What are the parties promising on Government budgets and spending?

We don't have any PC policies on Government budgets and spending.

Liberal

Pass a law requiring all provincial spending to be approved by the legislature
Provide $1.1M in additional funding to the Auditor General's office

"A Nova Scotia Liberal government would provide $1.1M in additional funding to the Auditor General’s office. The Auditor General has indicated that this funding is necessary so the office can better examine healthcare-related spending." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09
Review all non-approved spending by the current government

"Each year the Houston government has spent more than a billion dollars in out-of-budget spending, which was not voted on and approved by the legislature. As the Auditor General has said, this financial mismanagement is costing Nova Scotians—there’s absolutely no way to tell if we are getting the best value for this money. A Nova Scotia Liberal government will pass a law that requires all provincial spending to be approved by the legislature and will review all non-approved spending by the current government to save up to $828M a year." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09
