Since Hwy. 16 is also part of the TCH , I doubt Manitoba will ever put any extra cash into it to twin it. Alberta and Saskatchewan might but they also get a lot more use out of this highway (and as such have already upgraded much of it to a twinned route)

At this point, when I drive from Edmonton to Winnipeg, it's much faster to just drive to Saskatoon, down to Regina, and then follow the #1 to Winnipeg. Two-lane highways can really slow you down if there's ANY traffic on the road. I don't think the traffic warrants two twinned highways, especially since SK 11 from Saskatoon to Regina also runs south-east.
