Provincial Election Priority Recap

Election Day is coming up next Tuesday – do you know who you’re voting for?

The Winnipeg Construction Association has identified three key priorities for the construction industry, which you can read up on at our election website. Today, we’re introducing our fourth and final video, which gives a brief overview of our priorities and why they matter to the industry and the province.

Watch the video below, and keep scrolling to see what each political party had to say about our election priorities.

If you’d like to see the full videos for our three priorities you can find them at the links below:

Priority 1 – Building a Strong Inclusive Workforce with Ellowyn Nadeau
Priority 2 – Improving Public Procurement with Peter Bernatsky
Priority 3 – Supporting Manitoba’s Infrastructure with Roger Tuk

Provincial Parties Respond to our Priorities

In the summer, we reached out to the Progressive Conservatives, the Manitoba NDP and the Manitoba Liberals to get their perspective on each of our priorities. We’re pleased to report all three parties have gotten back to us.

You can find their responses to all nine of our questions (three per priority) on our election website, www.togetherwebuild.ca. You can also find the response from each party in PDF form at the links below:
