N.S. legislature's fall sitting likely to be short with disjointed debate
". . .
NDP House leader Claudia Chender is eager to return to Province House, which last sat March 10.
The governing Liberals passed a budget last spring in the shortest amount of time allowable under the rules: 13 days.
'We have not been in the legislature since early March and the world has changed,' said Chender. 'We're in a fundamentally different landscape now than we were then.'
Chender said her caucus colleagues have many questions to put to the McNeil government, including what a second wave of COVID-19 would mean for the province.
They also want to hear from the Liberals on the dispute between commercial and Mi'kmaw fishermen that has turned violent in recent days, said Chender. As well, they want an update on the planned public inquiry into the Nova Scotia mass shooting.
'We have big questions about justice [and] law enforcement,' she said.
