The Manitoba Liberal Party believes that the 2018 Provincial Budget is taking from the poor and giving to the rich. Manitoba Liberal Leader Dougald Lamont said in a press release that the Pallister Government is using federal funds to finance a tax cut for himself and the richest of Manitobans instead of investing in healthcare, social services, and education.

The Liberals have also said that the PCs are cutting funding to the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba in the middle of a crystal meth crisis. They have made cuts to fire prevention and emergency preparedness on First Nations and they have made cuts to people on income assistance.
