I believe Pallister did mention a desire for more P3's in other articles (I just can't find them now to re-post!).

I know Pallister's comment about looking at "everything" to find cost cutting (or "efficiencies", if you will) will get some folks nervous, and perhaps they are justified. However, Pallister has surprised me in the past by endorsing some fairly open-minded and, dare I suggest, "progressive" policies in the past. I have often applauded his support of the Manitoba film industry, and his recent announcement about transferring ownership of northern Manitoba air strips and marinas to Indigenous communities appears over-and-above what the NDP ever planned. Whatever Pallister is, he does not seem to be just another slash-and-burn Kenney/Moe pouty conservative.

Just IMO, of course!
