NDP would make minimum wage $15 an hour

NDP Leader Gary Burrill has announced his government would increase minimum wage to $15 an hour.  That would help lift 130,000 Nova Scotians out of poverty.  The party would also create Commission on the Local Economy to consult with businesses, social enterprises, corporations, and non-profits on how government can best support them.

Liberal money for collaborative care

The Liberals say their continued government would invest $78 million to expand and create more than 70 collaborative care teams across Nova Scotia.  A $5 million annual fund would also be created to build and renovate those clinics, among other healthcare initiatives.
