But NDP Leader Claudia Chender was critical of the updated budget numbers, saying they showcase millions in "unaccountable spend-ing" while Nova Scotians continue to suffer with increased costs for housing, food and necessities.
"We hear from the Houston gov-ernment nearly every week about some new spending but for every-day Nova Scotians, it's not moving the needle," she said in a news release.
"There are hundreds of people sleeping outside and the Houston government has left folks to struggle, cutting back on who was eligible for the heating assistance rebate, ignoring our calls to cut the tax on all groceries, and refusing t help renters or ban childcare wait-list fees."
