Slow shelter: U.S.-made homeless structures still on hold in Nova Scotia

"It's December, and I think, overall what we see in terms of the Pallet shelters and the emergency shelter situation is, I'm not sure what was happening over the summer months," said NDP Leader Claudia Chender, acknowledging the complexity of the project, but adding it should have been dealt with.
"I hear the part about 'there needs to be supports', but again - we have not planned sufficiently for the situation that we find ourselves in," said Chender. "If we had, programs like the pallets would have already been delivered.
"All I can say is, I hope they come tomorrow and I'll hope every day after tomorrow that they come that day, but we don't have an answer yet on when they're arriving and I know there are many people, particularly in the HRM-context, in Sackville, who are anxiously awaiting their arrival, and in the rest of the province, we don't even know where they're going to go."
