Manitoba's finance minister says a bill will be put before the legislature to start a fuel-tax holiday starting this coming New Year's Day, which is to run for at least six months,
Adrien Sala says the suspension of the province's 14-cent-a-litre fuel tax could be extended based on economic conditions, but exactly what would trigger the extension has not been worked out.
The gas tax holiday is one of several measures outlined for Sala in a mandate letter from Premier Wab Kinew.
It fulfills an N-D-P campaign promise to halt the fuel tax until inflation subsides.
