The Manitoba government signed a Bilateral Housing Agreement with the Manitoba Métis Federation for $18 million to support the creation of over 70 affordable homes for Métis elders and families. Separately, Premier Wab Kinew announced new rules to address rising rental costs, stating that landlords must now receive approval from the Residential Tenancies Branch before implementing above-guideline rent increases.
