Questionnaire Response
What key issues / topics does your party stand for, and why are these important?
Affordability and helping Manitobans make ends meet. The NDP-Trudeau carbon tax is hurting families, as is the rising cost of living. That’s why we are committed to lowering income taxes and giving Manitobans an extra paycheque.
Community safety is also paramount. We are the only party committed to defending, not defunding the police.
We are working to heal our healthcare system and make our communities stronger.
What are the first things you will do if you form government after this election?
Within the first 10 days, we will instruct Manitoba Hydro to remove the carbon tax from Hydro bills.
We will continue our focus on healing our healthcare system and making streets safer.
We’re the only party with a plan and a vision to grow our economy.
