Show Notes

Manitobas upcoming budget, set to be released on Tuesday, focuses on child care funding, a smaller deficit, and revenue relief measures. The plan includes wage increases for early childhood education workers, new child care spaces, and added spending on nurse training, cardiac care, police, and corrections officers. The government aims to ease the rising cost of living, with potential higher education property taxes for the top one percent. Despite a growing deficit, the government plans to hit a balanced budget by the 2027-28 fiscal year.
