Manitoba has established the Premier’s Economic Opportunities Advisory Board in an effort to help the provincial economy recover following COVID-19.
“This board of leaders in sectors including business, technology, financial services and training will draw on its expertise to provide advice to the government on leading Manitoba’s renewed growth following the public health crisis,” said Premier Brian Pallister. “Its members will work as a team to find opportunities for economic recovery and growth, based on the strengths of Manitobans and the province’s communities and industries so Manitoba emerges stronger and more resilient than ever before.”
The board consists of 18 members from a number of business sectors including real estate, transportation, agriculture, manufacturing, education and others.
The mandate of the panel is to advise the government on ways to “harness private-sector capital and investment to recover and create jobs and economic growth across the province.”
