Here's what the 2023 Manitoba election parties are promising.

PC

  • Permanently reduce the rent for agricultural Crown lands by 50%
  • Triple funding for Veterinary Service Districts

    "To improve animal welfare across the province, PCs are also pledging to triple funding for Veterinary Service Districts, which maintain clinics across the province on behalf of veterinarians and the industry. This will attract new vets to rural Manitoba, improve services for both companion and large animals, and further help livestock producers with accessible service." — pcmanitoba.com, retrieved 2023-09-17

  • Double funding for the Winnipeg Humane Society's One Health Program

    "A re-elected PC government will also double the funding committed to the Winnipeg Humane Society for the One Health Program, which provides veterinary care in underserved rural and remote communities." — pcmanitoba.com, retrieved 2023-09-17

We don't have any NDP policies on Agriculture.

Liberal

  • Create a "Debt Compromise Board" to assist in negotiating debt restructures

    "We will create a new “Debt Compromise Board” which will provide Manitoba businesses and farmers a forum where they can meet with their lender to find ways to restructure debts so we keep farmers on the farm and businesses up and running." — Dougald Lamont & the Manitoba Liberals — Real Choice, Real Change

  • Create a "Manitoba Business Development Bank" to invest in and provide equity capital for entrepreneurs, farmers, and start-ups

    "Manitoba Liberals commit to establish the Manitoba Business Development Bank with a mandate to provide equity capital and investments to Manitoba entrepreneurs, farmers and independent businesses, for start-up and scale-up of their operations. Our goal is to help Manitoba entrepreneurs, whatever their background, to grow and build wealth for themselves and the province. It will be available on First Nations and also help commercialize innovation and research at Post-secondary institutions." — Dougald Lamont & the Manitoba Liberals — Real Choice, Real Change
