Neufeld refused to comment on the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan annual report noting it shows strong performance and new markets. Manitoba officials rotate key energy and mines posts, with Ian Haugh taking over and urging Russell area residents to be patient while he learns the potash project details.
Dauphin-Swan River MP Brian White said Manitoba has not faced harsher treatment in the 1989 federal budget and challenged critics to prove otherwise. He cited anti Quebec sentiment and noted VIA Rail cuts affect Quebec more, while he argues Manitoba receives equalization and equal transfer payments. He questioned evidence linking CFB Portage la Prairie's closure to politics and blamed higher interest rates for government failure.

Liberal agriculture critic Laurie Evans alleges a coordinated push to undermine the Canadian Wheat Board by removing oats and other grains from its jurisdiction. He warns the move could appease American negotiators and erode support in rural areas, while Manitoba and western provinces vow to resist any dismantling.
