Atlantic bluefin tuna will not be listed under the Species at Risk Act. It was assessed as endangered by scientists in 2011, and although has showed signs of increase since the population is still below 1970s levels. The Ecology Action Centre says the government still must act to protect the species, and they’re not off the hook despite this decision.

Liberal plan for pre-primary program
A Liberal government would introduce a plan to provide new innovative educational supports to every Nova Scotian four-year-old. A pre-primary program would start this fall in 30 new classes. Once the program is fully implemented (within four years), it will cost about $49.4 million annually. The party says it could save families upwards of $10,000 in childcare costs.
