Manitoba promises more spending, affordability measures in pre-election budget

Manitoba’s Progressive Conservative government has signalled that it will the loosen its purse strings in the provincial budget Tuesday – its last fiscal plan before a provincial election scheduled for Oct. 3.

“That … allows us to make strategic investments in health care, education, social programming and, as you will see tomorrow, more affordability assistance for Manitobans,” Cullen told reporters at a prebudget news conference. “We’ve seen for the last few months that the PCs have been hosing the province with money in an attempt to try to put out the fires they have created,” Liberal Leader Dougald Lamont said.

The budget will also contain more aid to people struggling with the rising cost of living, albeit in a different format than a series of cheques the government has mailed to families and individuals in recent months.Manitoba has been running deficits every year since 2009, with the exception of a razor-thin $5-million surplus in 2019. The Tories have promised to balance the budget by 2028 and remain on target to do so, Cullen said.
