Dear Premier,
In the last election, many Nova Scotians were delighted when the PCs ran on a pledge to protect 20% of our lands and waters. We were pleased when you put that promise into legislation shortly after coming to power in 2021.
Now, though, that goodwill is being compromised by one of your departments. Instead of moving us towards protecting 20% by 2030, Natural Resources and Renewables is taking us backwards.
