For those not inclined to follow the link, this is an announcement of a planned modernization of the manotoba.ca website. There is also a 5-minute survey on their presumably about what people want out of the update. (I'll be doing it as soon as I post this comment.)
This is great news. I've personally been complaining about the state of MB's web properties for about the last decade. In terms of finding info, they're a mess, and the various business-oriented portals are rather convoluted to use (specifically the companies office, and taxcess). I'm not sure if overhauling those is on the agenda, but presumably if they're finally moving on one property there could be some inertia there that might get the ball rolling across the board.
Even from an aesthetic perspective, the dated look of our provincial sites doesn't exactly inspire confidence to people from out of province considering moving or doing business here.
