The fall sitting of the Manitoba legislature has ended with several of the government's proposed laws yet to be passed and with an election campaign coming in the spring.

Bills that would give the province's children's advocate more powers, make aboriginal history part of the school curriculum and give First Nations communities more of a say in child welfare were introduced in the final days of the sitting and remain on the table.

Premier Greg Selinger also laid out environmental promises that include a promise to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by one-third in the next 15 years in a variety of ways.

"That includes building hydro for export. Hydro exports displace dirtier sources of power in other jurisdictions such as coal because climate change knows no boundaries. It's one of those big issues that we think we can make a positive contribution on."

Meanwhile, Progressive Conservative leader Brian Pallister calls the fall session of the Legislature very productive. He says, in particular, this session has provided Manitobans with a clear alternative to the current NDP government.

"The PC team has come out with an alternative throne speech with realistic and balanced ideas with 20 real focused areas that we believe we can make gains on and improve the province whether its education quality, better access to health care and better emphasis on finding physicians and retaining them.

Pallister says they've also laid out ways in which Manitoba can build a stronger economy by teaming with Manitobans, finding waste in government and eliminating it in an effort to reduce our tax load and become more competitive as a province.
