Legislative turmoil and new probes in Manitoba assembly
The Manitoba legislature opened a heated session with 28 Liberal-Progressives backing their cabinet and 13 opposing, as Pratt’s no confidence motion stirred partisan fault lines. Premier Bracken framed medical relief as municipal, vowing provincial aid only when municipalities falter, while new member W. K. Sexamith impressed critics with a pointed maiden speech. The day closed with calls for inquiries into farm price spreads and the Diet Adjustment Act, and a bill to grant workers one rent day per week.
