Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger faces more unrest in cabinet; cancels meeting

  • Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger faces more unrest in cabinet; cancels meeting

WINNIPEG - More Manitoba cabinet ministers are openly questioning Premier Greg Selinger's continued leadership of the governing NDP.

Selinger has been adamant about running in the next election, slated for April 2016, but unrest with his leadership has surfaced within the last few day.

Health Minister Erin Selby is the latest to suggest the premier needs to think about his future plans.

She says Selinger has had 18 months to convince Manitobans that a controversial increase to the provincial sales taxes was the right thing to do — and she says he has failed.

Justice Minister Andrew Swan says Selinger has a "very difficult decision to make."

Selinger cancelled a cabinet meeting that was planned for Tuesday.

Earlier in the week, Municipal Government Minister Stan Struthers and Finance Minister Jennifer Howard urged Selinger to reflect on his leadership.
