Justice system platforms

Here's what the 2024 Nova Scotia election parties are promising.
We don't have any PC policies on Justice system.

Liberal

  • Invest $4M in ongoing operational funding to expand youth programming for at-risk youth

    "Across the province, organizations like BGC Canada run youth programming that keep at-risk youth engaged, out of trouble, and out of our justice system. These programs save lives and save our justice system resources in the long run. A Nova Scotia Liberal government will invest $4M in ongoing operational funding to expand these programs and ensure that they can serve their communities." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

  • Ensure adequate funding for the criminal justice system

    "A Nova Scotia Liberal government will ensure adequate funding for the criminal justice system, which has fallen under neglect by this government and currently allows offenders to walk free without a trial over and over. We’ll hire the judges the system needs, and make targeted investments to get cases tried on time." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

  • Ban the misuse of NDAs in sexual assault and harassment cases

    "Too often, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are being used to silence victims and maintain the power imbalance. We will ensure that no Nova Scotian is forced to sign these agreements. A Nova Scotia Liberal government would ban the mis-use of NDAs in cases of sexual assault and harassment." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

We don't have any NDP policies on Justice system.
