Manitoba Legislature Ends Long Session With Five Percent Sales Tax
A Manitoba news summary notes the 28th Legislature's first session lingers into two years, approving a five percent general sales tax and a wide range of actions. The piece highlights 120 bills, a compulsory medicare plan, higher MLA pay, a $354 million budget, language instruction changes, liquor advertising rules, and debates on a permanent Speaker with James Bilton praised for fairness. Noting long hours and procedural stalls, it observes cross‑party weariness and calls for reforms to speed future proceedings.
