Day two opened with an address from Kevin Rebeck, Manitoba Federation of Labour President, who brought greetings to delegates on behalf of the more than 100,000 working women and men across the province that the Manitoba Federation of Labour’s affiliates represent. The duration of the morning was spent on resolutions debate. Convention took recess at lunch because PRC elections were scheduled all afternoon.

Marianne Hladun opened Convention with an energizing address to delegates about the past three years of activism, activities and successes. Reflecting on the 50th Anniversary of PSAC, Hladun said "We’ve come a long way from our humble beginnings in 1966 and I wouldn’t think twice about saying PSAC is among the strongest unions in Canada. And it’s because of our members."
