First-time homebuyers will not have to pay the land transfer tax if the Manitoba Progressive Conservatives are returned to power after the October 3rd election.
The Tories made the promise during day two of the election campaign, saying such a move would allow Manitobans to put that instead towards other things such as a down payment.
Meanwhile, the Manitoba NDP promised to open five minor illness and injury clinics, which would offer same-day appointments through online booking.
Leader Wab Kinew says they would be located in neighbourhoods where they are needed the most.
Manitoba Liberals are proposing roughly one billion dollars in new spending, such as minimum income for seniors, bonus pay for all front-line healthcare workers, and Medicare coverage for mental health services.
Leader Dougald Lamont says this would be paid for by raising income taxes paid by people earning more than $120,000 a year while reducing income tax levels for many other people.
