Minister's Message

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the official Web site of Manitoba's Department of Finance.

Our site has been designed to help you look up information relating to Manitoba's economy and our budgetary and fiscal policies as quickly and as efficiently as possible. It also outlines some of the steps our government has taken so far to improve financial management and reporting practices in Manitoba: details are available in a summary of our government's Transparency and Accountability Initiatives. Moreover, this site includes vital information on what we are doing to foster business and consumer confidence in the marketplace and create a system that sustains a competitive Manitoba economy with fair and ethical business practices.

You will find here information, forms, guidelines, brochures, reports and other document relating to:

• Manitoba's taxes, including administration, compliance, audit and enforcement programs
• Landlord and tenant affairs
• Manitoba income tax and tax credit programs
• Programs and initiatives to protect consumers and investors
• The investment and debt management activities of the Manitoba Government
• Intergovernmental financial relations, and Manitoba's economic and fiscal policies
• The regulation of financial institutions and cooperatives in Manitoba
• Vital statistics
• The registration of information about corporations and business names
• The regulation of a number of Manitoba public utilities, such as Manitoba Hydro and the Manitoba Public Insurance

As I am the Minister responsible for French Language Services, this site also outlines Manitoba's policies and practices in this area.

I hope that the information we are providing on our Website is both useful and informative to you. If you have any questions about our services, please e-mail us at Manitoba Finance.

Minister of Finance,
Greg Selinger
