Claudia Chender, MLA for Dartmouth South, will be acclaimed the leader of the Nova Scotia NDP next month.

“We’ve been looking for these targets, this interim plan, for at least four years. So why has it taken so long?” Chender asked.
“There has been significant commitment to achieving the 28 environmental responsibility goals set out in the legislation and the work is well underway to complete the Climate Plan,” replied Lora MacEachern, deputy minister for Environment and Climate Change.
