Manitoba premier works on tax-cut pledge as business group calls for more

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says his government is working on the definition of a grocery store as it considers where to apply a tax cut on food.
Owners of convenience stores and restaurants have cried foul and asked to be included in the tax cut, while the Canadian Federation of Independent Business has launched a petition to have the tax cut extended to all food retailers.
The Opposition Progressive Conservatives say the tax cut won't go far because most food items are already tax-free, and the government estimates the tax cut will cost the province $32 million a year in revenue.
