Cannan says priority is to support people not necessarily businesses
"We need to get out of the Covid view that government has to support everyone in all business sectors", according to the chief minister.
It's after a large number of local businesses have had to close their doors since the pandemic and the current cost of living crisis.
Alf Cannan was asked whether there should be more help available in these challenging financial times.
He told Manx Radio focusing on the priorities in the Island Plan will ultimately make the biggest difference:
Farmers' union calls for stronger legislation to tackle ongoing problem of sheep worrying
Steam train offers extra commuter service amid bus strikes
1-2% of vehicles on Island's roads untaxed
Manx Utilities says ‘strong hedging’ strategy limits exposure to gas price surge
Noble's Emergency Department is 'safe' but 'too small by modern standards'
