The Manitoba Real Estate Association

Thursday afternoon, members of the Manitoba Real Estate Association led by President Ron Tardiff and Executive Director Brian Colle were at the Manitoba Legislature to meet with MLAs and to talk about their issues. One of the top issues for members of the association is a reduction in the amount of education tax present on property in Manitoba. I was able to tell members of the association that the Manitoba Liberal Party would reduce education property taxes by 50% in the first four years of a provincial Liberal government, so that 80% of education funding would be provided provincially instead of the present situation where less than 60% is provided provincially.

For more information on the Liberal position see:
