The Manitoba Government announced this morning that they'll release its 2022 provincial budget on April 12.
Manitoba Finance Minister Cameron Friesen made the announcement and said that this year's budget will provide Manitobans with the plan for the province's financial priorities along with their plans for economic and social recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Budget 2022 is about strengthening our health-care system, focusing on affordability, finding ways to invest in our communities and protecting Manitoba’s environment,” said Friesen. “We must continue to rebuild our economy and work toward resolving something that everyone is concerned about – making life more affordable.” said Friesen
Friesen also said that over 51 thousand Manitobans took part in the budget consultations over the past few months including virtual and phone town halls, virtual surveys, and email and mailed-in submissions.
The number one priority of those who answered the online survey was Healthcare. View the survey results, listen to the telephone town hall recordings, and watch recorded virtual meetings here.
