NDP Bill 31 Promises and Cabinet Pay Protections
The NDP bill 31 is described as a promise breaker by opponents. It would shield cabinet ministers from a 2008 legislated pay cut, undermining Doer era balanced budget pledges. Critics accuse Greg Selinger's government of abandoning restraint as deficits rise and debt grows while pledging hard times.

The speaker accuses Premier Selinger and his cabinet of self interest, arguing 19 ministers protect their salaries while the province faces debt and cuts to public services. Bill 31 will be heard soon and the public is urged to contact the Clerk’s Office to share views and push for change.
