NDP Leader Claudia Chender called the strong immigration numbers "phenomenal" but said she's worried new Nova Scotians are being left to struggle.
"We are better for all the newcomers that have arrived to Nova Scotia, but we do not have the services to provide for people that live here," Chender said.
She said the province needs to provide a plan for how immigrants to Nova Scotia will access primary health care, schooling, government assistance and housing upon their arrival. "Without that, we're giving people a false promise," she said.
