The Manitoba government will write-off an eighty-two million dollar loan which helped in financing the construction of Investors Group Field, home to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Premier Brian Pallister says that the write-off is necessary to save the team, and that the current payment structure is unsustainable. 

A big reason for the write-off is the fact that the Bombers got a break on interest on the loan, until this year. Without the break in interest payments, interest itself will come in at around four million dollars annually.

The province had earlier forgiven another one-hundred and eighteen million dollar portion of the loan which was set up by the former NDP government.
