The Nova Scotia Legislature will open today (Thursday) for a short fall sitting. Its the first session for recently-elected Premier Stephen McNeil and his 31 other Liberal MLA's. Argyle-Barrington Progressive Conservative MLA Chris d'Entremont says he's anxious to get back in the house to see if the Liberals will live up to their election promises and also work to improve the lobster fishery.
The legislature will open this afternoon with the throne speech read by Lieutenant-Governor J.J. Grant.
The session, expected to last only a week or so, is mainly for house keeping and the introduction of a few bills. d'Entremont says its mainly a rehearsal for a spring session.
