When asked about specific goals for Antigonish should the PC’s make government again, Thompson said the party is committed to putting more money in the pockets of Nova Scotians, pointing to a proposed one-per cent reduction in the HST. She said there needs to be investment in infrastructure, particularly infrastructure supporting growth in communities and safe transportation.
