The Nova Scotia Liberal Party has a new interim leader. Timberlea-Prospect MLA Iain Rankin will take over for Sydney-Membertou MLA Derek Mombourquette. Last year, the pair shared the duties but now Mombourquette will take on the duties of house leader. Rankin says his first order of business will be to call for a “comprehensive economic strategy” to address the province’s $1.2 billion deficit.
