OBRA 0 Comments

It’s not often that a small village gets their issue highlighted in a debate between party leaders, but that’s what exactly what happened this evening on CTV Atlantic’s Party Leaders’ Debate. Credit to OBRA for keeping this issue front and centre throughout the election.
Premier Tim Houston was directly asked about the renoviction of Ocean Breeze families and said he was “heart broken” by the situation but there is nothing his government can do apart from freeing up private developers from unnecessary red tape.

But I got to say, that is absolutely a heartbreaking story for sure," he said. "I've talked to a number of the residents there, I understand the pain of that situation. There is a process that deals with renovictions. But the simple reality is we need more units built. We don't need more government intervention, the province already owns a number of units and to be honest, they have a hard time keeping up with the maintenance on them."'
