The Manitoba Liberal Party has released its full campaign platform, which includes roughly $1 billion in new spending and higher taxes for some income earners and property owners.

Liberal Leader Dougald Lamont says the spending is needed to fix health care, education and other services, and is an alternative to the Progressive Conservative and New Democrat plans.

Lamont’s promises include a minimum income for seniors, bonus pay for all front-line health-care workers and medicare coverage for mental health services. To pay for it, Lamont says he would eliminate the top 80 per cent of education property tax rebate cheques the government issues.
