Premier Brian Pallister says the Conservatives will use their second term to build the province.

"We've repaired the foundation of the Province of Manitoba over the last few years, but now we get to build and that's really exciting. We can improve our health care, reduce our wait times for our seniors and all of us who need it, and continue to create jobs for young people, so more young people can stay in our province. Families can grow together here. It's a beautiful province, but we want to have more opportunities for people to get great careers."

Pallister says while he is disappointed that a few Conservative MLAs were defeated Tuesday, they still have a very strong majority.

"We lost some MLAs who are my friends, so, obviously, I'm not happy about that. But it is the largest back-to-back majority government victory in the history of the Province of Manitoba so it's pretty hard to be anything but honoured by that."

The Premier says he appreciates the confidence that Manitobans have placed in him and his team to lead the province forward.

Voters in Manitoba have given the Progressive Conservative Party a second consecutive majority government. Final standings show the Conservatives with 36 seats in the Legislative Assembly, the NDP with 18, and the Liberals with three.

That's three fewer seats than at dissolution for the PC's while the NDP gained six and the Liberals lost one. Voter turnout was 55.4 per cent.
