Manitoba Throne Speech Details Aid to Elderly and Schools
The throne speech outlines extensive provincial aid measures to municipalities, school boards, farmers and rural development. It includes eliminating hospital and medical premiums for those over 65, extending insured coverage for nursing homes and home care, and boosting social assistance to reflect living costs. It also promises higher per pupil grants, a municipal loan fund, police aid for smaller towns, and expansion of health and dental supports, along with a study on dental and chronic drug costs and new works programs.
