Premier Brian Pallister stopped in the Morden-Winkler constituency Saturday, as part of ongoing campaigning ahead of the Provincial election.

With the September 10th election day fast approaching, Pallister says the PC Party is excited for the potential Manitoba is facing in terms of progress.

"We've got lots of challenges, but we're facing those. We've got great plans to build 20 more schools here in the next ten years, we've got plans to remove that education tax off properties. That's been a thing other provinces have already done, and we think that's an important step, to lower taxes, not just in that category, but to lower the PST. By taking the PST off a number of things, we can put more money back on the kitchen tables of Manitoba families."

He says many families need that support, and they deserve the chance to make their dreams come true. When families have more money, they can contribute to the economic growth of the province, and create new opportunities for future generations, says Pallister.

Touring hasn't been Pallister's only means of reaching Manitobans, noting they've connected with over 50,000 residents through electronic town halls.

When it comes to rural regions, he says they're the only party to mention to rural Manitoba.

"I come from rural Manitoba, and I have a perspective that perhaps other leaders don't, in terms of the importance of rural issues," says Pallister. "We're moving forward on things on value-added agriculture investments. We're seeing money coming in from other countries and around the world, and also internally being invested in new opportunities right here."

With the Morden-Winkler constituency facing critical infrastructure needs such as four-laning Highway 32 and the regional Waste Water Treatment project, Pallister says these concerns have been raised, and are considerations. However, he says he will not make promises for the completion of projects to receive votes, as Manitoba needs to invest strategically.

"We are boosting our infrastructure commitment, which was already close to record highs, by nearly $50 million. I think that's quite significant. What's most significant is our commitment to work in partnership with our rural governments, to make sure we're doing the highest priority projects that have the greatest benefit to job creation."

After Saturday, Pallister and his team will have driven over 8,000 km in the last month visiting each of the 57 constituencies, the final being Borderland.
