Ontarios Liberals are promising to go ahead and spend $1 billion to build a transportation route to the Ring of Fire mineral deposit, with or without financial help from the federal Conservatives.

But they havent decided where or when theyll start building it, or how theyll find another billion to complete the route in a remote region of northern Ontario if Ottawa wont provide the funds.

They say those decisions will be up to a development corporation that theyll create within 60 days of taking office that will include both levels of government, First Nations and private companies.

The Liberals are also promising to build more hospices, cap hospital parking fees and help high-school students plan their path to a desired career if theyre re-elected on June 12.

Officials say the platform essentially fleshes out more details of their failed May 1 budget that theyd planned to announce as they took the document on the road, and are fully costed.

It includes some common ground with their rivals, who triggered the election when they said they couldnt support the budget.

The Liberals say theyd improve students math scores and physical activity, as well as increase apprenticeship spaces, which the Progressive Conservatives have also proposed.

Theyre also promising to reduce wait times in five areas by more than 50 per cent and are guaranteeing that every resident has access to a primary care provider, such as doctor or nurse-practioners.

The New Democrats have also said theyll reduce wait times and create more access to health-care services if theyre elected.
