The leader of the Manitoba Liberal Party thinks that the newly re-drawn provincial ridings will help his party come 2020.

Dougald Lamont spoke to Arctic Radio News and said that there are a number of areas where there won’t be an incumbent going into the next election, giving the Liberals a chance to grow.

Lamont said that when it comes to redrawn boundaries within Winnipeg, they appear to be favourable to his party.

Lamont added that when it comes to the north the cOKhanges that are happening are due to shrinking populations, something he says he wishes was not happening.
