Wally Daudrich, a candidate for the Progressive Conservative nomination in Turtle Mountain, aims to prioritize the construction of an oil refinery and the enhancement of oil and gas production in Manitoba. He advocates for sourcing energy locally and improving infrastructure, including rural gasification and water retention, to transition the province towards self-sufficiency. Daudrich, who garnered 80 percent support in a recent leadership contest, is also interested in the role of infrastructure minister if elected in the upcoming provincial election in October 2027.
