REGINA, SK: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is calling on the Manitoba government to trim spending as interest payments on the provincial debt are going up by millions, according to the province's third-quarter fiscal update.
"Manitoba has a choice: it can make the tough choices to trim spending now or it can wait until rising interest costs force deeper cuts later," said Todd MacKay, Prairie Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. "Runaway deficits simply aren't sustainable and the government needs to take action to trim spending."
