The New Brunswick election creeps closer to its conclusion with the final election platform of the campaign set to be released on Thursday.

Brian Gallant, the leader of the province’s Liberal Party, is set to release the party’s election platform at Coburn Farms in Keswick Ridge, N.B., at 10:30 a.m.

The Liberals are the last party to do so and they’re putting it out just only a few days ahead of the Sept. 24 election and after the advance polls have already closed.
