MMF upgrading rental properties
WINNIPEG — The Manitoba Metis Federation will renovate and upgrade 645 aging public-housing units in rural, northern and remote Manitoba communities under a new agreement with the province.
The provincial government is providing $4.3 million to Community Housing Managers of Manitoba, a housing organization run by the MMF, to carry out the work.
The investment is expected to create 51 full-time jobs.

It's just a brief release but I would like to know why the MMF has anything to do with this. Why wasn't this put to public tender? Just another example of how the NDP play favorites.
