Prime minister to meet with Manitoba premier during daylong visit to Winnipeg

Sep 1, 2022 | 2:02 AM

WINNIPEG — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is scheduled to visit Winnipeg today and meet with Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson.

Stefanson’s Progressive Conservatives have been working with the federal government on several fronts, including a recent agreement to upgrade the rail line to Churchill in the province’s north.

However, there are also points of contention.

Stefanson has asked the federal government to temporarily suspend its carbon tax in order to help people deal with inflation.

She has also criticized the federal government’s plan to cut fertilizer emissions by 30 per cent by 2030.
