The closing days of the Special Power Session centered on Bill No. 5 endorsing the Manitoba Flood Relief Fund actions and the plan to transfer remaining monies to a national disaster fund. Opponents argued against endorsing a committee discharge without full audit detail and feared unresolved claims. proponents pressed for immediate passage.
