WINNIPEG – Manitoba’s NDP government is set to introduce its first budget today since winning last October’s election.
The fiscal plan is expected to include rebates on electric vehicles, a bigger tax credit for fertility treatments, and free prescription birth control — all of which were NDP campaign promises.
The budget is also extending the fuel-tax holiday that started on Jan. 1
Premier Wab Kinew told CTV this morning the 14-cent-a-litre fuel tax will be suspended for three months longer than its initial end date of June 30.
