Manitoba's three main political parties all made campaign promises on Thursday in the lead-up to the October 3rd election.
NDP leader Wab Kinew said his party would reopen a mature women's health centre at Winnipeg's Victoria Hospital that provided specialized care for menopausal women.
He adds they would also expand pharmaceutical coverage for menopause hormone therapy replacement drugs.
The Progressive Conservatives made a pair of announcements, including plans to create a fund aimed at recruiting and retaining workers as a means of addressing an estimated 100,000 job vacancies in Manitoba over the next five years.
Leader Heather Stefanson also said they would offer a 10 per cent tax credit bonus to film and television productions in the province that use Manitoba music for at least half their soundtrack.
And Liberal Leader Dougald Lamont promised to let social assistance recipients keep more of their benefits as they transition to work.
He also committed to implementing a guaranteed dignified income for people over 60 and those living with severe mental or physical disabilities.
