en.Wedoany.com Reported - Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew announced plans to simplify the province's mining regulations in order to boost the resource industry's contribution to the economy. Speaking at a Manitoba Chambers of Commerce event in Winnipeg, Kinew declared, "Dig, baby, dig," and suggested that this phrase should serve as the province's motto.

Although the Port of Churchill expansion remains a flagship project, Kinew believes Manitoba should draw lessons from Saskatchewan's resource-driven economic growth model. He noted that there is strong interest from all sectors in advancing mining activities in Manitoba, and the provincial government should make full use of existing resources.

Kinew emphasized that the New Democratic Party government, elected in late 2023, had previously focused primarily on healthcare but is now ready to review regulations in the resource sector. He stated that the current phase should consider eliminating mining regulations that do not contribute to promoting health and safety or that are not in compliance with constitutional requirements.
