The Conservative Party of BC is promising to implement a tax rebate for housing costs while the NDP announced reforms to health care, as the parties continue on the campaign trail ahead of the Oct. 19 election.

Conservative Party leader John Rustad announced the rebate plan in Surrey on Sept. 23, saying it would provide relief to renters and homeowners. If Rustad is elected as premier, he said he would offer a tax rebate of $3,000 per month for housing costs.
