included (55 per cent of caucus)

In March 2021, The Maple became the first publication to make the housing investments of elected officials across the country more accessible to the public. We’ve been examining and analyzing the data on an annual basis since then, and publishing it for all to see, with no paywalls.

As a 100 per cent reader-funded publication, this has only been possible due to readers like you. If you’d like to see this project continue, consider becoming a member and/or making a one-time donation. As a non-profit, every dollar you send will be invested into our journalism.
