View from the legislature on Manitoba debt and spending

Manitoba debt has risen by 3.24 billion since 1999 under the NDP and now sits high per capita while other provinces cut debt. Critics point to a proposed 640 million Bipole hydro line and a 30 million new Winnipeg office building as examples of waste. They urge front line health care funding and keeping balanced budget laws.
