COMMENTARY: N.S. legislative session a missed opportunity
Nova Scotia is an incredible province, one that inspires fierce loyalty and lifetime affiliation.
And now that secret is out. As we work to accommodate the thousands of people arriving here and the years of government inaction on housing and health care, we have a historic opportunity to address the current challenges in ways that make life not just liveable but better for all Nova Scotians.
Unfortunately, this opportunity was missed in the 10 days that the Houston government chose to convene the legislature in this fall.
The biggest missed opportunity of all – failing to meaningfully address the housing crisis – means that homeownership will continue to be out of reach for most Nova Scotians looking to purchase, and renters will continue to face unaffordable increases, increased housing insecurity and risk of eviction.
