Restaurants Canada is supportive of the Manitoba government’s support of a growing economy by staying on the path toward a balanced budget and its recommitment to cutting the PST in its first term.
“The Pallister government understands that it is important to support the economy through a healthy government,” said James Rilett, Vice President Central Canada for Restaurants Canada. “By creating the proper conditions for business to thrive, Manitoba has grown in key economic categories, which is good for all Manitobans.”
Restaurants Canada also recognized the government’s tools to assist all Manitobans through higher Basic Personal Amount increases during the next two years and its recommitment to reducing the PST in 2020.
“These are progressive measures that directly assist those who need it without harming businesses who create jobs and grow the economy,” said Rilett.
