Manitoba Legislative Assembly opens amid wintry weather
A capacity crowd filled Manitoba's Legislative Building as the 27th assembly opened in brisk winds and snow. The Throne Speech outlined plans for local government reform, schools funding, a new deaf education centre, hospital expansion, and a Shellmouth Dam project with a three year review of labor laws. Backbenchers Homer Hamilton and James Mills moved the Reply, praising Dufferin and Kildonan constituencies as opposition presses prepared to criticize the program. The Manitoba Workmen's Compensation Board reported broad assessment reductions across 28 industries reflecting risk, prevention, and growth, with limited increases in a few sectors.
