Domestic abuse and gender-based violence

Liberal

Replace the $4M the federal government used to provided to women's shelters

"We’ll begin by directly replacing the approximately $4M that the federal government is no longer providing to women’s shelters in Nova Scotia.

We have a moral obligation to restore that funding." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09
Create an office in the Department of Health to take a public health approach towards preventing intimate partner violence

Elections and democratic engagement

Liberal

Implement proportional representation

A Nova Scotia Liberal government will amend the Elections Act to implement a moderate proportional representation model that maintains strong regional representation. We will appoint an expert commission to determine the details of the plan and ensure that our electoral system maintains the protected representation of Acadians and African Nova Scotians." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

Government budgets and spending

Liberal

Pass a law requiring all provincial spending to be approved by the legislature
Provide $1.1M in additional funding to the Auditor General's office

"A Nova Scotia Liberal government would provide $1.1M in additional funding to the Auditor General’s office. The Auditor General has indicated that this funding is necessary so the office can better examine healthcare-related spending." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09
Review all non-approved spending by the current government

"Each year the Houston government has spent more than a billion dollars in out-of-budget spending, which was not voted on and approved by the legislature. As the Auditor General has said, this financial mismanagement is costing Nova Scotians—there’s absolutely no way to tell if we are getting the best value for this money. A Nova Scotia Liberal government will pass a law that requires all provincial spending to be approved by the legislature and will review all non-approved spending by the current government to save up to $828M a year." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

Government ethics and modernisation

Liberal

Empanel a commission to make recommendations to improve government, the public service, municipalities, and the extended public service

Create a Nova Scotia Ethics Commissioner

"Many provinces in Canada have an ethics or integrity commissioner to ensure that legislators are behaving ethically, and public money is being spent responsibly. A Nova Scotia Liberal government would create an Ethics Commissioner position that would be responsible for ensuring ethical behaviour by politicians and public servants, and ensure that public money is being spent responsibly. This commissioner would be an officer of the Legislature and would be able to investigate actions and spending by MLAs, staff, and public servants to ensure they meet high standards of ethical behaviour. They would also proactively work to educate MLAs and prevent ethics issues before they happen." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09
Give the Privacy Commissioner authority to enforce the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and make binding orders

"Nova Scotia is the only province where the Privacy Commissioner can’t make binding orders on the government. A Nova Scotia Liberal government would give the Privacy Commissioner order- making authority by making them an official commissioner of the Legislature. This will allow the Privacy Commissioner to properly enforce Nova Scotia’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, ensuring more transparency from our government." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09
Allow all provincial staff to work from home or a hybrid setting if their position allows

"A Nova Scotia Liberal government will allow all provincial staff to work from home or work in a hybrid setting if their position allows, which will improve work conditions, save the government money on office rent, reduce congestion in Halifax, and provide more opportunities to those that live in rural areas." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

Build a new, six-lane bridge with active transportation infrastructure and bus lanes, to replace the MacKay Bridge

Justice system

Liberal

Invest $4M in ongoing operational funding to expand youth programming for at-risk youth

"Across the province, organizations like BGC Canada run youth programming that keep at-risk youth engaged, out of trouble, and out of our justice system. These programs save lives and save our justice system resources in the long run. A Nova Scotia Liberal government will invest $4M in ongoing operational funding to expand these programs and ensure that they can serve their communities." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09
Ban the misuse of NDAs in sexual assault and harassment cases

"Too often, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are being used to silence victims and maintain the power imbalance. We will ensure that no Nova Scotian is forced to sign these agreements. A Nova Scotia Liberal government would ban the mis-use of NDAs in cases of sexual assault and harassment." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09
Ensure adequate funding for the criminal justice system

"A Nova Scotia Liberal government will ensure adequate funding for the criminal justice system, which has fallen under neglect by this government and currently allows offenders to walk free without a trial over and over. We’ll hire the judges the system needs, and make targeted investments to get cases tried on time." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09
