Education Minister Ian Wishart said there have been ongoing discussions but no firm commitments. JOHN WOODS / THE CANADIAN PRESS By Steve Lambert The Canadian Press Sat., April 29, 2017 WINNIPEG The Manitoba and federal governments have been unable to resolve a dispute over refugee funding because they cannot agree on how many claimants walking across the border stay in the province.
