Jamie Baillie says his government would open a new, specialized Veterans’ Memorial walk-in clinic at the Camp Hill Veterans’ Memorial Building in Halifax. The Tories would invest $1.75 million a year in the clinic, which would also work with ERs across the province to ensure further support. The clinic would also put emphasis beyond PTSD and operational stress injuries.

Liberals would expand START Apprenticeship Program
A new Stephen McNeil government would spend $8 million to expand the START Apprenticeship Program. The Liberals would create more than 700 new opportunities, including investing $18.2 million over four years to help with skills training. Increased support for women, aboriginals, African Nova Scotians, people with disabilities and new Canadians would be part of it, with employer incentives going from $10,000 to $30,000 for those who hire from those groups.
