Pallister Government To Focus On Protein Extraction, Water Management In Year Ahead

There were a couple of ag-related items mentioned in Tuesday's Throne Speech delivered by the province.

The Progressive Conservatives said a key priority will be making new investments in capital modernization and training to assist the agri-food sector in capitalizing on global market opportunities in protein extraction.

Manitoba will also host a protein innovation summit.

The province adds it hopes to bring forward regulations to better plan the use of water resources and enhance drainage, conserve wetlands and store water within local watershed districts.

We saw progress on carbon tax relief and capital gains, and we continue to advocate for modernized farm tax programs at both the provincial and federal levels.
