Stephen McNeil was indignant at the suggestion by the province’s opposition parties they should attend a brief sitting of the Nova Scotia legislature on Friday.“The opposition parties are choosing to politicize this issue,” McNeil said after a meeting of the province’s cabinet on Thursday.“I sit here for 10 months (next) to Dr. (Robert Strang, the province’s chief medical officer of health), encouraging Nova Scotians to follow the rules.
I’m going to go to break public health protocol because they’re forcing me to do it.”The legislature will be holding some sort of in-person sitting on Friday, but it will only be brief as the Liberal government moves to prorogue the government.
