The former PC government left a deficit of 1.6 billion dollars as of September 30th, more than 4 times what it was estimated in the spring.
Premier Wab Kinew is confident that his government will be able to deliver on its campaign promises while beginning to address the deficit.
"When we found this huge fiscal hole, step one, stop digging. That helps everybody, including workers. It helps you, as a Manitoban, to know that you have a government that is fiscally responsible."
