  • Provide $250K to help upgrade the Winnipeg Kinsmen Veterans Village

    "In a groundbreaking move, the PC Party unveiled a pledge to grant $250,000 to support the Homes for Heroes Foundation’s sustainability plan in the Winnipeg Kinsmen Veterans Village. This funding will aid in retrofitting and efficiency upgrades, ensuring veterans in the village benefit from energy-efficient homes while contributing to a more sustainable future for all Manitobans. Lower maintenance costs for veteran residents will be an added advantage." — pcmanitoba.com, 2023-09-22

Rental housing

We don't have any PC policies on Rental housing.

NDP
  • Increase the renter's tax credit to $700
  • Prevent landlords from applying for unnecessary/large rent increases

    "The Manitoba NDP will bring in legislation that strengthens rent control by preventing landlords from applying for unnecessary and large rent increases and prevent them from passing along increases that have not been approved. Under the NDP’s plan, landlords would also be prevented from revoking or reducing rent discounts within the first year an above-guideline increase is implemented. Kinew also promised to create oversight of affordable housing to protect seniors and other renters and bring in a $700 tax credit to make rent more affordable." — mbndp.ca, 2023-08-25
