The Manitoba government narrowly survived a Liberal non confidence motion accusing it of neglecting Churchill. Gordon Beard, Churchill MLA, supported the motion but did not intend to embarrass the government. The motion failed 27 to 24. A New Democratic bid to censure over a North transition report also failed. The legislature passed spending bills authorizing a 48.37 million borrowing for capital needs and capping Manitoba Hydro borrowing at 200 million. Premier Smallwood announced Newfoundland will gain a division of consumer affairs.
