\u201cNova Scotia has a wealth of natural resources that are in high demand, and it\u2019s incredibly important that we take full advantage of them in safe and responsible ways to boost Nova Scotia\u2019s economic and energy security,\u201d said Premier Houston. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWorld events continue to demonstrate the importance of making sure Nova Scotia\u2019s economy is more resilient and ready to play a part in Canada\u2019s energy future by further developing our energy capacity and attracting new investments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
