Nova Scotia NDP demands environmental racism report release
Friday, May 30, 2025, 12:20 pm
Nova Scotia’s NDP is urging the government to finally release a long-delayed environmental racism report. Accusing the provincial administration of unnecessary secrecy, party members insist that transparency is essential for addressing systemic inequalities and restoring public trust amid growing community frustrations.
No official reason has been given for the government’s decision to withhold the report’s release to the public
Premier Tim Houston's Progressive Conservative government has refused to release the panel’s report, which was due in December 2023.
HALIFAX - Nova Scotia’s Opposition NDP is calling on the province to release recommendations from a panel that examined environmental racism, saying it’s a matter of accountability.
