Nova Scotia’s energy critic thinks the new Minister of Energy may have too much on his plate.
Michel Samson was sworn in after Andrew Younger stepped down from the portfolio earlier this week.
Tim Houston told News 95.7, he thinks the Samson will have his hands full.
“He’s Minister for Economic and Rural Development, Minister for UARB, Minster for Nova Scotia Business Inc., Minister of Energy, Minister of Communications, Minister for Gateway Initiative, Minster for Innovation Corporation Act,” said Houston. “There’s some pretty hefty responsibilities there, some important portfolios, and I’m just curious how one person is going to be able to properly handle all of those responsibilities.”
Premier Stephen McNeil said Younger will continue to be an important part of the Liberal caucus.
Younger remains the MLA for Dartmouth East.
