Manitoba cabinet plots broader drinking age shift
Industry Minister Bob Banman proposed a 19-year drinking age with Albert Driedger leading a second attempt as Conservatives hold a strong majority. The plan aims to curb underage access near border towns and boost liability for liquor sales while allocating funds to business growth, rural infrastructure, and the Portage la Prairie food centre expansion. Health and social benefits face cuts including hospital bed charges, eyeglasses, drugs, and dental care reviews, with various ministers debating costs and public impact.
