N.S. Progressive Conservatives release ‘optimistic’ platform for May 30 vote
HALIFAX — Nova Scotia’s Progressive Conservatives have released an election platform promising millions in spending commitments along with balanced budgets — an “optimistic” plan the party says will spur economic growth and improve the bottom line for families and businesses.
Flanked by Halifax-area Tory candidates Thursday, Jamie Baillie became the first party leader to officially unveil a platform for the May 30 provincial vote.
“When it comes right down to it, the Progressive Conservative vision is about jobs — good, long-lasting, reliable jobs,” Baillie told party supporters.
“We can be a province where government stops reaching deeper into your pocketbooks and starts actually reducing the cost of living for Nova Scotia families.”
