WINNIPEG – Manitoba Liberals say if they form the next government, they will dedicate all money from the provincial sales tax hike to municipal infrastructure.
Last year’s one per cent increase should be put in a separate fund for municipal roads and bridges, Liberal Leader Rana Bokhari said.

The money is currently being used for municipal and provincial projects, including flood-protection.
Some of the tax money collected last year was not spent and went into the government’s general revenues, Bokhari said.
The Opposition Progressive Conservatives have promised to rescind the tax hike if elected.
Bokhari said she recognizes the increased tax is here and wants to ensure it’s used for important infrastructure.
