NDP members of legislature are blocking the reading of the Finance Minister's budget.
The Manitoba government was set to introduce its budget yesterday afternoon.
The provincial government is calling the NDP’s move an “abuse of parliamentary privilege” and “very disrespectful to the guests and media who have come to the legislature for the presentation of Budget 2020.”
NDP Leader Wab Kinew, who has previously criticized Pallister's focus on tax and spending cuts as hurting the province, says yesterday's move was a procedural tactic to block the budget.
The provincial government is saying they intend to bring the budget forward for consideration in the legislature on Thursday.
