Moratorium Act May Favor Banks Says Winnipeg Letter
The Manitoba moratorium act delays real estate mortgage and sale actions for six months after default and suspends ongoing cases for six months from enactment.

Critics say the law discriminates against debtors and benefits lenders, banks, and speculators, harming overall commerce and investment inflows.
