Provincial Treasurer Gurney Evans outlined a government administrative overhaul that could save Manitoba taxpayers about 3 million dollars annually by retiring debt earlier and tightening cash flow. The plan includes short term financing saving around 55 thousand dollars monthly and computerization to improve accounting and decision making. The project, costing roughly 750 thousand so far, involves input from external business specialists and targets improved financial management, inventory control, and staff assessment.

Speed-Up Motion In House Fails
The Manitoba government failed to push a speed-up motion through the Legislature Friday morning as NDP leader Russ Paulley adjourned debate. Attorney-General Sterling Lyon introduced the motion to begin daily sittings at 9 30 a m with no nightly adjournments while the house normally has Friday morning sessions only and no evening sittings Wednesday or Friday. Opposition leader Gil Molgat said his party would press on to finish business, blaming the government for poor organization and noting morning hours should be kept free for public committee meetings after second readings of bills.

Manitoba Lifts Limit on Driving Manual Transmission Cars
The Manitoba motor vehicle branch announced that drivers previously restricted to automatic transmissions may now drive manual cars. Highway safety director Peter Dygala said the change, enacted through the public utilities department, does not require Highway Traffic Act amendments. Licences can be updated without another road test, except in health-related special cases, because most drivers switch easily to manual gearshifts.
