Fifth Manitoba session viewed as routine with no new major push

The fifth assembly of the 26th legislature delivered a routine session with no fresh major undertakings. Expenditures for ongoing programs topped the province’s history while maintaining a balanced budget with no tax hike. Over a hundred bills were processed, mainly amendments, as the Liberal opposition increased its activity under new leader Molgat, though the government retained a strong, dignified leadership.

Political caucus battles show Liberal weaknesses and NDP gains

The session saw Liberals lack cohesion and overreact with sensational attacks, failing to unite behind a common goal. Molgat led an aggressive Liberal group with capable lieutenants Campbell and Hryhorczuk while Desjardin Guttormson and Roberts pushed belligerence. The NDP, though rebranded after the CCF-Labor merger, made little headway, led by Paulley and with strong input from Schreyer and Wright, but veterans Gray and Hawrynk faded. The NDP attacked the Labor Relations amendment, pressed for more social welfare spending, backed flood protection, conservation, and the Metro setup, clashing with the Liberals on several fronts.

Government Budget Note Sparks Currency Policy Mention
