A 30-year-long provincial government department is being disbanded. Premier Tim Houston is getting rid of Communications Nova Scotia, which has provided communications and marketing support to the province for 30 years. The CBC reports the reorganization is an effort to modernize how the government delivers messages to Nova Scotians. Staff in the department will be reassigned to other departments. But the move isn’t without friction. Opposition NDP leader Claudia Chender says getting rid of the Communications Department will make it harder and harder for residents to get an objective sense of what is going on at the provincial level.
