Nova Scotia finance minister defends spending process flagged by auditor general

Allan MacMaster was responding to a report this week from the province’s auditor general that accused the government of lacking accountability and transparency. Kim Adair said Nova Scotia is unique in Canada with legislation that has allowed governments to approve $4.7 billion in extra spending over the last 10 years without being subjected to a review or approval by the legislature.
