Green Party becomes first federal party to release full platform

VANCOUVER – The Green party has become the first of Canada’s federal parties to announce its election platform, vowing to invest in the environment, health care and seniors’ support.
Leader Elizabeth May announced the plan in Vancouver, saying the party’s billions of dollars in promises won’t run a deficit.
The party would put a price on carbon while protecting Canada’s coastlines from pipelines and tankers.
If elected, the Greens say they would commit $6.4 billion to municipal infrastructure and reverse cuts to Veterans Affairs, Canada Post and the CBC.
May says her party would expand universal health care to cover prescription medication for all Canadians, create a national housing strategy, abolish university tuition and repeal the controversial anti-terror bill, C-51.
The Greens had two seats in the House of Commons going into the election campaign.
