The Nova Scotia Government has
denied Auditor General Jacques Lapointe’s attempt to access data on more
than $250-million in taxpayer-funded handouts to businesses and corporations
over the past year.
What is the government hiding? The Industrial Expansion Fund and Nova Scotia
Business Inc provide loans and subsidies to businesses on a regular basis.
Is the government using these programs for political purposes?
The Government’s denial of data pertaining to the spending of a quarter of a
billion dollars in business loans and subsidies is a slap in the face to
accountability in this Province. This government continues to betray the
public trust by withholding information on taxpayer-funded business
hand-outs and we must stand up against it!

Freedom of speech is the concept of being able to speak freely without censorship. The right to freedom of speech is guaranteed under international law through numerous human rights instruments, notably under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, although implementation remains lacking in many countries. The synonymous term freedom of expression is sometimes preferred, since the right is not confined to verbal speech but is understood to protect any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used.
