Growth, Enterprise and Trade Minister Cliff Cullen says all Manitobans have a role to play in helping to improve the province's financial picture.

Cullen looking back on 2016 was pleased with the April election and his party winning the right to form government.

“We took over a province that was in a pretty deep hole and it will take time to get out.”

Cullen added all groups including labour have to step up and participate in finding ways to help improve the financial outlook.

“We will continue to look for ways make it better while maintaining front line services” said Cullen.
