Manitobans vote in two weeks, and the leaders of the province's four main political parties will square off in a live televised broadcast from CBC's Winnipeg studio tonight.

Brian Pallister (Progressive Conservative), Wab Kinew (NDP), Dougald Lamont (Liberal) and James Beddome (Green Party) will debate the top issues for Manitoba voters, who will cast their ballots on Sept. 10.

Moderated by Red River College journalism instructor Joanne Kelly, the joint broadcast will air commercial free from 6:10 p.m. to 7 p.m. CT on CBC, CTV and Global.

Starting off the debate, leaders will ask one another a question on the topic of jobs and the economy. Then a panel of three journalists, CBC Manitoba's Marcy Markusa, Jeff Keele (CTV) and Richard Cloutier (CJOB/Global) will ask questions.

Keele's question will be about crime and addictions, Cloutier's on health care and Markusa's about the environment.

In addition to the TV broadcast, the debate will be available on CBC Radio One 89.3 FM or 990 AM, and through the following links:
