Manitoba Budget Sparks Election Talk and Limestone Start
Finance Minister Schroeder unveiled a 3.6 billion Manitoba budget on March 22 1985 amid fears of a fall election as Limestone hydro project moves ahead. The plan projects a 500 million deficit this year with 1.8 billion total debt, plus payroll and fuel tax tweaks, and 20 million in loans for farmers. The report also notes hospital budget freezes, debates on funding independent schools, and opposition concerns over Limestone cost and early construction.
