The province says the cut will cost $32 million a year and is weighing whether convenience stores and restaurants should qualify.
- 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.

- 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.
