Affordability and health care are again the focus of the Manitoba election campaign

The cost of living and health care will again be the focus of the Manitoba election campaign Friday.

The Progressive Conservatives are scheduled to make an affordability announcement in Steinbach, hosted by the area’s incumbent cabinet minister, Kelvin Goertzen.

The party has been on the affordability theme all week, with earlier announcements promising financial aid for seniors and income tax cuts.

NDP Leader Wab Kinew is scheduled to make another health-care announcement in Winnipeg, following earlier promises to hire more nurses and add neighbourhood health clinics.
