In 1989 a Neepawa meeting urged focus on rural Manitoba leading to a rural development department. The letter cites Doer’s 1999 budget cuts, eroding rural strength with billions in reductions, hospital closures, and the elimination of programs, urging balanced funding and an end to a hidden agenda. Larry Maguire, MLA for Arthur Virden, voices PC concerns.
