After several requests from the NDP and a Freedom of Information request, the Liberal government finally released a document outlining the extent of the cuts to nursing homes across the province. The numbers show that the cuts to nursing homes in Cape Breton are almost double what was initially reported. Eight nursing homes in Cape Breton County have seen a total of $474,199 in cuts.

Sydney port study
A study prepared for the government recommends it promote the port of Halifax over Sydney or Canso Strait.
The report says promoting all three would cause confusion among shippers, and dilute the volume of containers Halifax already has. It recommends against public investmnents in the Nova Porte Development here or the Melford terminal on the Strait of Canso.
Transportation Minister Geoff MacLellan says the government does not endorse the reports findings. He called the research helpful and said there’s a real opportunity to development container traffic in Sydney and Melford.
