HALIFAX – Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil says possible pay cuts for provincial politicians are part of ongoing budget deliberations.
McNeil says the government is looking at all options regarding compensation for politicians as it prepares its spring budget.
But McNeil says civil servants will not have their wages reduced.
He says the government is in contract negotiations with several bargaining units and is not looking at any salary rollbacks.
On Monday, New Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant said he and members of his cabinet will have their ministerial salaries reduced by 15 and 10 per cent respectively until the province’s books are balanced.
