Growing Manitoba's Film Industry
A re-elected PC government will add an additional 10% to our existing film production tax credits to film productions filmed in Manitoba that use at least 50% music made by Manitoba artists.
Additionally, a $4.5M funding commitment to supporting mixed-use sound stages in Manitoba, will ensure that we have the facilities and personnel to attract future productions and artists in Manitoba.
Improve Animal Welfare in Manitoba
PCs pledge to triple funding for Veterinary Service Districts, which maintain clinics across the province on behalf of
veterinarians and the industry.
A re-elected PC government will also double the funding committed to the WInnipeg Humane Society for the One Health Program, which provides veterinary care in underserved rural and remote communities.
Supporting Aquaculture
A re-elected PC government will provide $20M to support the growth of the aquaculture industry in Manitoba.
Highlighting a first of its kind project farming arctic char in the RM of Rockwood, the Sapphire Springs project will provide hundreds of jobs for the interlake region.

3 Key Priorities for Growth
-
Expanding markets for Manitoba goods and services, and building the infrastructure to get them to market;
-
Incentivizing employers to train up their workforce and work with the province to certify internationally educated professionals in their profession; and
-
Making Manitoba’s tax system more competitive with neighbouring jurisdictions, and allow businesses and workers to keep more of their income.
100,000 Jobs
We will work to continue working to address labour shortages. To help fill 100,000 jobs over the next 5 years, a re-elected PC government will start a permanent skills training and recruitment fund with an initial $16M investment.
This fund aims to target sectors with the most in-demand labour gaps, with programming to support skills training and recruiting initiatives for workers in Manitoba.

A re-elected PC government will eliminate the Payroll tax over 8 years, with a 50% reduction in 4 years.
Removing PST on Plants
