Manitoba ran $1.1B deficit last fiscal year, government figures show | FULL PRESS CONFERENCE

Описание: Manitoba ran a higher-than-expected deficit in the last fiscal year and is on track to miss its target again this year.

Government figures show the province ran a deficit of $1.1 billion in the fiscal year that ended in March — $353 million higher than it originally planned.

The deficit ended up higher despite the government booking hundreds of millions of dollars from a settlement that will see major tobacco companies pay provinces for smoking-related health costs.
