If elected the NDP’s will used the mining community reserve fund to help Northern Manitobans get back to work and create multiyear mining permits to create more stability for Northern Manitoba Resource workers.

They will also provide Northern Manitobans with better access to health care by restoring the Northern Patient Transportation Program and keep Lifeflight in public hands.
