Official opposition leader Wab Kinew realizes our agriculture producers have been experiencing a tough stretch.
That’s why the provincial NDP leader is calling on the Manitoba government to implement $100,000 interest-free loans for farmers to cover the cost of inputs.
Kinew knows it won’t be a complete solution, but hopes it could help stabilize some producers coming off such a tough year, that are heading into more uncertainty this season.
We also learned today that premier Brian Pallister is calling for Manitoba legislature to resume next Wednesday, April 15th. Although the premier is focused on legislating enforcement measures for social distancing, Kinew says he plans to make sure agriculture producers are also top of mind.
