Manitoba deficit forecast rises to 498.4 million in 1982 83
Manitoba projects a 1982 83 deficit of 498.4 million dollars up from 343.5 million due to the national recession and revenue losses. Finance Minister Vic Schroeder notes major drops in corporate income tax and federal EPF transfers, offset by a small personal tax gain. The report says the larger deficit reflects recession driven revenue declines and emphasizes ongoing expenditure control.
