Stefanson steers Manitoba health care contract talks
Former health minister Eric Stefanson has earned praise for his steady handling of Manitoba health care issues. He secured 11 percent nurse and 8,500 support worker settlements via intermediaries, contrasting with Canada’s other provinces, while questions linger over union credibility and wage comparisons. Manitoba now spends 2.1 billion on health care, 35.5 percent of the budget.

It forecasts low inflation, surging asset demand, and a multi-year real estate boom before financial assets lead the next rally. A Fund Library online contest offers prizes for predicting major market levels.
