Run a feasibility study to consider building light rail

"A feasibility study to build light rail for commuters that will give Nova Scotians more of the most precious asset: time. Less time in traffic, less time commuting means more time for what matters most: family and community. Rail routes to be explored will begin with Windsor to Mill Cove, Bedford and in CBRM." — Make It Happen, retrieved 2024-11-10

Minimum wage

Promesse de PC

Increase Nova Scotia's minimum wage to $16.50 in one year

Tax measures and rebates

Promesses de PC

Reduce the HST by one percentage point to 14%
Increase the personal basic exemption on provincial income tax from $8,744 to $11,744

Climate Change & the Environment

Oil and gas development

Promesse de PC

Encourage production of hydrogen and aviation fuel

"Focus on the smart development of our energy and natural resources sectors through Nova Scotia's Clean Energy Plan, which will in turn provide more opportunities for families and result in fewer of our children going 'out west' for work. It will make Nova Scotia a world class energy producer in hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuel.

The construction of these two industries will provide a decade of new construction jobs, along with new high paying long-term jobs that will benefit the entire economy and Province."

Education

School safety

Promesses de PC

Ensure school administrators have powers to suspend students and address problem behaviours using their own professional judgement

"Ensure the new Code of Conduct gives school administrators the power they deserve, including the power to suspend students and address problem behaviours. It will give administrators the ability to use their professional judgement to find the balance between an individual students' right to education with the broader student bodies' right to learn in a safe environment." — Make It Happen, retrieved 2024-11-10

Hire two police officers to work with the Department of Education regarding security protocols and incident prevention and response

"Hire two police officers to work within the Department of Education and focus exclusively on supporting school teams across the Province with security protocols, incident prevention and incident response." — Make It Happen, retrieved 2024-11-10

Health & Healthcare

Health staffing

Promesse de PC

Create an internal travel nursing team, so as to stop relying on external companies for health staffing

"The new internal nursing team will employ nurses out of the Nova Scotia Health Authority. A pilot program focussed on Emergency Department nurses will launch by the end of 2024. The estimate for the 30-nurse pilot travel nurse team is approximately $5.3 million. If the Province were to hire 30 private agency nurses, the cost would be $8.2 million, resulting in savings of $2.9 million under the PC plan." — pcpartyns.ca, retrieved 2024-11-10

Housing & Homelessness

Home purchases and ownership

Promesse de PC

Create a First Time Home Owners Program with credit unions to decrease down payments to 2%

"A re-elected PC Government will enter into a new agreement with participating credit unions to expand this program to first-time home buyers purchasing a home up to $500,000 in value. Whereas today these prospective homebuyers must provide a 5% down payment, they would only have to pay a 2% down payment under the PC Plan. Participating credit unions would assess the applicants to ensure their income is satisfactory to support the mortgage they want, and the provincial government would provide a loan guarantee to participating credit unions for any deficiencies in the event of a default." — pcpartyns.ca, retrieved 2024-11-10
