The provincial election campaign took Manitoba's two main parties to opposite ends of the province on Friday.
In Steinbach, the Progressive Conservatives promised to increase tax credits for charitable donations if they are re-elected on October 3rd.
Recent Justice Minister Kelvin Goertzen, who is running for a sixth term in Steinbach, says they would increase the provincial income tax rebate on the first 200 dollars given to a registered charity to 20 per cent from the current 10.8 per cent.
He added the rebate on contributions above 200 dollars would jump to 25 per cent, from 17.4 per cent.
Meanwhile, Manitoba New Democrats were in Brandon where they promised to open four new family medical centres in Winnipeg and one in the "Wheat city" if they form the next government.
Leader Wab Kinew says the plan would help address a shortage of family doctors and reduce the strain on hospital emergency departments.
Kinew is also promising money to help existing clinics expand to offer a range of medical services, including family doctors, mental health workers, social workers, and pharmacists.
