The Manitoba legislature is back in session after yesterday’s throne speech from Lt.-Governor Janice Filmon. Education reform, which was shelved when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, is to proceed in the new year, as the government has hinted that changes could reduce the number of school divisions. The Brian Pallister conservatives also promise to reform welfare and cut a major property tax. Just half the usual number of politicians were present to comply with COVID-19 rules and ensure physical distancing.
