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:
Chief Minister: I hope that cabinet reshuffle can 'stop the fighting'
MNFU implores Tynwald to 'include the industry in its considerations regarding employment'
Afternoon sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
