What MLAs Do For Nova Scotia

There are 52 Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) representing the 52 electoral districts of Nova Scotia. In addition to helping our constituents locate the programs and services you need, meeting with community groups to share ideas and taking your concerns to the government's decision-making table, MLAs also make changes to government policies and legislation.

For instance, the political party I belong to has always worked to make positive changes to improve our healthcare system, clean up our environment, create jobs, give a reason for young people to stay here at home and help seniors and the poor. So we craft legislation to introduce in Province House that will begin to do these things.

Legislation has been introduced and government policies changed to appoint an advisor on Emergency Patient Care, to remove the fee seniors are charged when moving into a nursing home, increase renewable energy in Nova Scotia, to ban uranium mining, to remove the provincial tax on home electricity, and to create a Graduate Retention Rebate to provide a financial incentive for college and unversity graduates to stay and look for work at home.
