Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says province may extend suspension of 14-cents-a-litre provincial fuel tax
Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said Tuesday he is considering extending his government’s fuel-tax holiday, which is set to expire at the end of June.
The government left the door open to a possible extension at the time, and Kinew said Tuesday he is considering it, although he was not prepared to make an announcement immediately. “The situation with the pipeline is something that we’re learning to live with over the next few months and we’re going to be there to help keep life affordable in Manitoba,” Kinew said.“Where’s the showmanship in telling you that now?” he joked with reporters.
“Any prolonged fuel shortage in Winnipeg over the next three months may lead to increased prices,” Tory Greg Nesbitt said.
