Wowchuk unveils first Manitoba budget amid deficit talk
Manitoba Finance Minister Rosann Wowchuk presented her first budget forecasting a 537 million deficit as the province braces for red ink. She stressed protecting services and jobs while noting balanced budget law requires change and cited infrastructure plans worth 18 billion to spur growth and create tens of thousands of jobs. Opposition leader Hugh McFadyen criticized the plan as debt piling up, while the NDP highlight infrastructure as a growth lever with projects across the north and Swan River trust.
