As Nova Scotians we share the same concerns. We want the very best for our children, a good paying job, a dignified retirement and hope for the future. We want our government to spend wisely, in an open manner and restore the trust that is needed for us to succeed. There is much work to be done. But every day, I am inspired by the optimism and determination of Nova Scotians. They are working hard to create jobs, find solutions and make life better in their own communities. I believe in Nova Scotia and under my leadership, a Liberal government will stand with Nova Scotians. We will provide strong, clear leadership and a path forward that is based on harnessing the potential of our province and its people.
