Manitoba Opposes Federal Social Services Funding Change
Manitoba Health and Social Development Minister Laurent Desjardins condemned Ottawa's plan to replace 50 percent cost-sharing with annual population tied grants for social services. He urged a federal provincial welfare ministers conference to protect future expansion and cited risks to services for the aged handicapped mentally retarded and neglected children. Desjardins stressed the need for continued cooperation and questioned unclear provisions and potential penalties on expansion.
