The provincial government has released the results of their review of finances conducted by consulting firm KPMG.
Among the recommendations in the report is the use of attrition to reduce the provincial workforce by 8% over the next three years.
“After receiving a strong mandate from Manitobans after 17 years of mismanagement, reckless overspending and ever-increasing debt, the government commissioned a value-for-money review to help us restore fiscal discipline and determine whether the citizens of Manitoba were receiving value for their taxpayer dollars. As promised, we are releasing the findings of those reports with Manitobans today,” Finance Minister Cameron Friesen announced today.
The province also said another KPMG review examining the performance of Manitoba's health system will be ready for release by May 31, 2018.
