The prime minister is presenting a false choice that until we are through #COVID19, we cannot address growing health-care wait times. @JustinTrudeau has said “now is not the time to address the issue.” I say, “when is a better time?” The time to act is NOW. #cdnpoli #mbpoli Retweeted by Manitoba PC Caucus

Today I distributed Bill 50: The Legal Aid MB Amendment Act in the Legislature today. This updates the tariff of fees paid to the private bar, and will now give Legal Aid authority over the tariff. #mbpoli Retweeted by Manitoba PC Caucus

Too many Canadians are waiting in pain, and #COVID19 has made a bad situation worse. Every premier is united in our call for a true funding partner on health care. We are asking today - again - that @JustinTrudeau be that true partner. bit.ly/30aV0hF #mbpoli #cdnpoli Retweeted by Manitoba PC Caucus

In summary,bills would have been made public weeks ago but for the Liberals denial of that request. Even so, bills will be public weeks earlier than under the NDP which usually resumed session in April, which is when they would introduce their spring legislation. /4 #MBPoli Retweeted by Manitoba PC Caucus

The Liberals denying making these bills public over the last couple of months meant legally they could only be distributed when the House is sitting. That begins today and bills will begin to be distributed. /3 #MBPoli Retweeted by Manitoba PC Caucus

Government then asked for permission of the House to distribute this legislation during January and February. This would have allowed the public to see the bills weeks before the traditional spring sitting. The Liberals denied this permission. /2 #MBPoli Retweeted by Manitoba PC Caucus

In Manitoba,legislation is traditionally introduced in the Spring Session. This has become difficult in recent years as the NDP have filibustered the Legislature for weeks at a time. As a result, government introduced legislation months earlier than normal in November. /1 #MBPoli Retweeted by Manitoba PC Caucus
