Shortest budget sitting in Nova Scotia in 14 years wraps up
“. . .
Speaking on the party's behalf, New Democrat MLA Claudia Chender said the pace of sitting didn't allow much in the way of sober reflection on the legislation put forward by the governing Liberals.
She singled out changes to the law to restrict where vaping supplies are sold.
Chender said the government rejected a number of reasonable opposition amendments in the rush to pass bills through the House.
‘Ultimately, it's the people of Nova Scotia who suffer because we're not able to properly debate the legislation and ensure it's the best it can be,’ she said.
As for McNeil's desire to end the sitting before March Break, Chender offered: "I'm glad to hear the premier cares about March Break and my ability to make travel plans with my family, but the House never sits [during] March Break and we often come back afterwards.
‘There's no reason that we couldn't come back and continue to do our jobs,’ she said.
