Flin Flon MLA Tom Lindsey says the Manitoba budget is going to make life harder for Manitobans, particularly with the way that they’re introducing the carbon tax. 

He said that the big committers will get exemptions, but average Manitobans will pay more for gas, propane and diesel and that it will end up costing more.

Lindsey said that while in the budget Pallister talks about raising the personal exemption limit, it will help people who earn more than those with a lower income and that the people at the bottom who need help the most will get the least.

Lindsey added that they are waiting for more details on the budget, adding it talks about tourism, Look North and mining, but there were no specifics on what they are planning to do.
