Barquentine Posted February 24 Report Posted February 24 Tim Houston on X today @TimHoustonNS "I understand that the original proposed changes came out of a scan that looked to modernize the Office by looking at best practices around Canada. This scan identified a variety of practices used across the country. There was never any intention on my part to change the existing Auditor General. After discussions with the Nova Scotia Auditor General and her team, I am no longer supporting the proposed amendments. This afternoon I asked the Legislature to withdraw them. Sometimes things become something that they weren’t intended to be and I believe this is the case with the Auditor General related amendments. I have nothing but respect for the Auditor General and look forward to continuing our working relationship. This is why we’ve increased funding for that office in this year’s budget. As always, we remain focused on what is in the best interests of Nova Scotians and believe an open and accountable government is part of that." Lot of outraged people speaking up "changed his mind". Good for him. Good for us. Quote

If we could get Trudeau voters to realize that we would have been a lot further off Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
josej Posted February 25 Report Posted February 25 The problem is that many of them are conveniently ignorant.
