Newly re-elected Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister released his 100-Day Action Plan on Wednesday, directing ministers to fulfill its recommendations by Dec. 20.
“Our ambitious agenda builds from the significant progress made in fixing the province’s finances, repairing the services and rebuilding the economy,” said Pallister.
“Our government is dedicated to fulfilling our commitments to Manitobans, and this robust action plan will support the implementation of our Moving Manitoba Forward Guarantee, that will see record tax relief, better health care, more schools for students, more jobs for Manitobans and made-in-Manitoba climate change solutions.”
Among the action plan’s goals are:
