Health care and ongoing deficits are expected to be major topics as the Manitoba legislature reconvenes today after the winter break.
The NDP government has said it plans to introduce 19 bills, and Premier Wab Kinew says they will include motions on staff-to-patient ratios and ending mandatory overtime for nurses.
The government is also planning to ban machetes from parks and public places, and ban employers from requiring sick notes for short-term worker absences.
