Over the coming weeks, the provincial government will be asking Manitobans to share their priorities for Budget 2026. MGEU members have an important role to play in that conversation.
“When government asks for feedback on the budget, it’s important that the voices of the people who deliver public services every day are heard,” said MGEU President, Kyle Ross. “These consultations are our chance to talk about the challenges we face, like filling vacancies in the public service or concerns about wages not keeping up with the cost of living. This is an opportunity to share what we think should be reflected in the next budget.”
The Province is offering several ways for Manitobans to take part in the 2026 budget consultations, including an online survey, in-person meetings, and telephone town halls.
We’re encouraging members to choose at least one of the options below and share their perspective.
If you are interested in participating in either the in-person meetings or telephone town halls, please contact the Resource Centre and MGEU will provide resources to support your involvment.
