Manitoba to spend on job creation amid U.S. trade battle: finance minister

The Manitoba budget will include new spending aimed at creating infrastructure jobs and will reduce payroll tax for approximately 1,000 businesses, according to government sources reported by The Canadian Press.
Finance Minister Adrien Sala stated the budget will focus on building to create jobs and protect the economy from U.S. Tariffs.
Premier Wab Kinew hinted at possibly phasing out the payroll tax, comparing Manitoba with provinces like Saskatchewan and Alberta that do not have such a levy.
Political analyst Paul Thomas noted there is little evidence that the government is controlling spending to balance the budget effectively.
