NDP legislation to address mainland, CB fiscal imbalance

This morning, the NDP Caucus introduced legislation to begin addressing the fiscal imbalance between Cape Breton and mainland Nova Scotia. The bill would require the government to fund a study to find solutions to the unique financial challenges faced by the Cape Breton Regional Municipality in providing a fair level of services to its people.

At 12.9 per cent, Cape Breton’s unemployment rate is much higher than the rest of the province.
