  • Weekly Economic Digest
    Vol. 2, Issue 01 Province of Manitoba: Setting the Stage for 2021 Chris Ferris, Senior Economist January 8, 2021 Bottom Line Job creation and protection of vulnerable Manitobans will be the focus of the Manitoba government in 2021. Details of the plan are highlighted in the January 5, 2021 cabinet shuffle release. At the same time, the province’s evolving response to COVID-19 began late in December 2020, with the administration of a vaccine program. This is a good time to review issues on the Manitoba horizon and consider the economic outlook for 2021 in light of provincial government plans. Manitoba Finance released their 2020/21 Mid-Year Report - Fiscal and Economic Update on December 17, 2020. This report outlines the Manitoba Economic Review and Outlook and the impact of COVID-19 on provincial revenues and expenditures. It is clear that the better we can control the COVID-19 outbreak, the better economic results we are likely to see in 2021. Manitoba Government Cabinet Shuffle The January 5, 2021 Manitoba government cabinet shuffle split two departments into four as part of the focus on protecting vulnerable Manitobans and creating job opportunities. As highlighted by media outlets, the Health department will be divided into two portfolios: • Health and Senior’s Care (Minister Heather Stefanson), and • Mental Health, Wellness and Recovery (Minister Audrey Gordon). Economic Development and Training has also been split into two departments: • Economic Development and Jobs (Minister Ralph Eichler), • Advanced Education, Skills and Immigration (Minister Wayne Ewasko). COVID-19 Vaccines in Early Stages of Distribution As we start 2021, we are seeing a ray of light at the end of the tunnel.

  • Manitoba's Premier Has Shuffled His Cabinet, Do
    CTV news January 5, 2021 Manitoba's premier has shuffled his cabinet WINNIPEG -- Manitoba's premier has shuffled his cabinet, doubling up on health ministers in the middle of a pandemic, and introducing the first Black cabinet member in the province's history. During a private ceremony at the Manitoba Legislature streamed by the province on Tuesday, Premier Brian Pallister shuffled his cabinet and handed new portfolios to nine members, including three who are joining the cabinet for the first time. Among the largest shake-ups in cabinet was the changes to Manitoba's health minister. Cameron Friesen (Morden-Winkler), who had previously served as Manitoba's Minister of Health, Seniors and Active Living, was reassigned as the Minister of Justice and the Attorney General of Manitoba. Related Stories • Manitoba premier eyes added health minister during second wave of pandemic Heather Stefanson (Tuxedo), who had previously served as the Minister of Families, is now taking up the mantle of Health and Seniors Care as the province continues to be hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. But it is a job she will not be doing alone. The role of health minister in Manitoba has now been split into two positions – with Pallister bringing Audrey Gordon (Southdale) into his inner circle as the Minister of Mental Health, Wellness and Recovery. Gordon was first elected in 2019, and was among the first Black MLAs elected to Manitoba's legislature. The province said she is now the first Black MLA to become a cabinet minister in Manitoba. Before being elected, she worked as Winnipeg Regional Health Authority's director of strategic initiatives, and worked with the province in departments including health, labour and immigration, and the Multiculturalism Secretariat.
