I have to admit I was a bit surprised, but for the most part the highways in Manitoba that need to be twinned already are.
The sweet spot for highway improvements are things like surfacing, shoulder improvement, intersection improvement, passing lanes, etc. Which is pretty well where most of the attention has been focused in recent years. A few more interchanges would be helpful too, but it sounds like that's coming.

Twinning:
1. #14 (Winkler-#75)
2. #15 (Winnipeg-Dugald)
3. #155 (Mcgillivary-Oak Bluff)
4. #59 (extent to #52 then divide to Mitchell, and extend twinning to Grand Beach exit)
5. #6 (Winnipeg-St.Laurent)
I would also build a highway from Oakbank to Transcona.
