Theres lots good happening: N.S. premier looks to future in year-end interview – Halifax [Video]

Some of the biggest issues facing Nova Scotians over the last year include the cost of living, housing and health care.

In a sit-down interview to wrap up 2024, Premier Tim Houston spoke to Global News about the challenges and the hopes for the future.

“It’s a really good time for our province. There’s lots good happening,” he said.

“We’re still obviously still focused on health care. There’s progress being made, but there’s work to be done. But I’m real excited about some of the things that we’re seeing happening there.”

Houston pointed to the opening of a new transitional health centre as an example of the government’s step forward.

He also said Nova Scotia is in the midst of an “exciting time” economically.

“We’re at a point for our province right now where we’re getting to lower taxes. That’s really important,” he said.

“Our taxes are high, but we’re really focused on growing the economy and there are tremendous opportunities to grow our economy.”
