We are dedicated to building a strong economy where businesses can grow, to protecting the environment, and to increasing equity in our province.
Nova Scotia is at a critical point. We’ve got the chance to seize a strong economic recovery and give everyone the chance to succeed. We have an opportunity - and an obligation - to leave a better legacy for our children, our families, and our communities.
We’re making life more affordable. We brought in once-in-a-generation childcare. That means that next year your child care will cost half as much and in five years will cost $10/day on average. We’re increasing access to affordable housing, expanding access to mental health supports, rejuvenating our long-term care sector and building state-of-the-art health facilities.
We’re constructing affordable wind and solar energy, committing to green public transit, and investing in our provincial parks. We want to make Nova Scotia greener and cleaner by 2030.
Our economy is preparing Nova Scotia – and Nova Scotians – for the jobs of tomorrow. We are steadfast in working towards a strong economy recovery.
