The Nova Scotia Liberal Party's new leader, Zach Churchill, says the Progressive Conservatives sold the public 'a false bill of goods' when they promised in the last provincial election to fix health care — and he's ready to hold them to account.
Preston MLA Angela Simmonds speaks to reporters shortly after the result was announced.
Churchill later told reporters Simmonds would play "a critical role" in the caucus. He said he'd spend the coming days determining what roles the party's MLAs would fill. "If my grandson feels like he can put his name forward, then I've done my job," she told reporters following the result.About 3,400 people registered as delegates and could vote online or by telephone, 96 per cent of whom voted. That's fewer than half of the 8,100 delegates who registered for last year's convention that Rankin won.— something that would naturally drive up interest.
Simmonds said she is committed to the caucus and working to unite members and volunteers who worked for both campaigns.
