Premier Brian Pallister is promising a tightly focused throne speech that continues his theme of fixing the economy.

Provincial politicians have a week break between sessions before the Progressive Conservative government will deliver its second throne speech since taking office last April.

Lieutenant Governor Janice Filmon will read the throne speech on Nov. 21.

​"I think the difference you'll see as opposed to the previous administration is that they had dozens of priorities and you can't have dozens of priorities and get anything done. So we have a focused approach, a few key areas," Pallister told reporters.

The PC government was able to deliver on a number of promises made in its first throne speech, but a "made-in-Manitoba" climate change solution is a large promise that hasn't been fulfilled.

The PC government passed a total of nine bills this session. Some didn't raise much controversy, such as the Protecting Children Act, which helps authorities share information, and the Sexual Violence Awareness and Prevention Act that obligates Manitoba post-secondary institutions to create policies that raise awareness of sexual violence.

Some bills brought protests and long committee meetings to the Legislature.

Bill 7 amends the Labour Relations Act, making a vote by secret ballot mandatory before a union can be certified. Unions stormed the Legislature and railed against this bill as being anti-labour.

Another bill strikes deep into the pocketbook of the New Democratic Party.

Bill 9, the Election Financing Amendment Act, removes the annual allowance for registered political parties and will now force the NDP to invigorate its fundraising to replace the lost funding.

It may not have been a packed legislative agenda this fall, but Pallister said he was proud of his government's first several months.

"What we may have lacked in quantity we made up for in quality," said Pallister, touting bills such as the Protecting Children Act.

But the Liberals say more could have been done.

Interim Liberal leader Judy Klassen says her party has been generous allowing the PCs and the NDP to get comfortable, but it's time to start making decisions.

"We gave the team a lot of time to learn their new roles, but we still see there is a struggle in the PCs that they are not fitting in to their new role as government — and as well with the opposition in their new role as critics. It has been six months, the time for action is now," Klassen said.

NDP interim leader Flor Marcelino says the PC government is sitting on too many decisions and not making it clear where the Tories are taking the province.

"This government should have bills that boost the economy, job creation. We ask questions: what are your plans for childcare spaces? What are your plans for affordable housing?" Marcelino told reporters.

When pressed for details of the coming throne speech, Pallister says he doesn't want give too much of the story away or "people wouldn't want to see the movie."
