Churchill has been travelling the province this summer, meeting with Nova Scotians. Churchill says he’s been hearing a lot of concerns. He says topping the list is affordability concerns.

He says young people are worried about their ability of growing a future here, with significant increases in rents or their ability to buy a home.

Churchill says Nova Scotians are also concerned about worsening trends in health care with more people looking for a family doctor, as well as rising wait times in emergency rooms and to see specialists.
