Life is too expensive for families. We have a plan to lower your costs.

A Manitoba NDP Government Will:

• Lower taxes and bills:
  

  • Freeze hydro rates for one year to make life more affordable for Manitoba families and small businesses
  • Ban surge pricing to save you money on your Hydro bill
  • Cut the gas tax to save you 14 cents a litre at the pump every time you gas up
  • Offer a broad middle-class tax cut
  • Create an Affordable Home Energy Program to cover the costs for 5,000 homes to convert to geothermal energy

• Make life more affordable:

  • Provide universal access to free prescription birth control 
  • Bring in real $10/day childcare all year, with flexible hours
  • Implement a universal school nutrition program in every school
  • Restore funding to international student health coverage, which the PCs cut
  • Stop the PCs interference in MPI and put the interests of ratepayers first

• Increase affordable housing:

  • Build more social and affordable housing
  • Bring in a Ministerial approval process to ensure better oversight over affordable non-profit housing and stop what happened at Lion’s place from happening again
  • Invest in upkeep and maintenance of Manitoba Housing properties so we can reduce the waitlist for proper housing all across the province
  • End chronic homelessness by connecting people with housing and mental health supports
  • Bring in stronger rent control and increase the renter's tax credit to $700
  • Take the PST off new rental builds to create more affordable housing and grow the economy
