Shortcomings in the federal budget

The federal budget that raises some real concerns with respect to the interests of Manitoba. The cancellation of the Kelowna Accord and cuts to child care spaces will create difficulties. The increase in income taxes for those in the lowest income bracket is bad public policy. It is also of concern that the federal budget failed to touch on the clean up of Lake Winnipeg, the Canadian Centre for Public Health, the construction Canadian Museum for Human Rights, and the Floodway expansion project, all projects which are vital to Manitoba.
