- [Modernizing Home Care Delivery](https://pcpartyns.ca/news/modernizing-home-care-delivery/): Our PC government is taking another step forward in strengthening home and community care with a new provincial technology platform designed to better connect the home care sector and support front-line staff—so Nova Scotians can receive quality care, faster. The new platform will link all publicly funded home care agencies with Nova Scotia Health’s Continuing Care program, improving information sharing and coordination across the system. This will help ensure smoother transitions from hospital to home, reduce administrative burden, and allow care providers to spend more time where it matters most: with patients. “Our government has made significant progress across healthcare.

- [Premier's Op-Ed: Nova Scotia’s Natural Gas is Key to Lower Power Costs](https://pcpartyns.ca/news/premiers-op-ed-nova-scotias-natural-gas-is-key-to-lower-power-costs/): Nova Scotia Power appears more focused on their bottom line than yours. They buy energy from numerous sources: coal, gas, wind, solar, and whatever they pay, a part of that cost is passed along to you. This is why we must ensure Nova Scotia Power buys energy at the lowest possible price &#8211; to keep rates as low as possible for consumers. There is one obvious way to lower these costs: use Nova Scotia natural gas. We have enough natural gas to meet our power demand for nearly 200 years. But, instead of drawing it from beneath our feet, Nova [&hellip;]

Over the course of 2025, the progress has been even more significant. From January 1 to December 1, the number of people on the registry dropped by 41,966.

That translates to a consistent and exportable 40GW of clean power. Why It Matters [&hellip;]
