The Manitoba Health Services Commission breakdown covers Administration 7 124 900 Personal Care Home Program 38 022 000 Hospital Program 198 597 000 Medicare 68 360 000 Pharmacare 5 000 000 Ambulance Program 1 300 000 Other Programs 400 000. The federal share nears half of health costs, while future costs remain vague. The pas CET, Manitoba Forest Resources Ltd and Dent al care plans are discussed along with Dairy Act whey plant at Selkirk and tax relief for flooded farmers. Opposition targets Autopac subsidies and calls for road and highway funding instead. The debate grows heated as Premier Schreyer’s statements on Autopac are revisited.
