Budget Talks: Last week the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce brought members voices to the provincial legislature when they sat down to speak with Finance Minister Cameron Friesen. They presented their Budget 2018 submission. This year, they based their new strategic plan and the suggestion that the budget be used as a document that shows the path towards long-term growth in Manitoba and how the government plans to lead that growth.
