N.S. premier reopening legislature to stop recommended pay hikes for its members
“. . .
Claudia Chender, leader of Nova Scotia’s NDP, said in a statement the party welcomes the return to legislature but thinks the session should be used instead to address health care and “skyrocketing” living costs.
“If the premier wants to block the recommendations of this report he can do so in a fall sitting,” Chender said about the independent panel’s work. “If he is looking for more than a grandstanding gesture he should be prepared to hold a full session to properly address the needs of Nova Scotians.”
