WINNIPEG — Manitoba’s government is set to lay out its plans in a throne speech today, marking a new session at the legislature.
Premier Wab Kinew has said his NDP government would continue to prioritize many areas his party campaigned on, including improving health care, growing Manitoba’s economy, improving public safety and making life more affordable.
In the past year, the government has temporarily suspended the fuel tax, hired hundreds of health-care professionals and allocated funds to public safety initiatives, including reintroducing ankle monitors.
Kinew has hinted that this year’s throne speech would also focus on uniting Manitobans from all backgrounds.
The premier recently added three new cabinet ministers, including one in charge of a new innovation and technology portfolio.
The legislature is scheduled to sit until Dec. 5.
