Manitoba government adds more money to job program after facing criticism

Minister Ian Bushie increased funding by $300,000 for the Green Team program, benefiting non-profit groups and municipalities to hire young individuals in the summer.
The funding adjustment followed a budget cut to the program, reducing it to $5.6 million from $9.6 million. Bushie's decision was influenced by discussions with affected organizations.
Bushie remains open to further funding adjustments, while the Opposition believes the additional $300,000 is insufficient and advocates for a return to previous funding levels.
