Manitoba Politicians Promise Better Roads, Cheaper Education, Faster Health Care

IANS, 22 Mar, 2016 12:28 PM
    Manitoba Progressive Conservatives are promising shorter health-care wait times on the campaign trail.
     
    Tory Leader Brian Pallister said Monday he would set up a task force to find ways to cut waiting lists if elected on April 19.
     
    New Democrat Leader Greg Selinger promised to end post-secondary student loans and use non-repayable grants instead.
     
    The NDP is also promising to provide free tuition up to age 25 for students who are in the child-welfare system and to double funding for scholarships and bursaries.
     
    Liberal Leader Rana Bokhari said she would shelve a planned $400-million highway bypass around St. Norbert, a neighbourhood at the south end of Winnipeg.
     
    Bokhari said the money would be better spent fixing or improving existing roads in the city.
