Stefanson also said she would ask the feds to cut the carbon tax on fuel and Manitoba Hydro bills, criticizing the federal Liberals and NDPs for maintaining the tax.
The Tuxedo candidate alluded to an affordability announcement for restaurants which is expected to come later in the week. Manitoba Liberal Leader Dougald Lamont said part of the Liberals’ platform on affordability is to address social assistance. “Ask yourself if you could survive on what you were making in 1986. Because that’s what people on social assistance have been asked to do,” he told 680 CJOB’sLamont also committed to “straightening out” the Residential Tenancies Branch to make it harder for landlords to unnecessarily raise rent, build 1,000 affordable housing units and introduce legislation which would prevent complexes like seniors housing to be sold without ministerial approval.
