Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister announced this morning their plans to support those who need economic relief. He says they are providing a four month deferral period for individuals and businesses to pay their provincial income taxes, that period will extend to August 31st of this year with no interest or penalties. He reports they are providing a six month deferral period for any interest or penalties for Manitoba Hydro or Centra Gas bills, for MPI premiums, for Workers Compensation Board Premiums and also for education property tax.
Pallister adds for those who can pay their taxes and bills do so as that is the money the government depends on for their income.
