Doctors working the Emergency Room at Northside General Hospital in North Sydney are looking at a possible pay cut. ER doctors in Nova Scotia have been tasked with standardizing the rates of pay for ER doctors province wide. At Northside, that means ER doctors would be paid 14-dollars less that than their current rate of just over $147 dollars per hour. ER Doctors at Cape Breton Regional receive roughly 200-dollars an hour based on the criteria that it’s a larger hospital that sees more patients.

Changes Coming to Seafood Labelling
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says it plans to modernize seafood labelling. The agency says it recently published proposals for labels to include the country of origin for imported whole fish and the fishes’ common names. It says it also plans to explore ways the industry can ensure truthful claims are made on labels. A report released Friday by a coalition of environmental groups says existing rules leave Canadian consumers with less information than those in Europe or the United States.
