In the first throne speech since Heather Stefanson became Manitoba’s premier, the Progressive Conservative government promises to re-examine changes proposed to rural health care, ensure more graduating nurses stay in the province and introduce a strategy to reduce homelessness.
Stefanson’s first throne speech, an 11-page document obtained by CBC News Monday evening, lays out the first steps of the new premier’s effort to set herself apart from her unpopular predecessor, Brian Pallister.
The historic speech — the first prepared by a female premier — is scheduled to be read by Lt.-Gov. Janice Filmon on Tuesday afternoon.
