Public consultation on MB economic development plan
Public consultations on a province-wide economic development strategy have begun.
On Thursday, the Manitoba government launched a public survey to gather feedback about policies needed to bolster productivity, investment and innovation.
Consultation has been ongoing through the Premier's Business and Jobs Council over the past 14 months. Economic Development Winnipeg, the Business Council of Manitoba and Manitoba Chambers of Commerce have been tapped to gather perspectives from business leaders.
The voices of Indigenous communities, labour and municipalities are also being accounted for, a government webpage for Manitoba's economic development strategy says (
It says the incoming document is an 'enduring roadmap to enhance Manitoba's productivity and competitiveness,' leading to higher wages and per capita income.
The survey will be open until May 20.
