The Liberal MLA for Clare-Digby says it’s unfortunate that the leader of the PC’s is criticizing the government’s investments in rural communities.
This week Jamie Baillie told Acadia News that the government has spent the last three years telling Nova Scotians the province is broke but now with an election looming, they’re throwing money around.
Gordon Wilson says it’s disparaging to see any kind of shadow cast on announcements that are so important to communities.
“It’s discouraging when I hear that kind of talk.”
Wilson says it shows the PC leader doesn’t understand the importance of community investment.
Wilson says the government has made hard, sometimes controversial decisions but it’s because of the difficult decisions they can make good decisions and help out communities.
The Nova Scotia government has made funding announcements this week in Bridgewater, Northfield and Lunenburg.
Another announcement will happen Friday afternoon in Hebbville.
