Debate over Estimates Scrutiny Highlights Manitoba Legislature
The Manitoba Legislature debates 1972-73 estimates with 90 hour total and 4½ hour per department limits aiming for equal scrutiny. Ministers face lengthy speeches, opposition rebuttals, and calls for tighter review as Industry & Commerce consumes much debate time amid wider concerns on budgeting and future energy costs lowering pace of House. The discussion touches Autopac, North, port development, and Manitoba Hydro rate prospects.
