A Westman MLA has introduced a private member’s bill that would create special licence plates commemorating Manitoba’s provincial parks to help raise funds for their improvement.
Bill 211 by Riding Mountain PC MLA Greg Nesbitt would amend the Drivers and Vehicles Act to allow for the creation and sale of Manitoba Parks licence plates and then direct some portion of the proceeds generated “to a registered charity that supports projects in provincial parks.”
A release issued by the Tories on Monday said the funds would be directed toward the Provincial Parks Endowment Funds created in 2021.
The release also noted that the NDP’s 2024 budget reduced the amount of capital spending earmarked for parks.
Last year’s budget included $12.672 million for capital spending on parks, while this year’s budget sets aside $6.825 million for the same purpose.
“Our PC team has worked collaboratively with Manitobans to ensure unforgettable park experiences for generations to come,” Nesbitt said in the release. “Instead of building on this work and the priorities of Manitobans, the NDP have chosen to defund Manitoba’s natural spaces and environment.”
