The Progressive Conservatives unveiled their party platform over the Thanksgiving long weekend.
Leader Blaine Higgs described it as a “realistic, affordable plan” to make life more affordable and improve health care.
The two-page platform includes several promises and commitments already made by the party.
That includes cutting the HST by two per cent, balancing the budget, investing in addiction treatment and safer community spaces.
Higgs also promises to expand the scope of practice for nurses, paramedics and pharmacists to help speed up health care.
He also committed to launching a working group on improving working conditions for nurses and paying 50 per cent of registered nurses’ long-term disability premiums for two years.
Party officials said their platform will cost around $1.7 billion over a four-year mandate.
Voters will head to the polls on Oct. 21.
