I hope this press conference will include fair treatment for for profit operators who currently represent greater than 50% of the market. Little information, no specifics, tough deadlines and likely the loss of daycare spaces in the short term. @halifaxchamber

Less than 24 hours before opening to New Brunswick, we may in fact not open fully. Bad news for hotels with reservations, people who planned to see family and retail in Nova Scotia. Seems like pretty important news. Let’s wait till 3pm to deliver it……

Lots of appointments for vaccine in Yarmouth… this is just one location. #FasterTogether #GetVaccinated

Thanks @CanadianPM for joining us at today's #FasterTogether task group meeting. This is an important initiative and it's good to have the Government of Canada supporting. The faster we all get vaccinated, the faster we can get back to normal. #cdnpoli fastertogether.ca/
