Public meetings begin this week and an online survey is now available for Manitobans to provide input to help shape Budget 2022.
In a media release, Finance Minister Scott Fielding said “It’s important as we prepare for Budget 2022 that we hear from as many Manitobans as possible on their priorities. The online survey is an accessible way for those wishing to participate in the budget process to provide their feedback and share which government priority is most important to them and their families.”
In addition to the online survey at EngageMB.ca, Manitobans can pre-register to reserve a spot for an in-person meeting or to receive a phone call to participate in a telephone town hall. Participants of the in-person sessions will be expected to practise physical distancing, wear a mask and provide proof of vaccination. Meetings will be held in Brandon at the Victoria Inn Thursday (Dec 2) at 7:00 pm – and in Killarney at 11:30 am on Friday (Dec 3) at the Blarney Stone Pub & Restaurant.
