Proclaim the Coastal Protection Act
The Coastal Protection Act was passed with all-party support during the previous Liberal government. However after Tim Houston was elected, he spent several years waffling and, in the end, decided not to proclaim it as law, despite widespread public support.
A Nova Scotia Liberal government would respect the will of Nova Scotians, proclaim the Coastal Protection Act, and implement the required regulations across the province. We will work with municipalities to transition any existing coastal protection action plans to one unified set of rules for coastal protection across the province.
Cost estimate: No additional spending required.
