Manitobans got a glimpse on Friday of what a PC government would look like, as leader Brian Pallister delivered his Fresh Energy, New Ideas: Priorities for a Better Manitoba alternative throne speech at the legislature.

Spruce Woods MLA Cliff Cullen says the speech focused on five key values. “The five values are trust, compassion, common sense, inclusion and teamwork.”

“Trust to bring integrity back to government, compassion to put caring at the centre of our work, common sense to ensure value, inclusion to create opportunity for all, and teamwork to partner for prosperity – these will be our guiding values should we be privileged to form government” said Cullen.

The PC Party also set out 20 action items stemming from the values outlined in his speech including reducing ambulance fees, shrinking the size of cabinet by one-third, introducing a new open government bill, and promoting a new relationship with Aboriginal Peoples.

Cullen knows voters are ready for change. “Manitobans need a new government they can trust, with fresh energy and new ideas – a government that demonstrates Manitoba values each and every day in every decision it makes..”

The NDP government will bring down its throne speech as the next session of the Manitoba Legislature starts Monday, November 16th.
