He also plans on speaking with business owners.
“There is so much opportunity in Nova Scotia, and I’m extremely optimistic about the future,” said Houston in a news release.
He said although we are in a difficult fiscal position with a $1.24 billion deficit, we still need to make major investments in things like affordability, healthcare, long-term care and education.
“But the good news is, we have tremendous opportunities ahead in defence, wind, energy and local businesses who are ready to take the world stage.”
A separate public engagement process fun by the finance department and specific to the 2027-28 budget will be in the fall.
