Northside-Westmount NSNDP

Groceries are already too expensive. 🙅‍♀️

Grocery chains shouldn't be able to hike the price of the same item based on your personal data, block new grocery stores from opening, or stop smaller stores from selling fresh food. But right now they can.

Today we're forcing debate on two NSNDP bills that would help lower grocery prices by banning these harmful practises in Nova Scotia.

Under the Houston government, Nova Scotians are paying more and getting less. Costs are rising, rent keeps climbing, and home ownership remains out of reach.

Nova Scotians don’t ask for much. They just want to be able to afford groceries and the basics. If the Houston government were serious about affordability, they would act.

Our legislation also keeps more money in Nova Scotians’ pockets by protecting rewards points and treating them like gift cards that can’t expire and creating stronger warranties for common electronics and household appliances.

The cuts to seniors care and education are particularly cruel.

The Caregiver Benefit has been stuck at just $13 a day since it was introduced in 2009 by the NDP. Liberal and PC governments froze it while costs kept rising — and under the Houston government, those have skyrocketed.

If this government were serious about helping Nova Scotian caregivers and reducing strain on our overburdened health care system, they would support the NDP’s proposal to double the benefit.

The government is making the cuts to our services. It's Tim Houston's choices that are harming our communities.
