The rapid conclusion comes after the governing Progressive Conservatives called the House of Assembly back earlier than usual Sept. 5.
The fall sitting of the Nova Scotia legislature concluded Friday after just 10 sitting days, but the government says that was enough time to get important work done.
“I don’t look at the length of time, I just look at what we are trying to accomplish,” Houston said. “What I’m really concerned about is the impact on Nova Scotians and I think the legislation that was passed during the session will have a significant impact.” As for the short legislature sitting, she said it’s not unusual in a province that has a history of short sessions.This year’s spring sitting was only 20 days long and in general most sessions run for at least a month or more. Nova Scotia doesn’t have a legislative calendar — members are called into a house session at the direction of the governing party.
