The Alberta NDP is promising $1.87 billion for several infrastructure projects in the provincial capital if it wins the May 29 election.
In a speech to supporters, NDP Leader Rachel Notley says the money would help with building a hospital in south Edmonton and her party would explore opportunities to speed up construction.
Notley says it would help in the planning and designing of a stand-alone Stollery Children’s Hospital.

Notley says the projects are to create more than 7,800 jobs over the next three years.
