Manitoba's Opposition leader says he wants a provincial election held next spring instead of in 2016.
Brian Pallister says the NDP government broke many of its promises in the 2011 election, including a vote to not raise the sales tax, and should call an election in the first half of next year.
Under the province's fixed election-date law, Manitobans are expected to go to the polls in April 2016.
Premier Greg Selinger has said he will respect the law and has no plans to call an earlier election.
Pallister says his party will put forward an amendment to the law in the next session of the legislature, which is expected to start in November.
