Poverty

Set up an all-party committee to overhaul the social assistance model and examine alternatives, including a guaranteed basic income

A Nova Scotia Liberal government will invest $10M to increase training for women at NSCC in trades directly related to housing, with a goal to double the number of women being trained over five years.

Family doctors and primary care

Promesses de Liberal

Build and expand 40 collaborative health care clinics across the province

"We have a shortage of family doctors, and we need to do more to get Nova Scotians the care they need. The Municipality of Clare has a phenomenal primary care model that is fully staffed with healthcare professionals eager to work there. Healthcare professionals have also told us that they want to practice in such a collaborative setting. These clinics improve working conditions, reduce administrative burden, and keep doctors in Nova Scotia.

We can emulate this model province-wide, put a halt to the skyrocketing family doctor waitlist, and attach patients to primary care providers.

A Nova Scotia Liberal government will implement a collaborative care model province-wide by building and expanding 40 collaborative health care clinics across the province. We’ll work closely with existing clinics to make sure they’re running efficiently and are able to take on more patients.

We will increase the annual incentive for physicians from $5,000 to $10,000 if they agree to join a collaborative care practice and increase their patient rosters. We will also introduce bonuses and incentives of up to $15,000 for allied health professionals who commit to working at a collaborative health clinic for a minimum of 5 years.

Initially, we will focus on areas of the province that have the highest percentage of their residents currently waiting on a family doctor:

ʘ New Glasgow - 26.1% of population on the registry (8,890 people)

ʘ Yarmouth - 25.3% ... (6,284 people)

ʘ Bridgewater - 22.9% ... (6,382 people)

ʘ Bedford - 22.4% ... (10,395 people)

ʘ Amherst - 20.9% ... (2,834 people)

ʘ Sackville - 20.7% ... (10,082 people)

ʘ Halifax Peninsula - 20.1% ... (13,852 people)

ʘ Clayton Park - 20% ... (7,784 people)

ʘ Middleton - 17.7% ... (3,930 people)

ʘ Sydney - 16.9% ... (8,430 people)

ʘ Dartmouth/Cole Harbour: 15.3% ... (20,237 people)"

"The current government is playing favourites by choosing where new homes can go. We can’t afford that. We need a rules-based system across the province that will encourage new housing. A Nova Scotia Liberal government will modernize housing legislation to encourage broader and more innovative housing solutions." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

"Remove arbitrary and unfair penalties from our property tax system, like the drastic increase in taxes Hammonds Plains residents experienced after they lost their houses to wildfires" — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

Reduce or eliminate tax increases on properties that build more housing for the next five years

"Ensure our property tax system incentivizes housing being built, which currently isn’t always the case. Currently, if you add more housing to your property whether by building or renovating, your assessment goes up and so do your taxes. For the next five years we’ll reduce or eliminate tax increases on properties that build more housing. This will incentivize more housing where it’s needed in Nova Scotia, and help bring down housing prices." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

Increase property taxes on vacant lots in urban areas

"Increase taxes on large vacant lots in our urban areas so that it is not profitable for developers to hold onto large, empty lots that are zoned for housing without building" — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

Eliminate the residential deed transfer tax, except for the 5% out-of-province tax

Homeless services

Promesse de Liberal

Replace the $4M the federal government used to provided to women's shelters

"We’ll begin by directly replacing the approximately $4M that the federal government is no longer providing to women’s shelters in Nova Scotia. This is money that saves lives and provides housing and opportunities to women and children fleeing domestic violence. We have a moral obligation to restore that funding." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

Increase the provincially-funded non-profit rental stock from 3,000 to 7,000 units by 2032

"The province is currently a funding partner for 110 organisations that control over 3,000 housing units. We will build more units in order to more than double the existing stock, building 4,000 additional units by 2032, being sure to include wraparound supports for residents. We’ll do this by investing in non-profit organizations, and creating a trusted non-profit developer program that will fast track applications from organizations who have experience building housing. The non-profit sector has the capacity and the knowledge to manage deeply affordable housing properly, and the government can assist by building new units and acquiring underutilized housing." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

Rental housing

Promesses de Liberal

Set the rental cap based on inflation, market conditions, and vacancy rates on a regional basis until there is a 3% vacancy rate

"Current rent protections are hurting those they’re supposed to help. Right now, Tim Houston can change the rent cap on a whim—and that’s bad for everyone. We will implement a fairer system where the cap is based on inflation, market conditions, and vacancy rates on a regional basis until adequate housing supply is reached and there is a healthy vacancy rate of 3%. This will provide much needed consistency, stability, and predictability to our rental market." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

Establish a Rent Bank to provide quick turnaround, zero-interest loans to renters who need to make rent

Ban landlords from offering fixed-term leases longer than one year

"We will end fixed-term lease abuse by ensuring that landlords cannot offer tenants fixed term leases longer than one year. Extensions beyond the fixed term would automatically transition the lease to month-to-month." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

Lower the income cut-off for the rental supplement, so that residents spending over 30% of their monthly income on rent can receive it

"The Rental Supplement provides support to low-income Nova Scotians who pay more than 40% of their income on rent. In 2023, Tim Houston’s government raised the cut-off from the 30% it was under the previous Liberal government to 50%, before lowering it back to 40% earlier this year. A Nova Scotia Liberal government will lower the cut- off back to 30%." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

Establish a Residential Tenancies Unit to deal with egregious and time-sensitive disputes

"Despite recommendations to establish a Residential Tenancies Enforcement Unit to deal with especially egregious and time-sensitive disputes—and support from both landlords and tenants to do so—Tim Houston’s government decided not to implement one, and tried to mislead Nova Scotians about it. A Nova Scotia Liberal government will implement a Residential Tenancies Enforcement Unit." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

"Non-profit and service delivery organizations are not able to appropriately deliver for their communities or plan for the long term when they must apply for provincial funding on an annual basis. Not only do they not know what funding is coming from year to year but, once approved, the delivery of funding is often delayed by as much as 9-10 months into the fiscal year, leaving organizations in the lurch. We will prioritize multi-year funding agreements for successful organizations that have a proven track record of providing core programming for their communities." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09
