HALIFAX - With one week to go in the Nova Scotia election campaign, parties are scheduled to make promises on infrastructure and rental housing.

Liberal Party Leader Zach Churchill is set to make an announcement this morning in Halifax about supporting renters.

Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Houston is also in Halifax, where he will be making an announcement on infrastructure.

And NDP Leader Claudia Chender says she will vote at an advanced poll today — one week ahead of the Nov. 26 election.

On Monday, the three main parties sparred over immigration, with the NDP and Liberals accusing the Tories of welcoming more newcomers than the province can house and care for.

Houston said the province was going through growing pains and that his party's plans to increase housing and health-care access were working.
