Brian Pallister has announced the start of the Manitoba Works plan, with the goal of creating new private-sector job opportunities.
To create the 40,000 jobs, the province will focus on improving investment in the province so existing companies can expand, attracting new investment, fast-tracking the development of Manitoba’s skills, talent, and knowledge strategy to accelerate talent acquisition and business expansion, and using a targeted new trade strategy to expand export markets.
In a press release, Pallister says Manitoba led the country in private sector investment growth.
“We’re going to build on this momentum by opening up new markets, creating more opportunities and expanding economic prosperity in our province.”
Pallister adds the province will build on their success building a better environment for economic growth and job creation, which includes lowering the PST to seven per cent from eight per cent, moving toward balanced budgets through responsible deficit reduction and reducing the total number of regulatory requirements across government by almost 80,000 since 2016.
