Craik Presses Federal Help on Manitoba Tax Cut
Finance Minister Donald Craik says he urged the federal government to share more of Manitoba's provincial sales tax cut during federal provincial talks. Manitoba will cut the tax by three percent with the feds reimbursing two thirds of revenue costs, a plan Craik and Premier Sterling Lyon say was foisted on provinces. He argues full federal payment would free funds for programs like summer jobs while financing in about 60 thousand dollars in bonds.
