Premier Darrell Dexter himself has been on hand announcing millions of dollars for expansion at Cooke Aquaculture in Shelburne County, opening affordable housing units in Chester, costing $340,000 in provincial money.
The premier has also announced half a million dollars for replacement beds and other equipment at South Shore hospitals and nearly half a million for the province's boat building association.
The province's Liberal leader Stephen McNeil says the premier is attempting to prevent the NDP from losing seats on the South Shore in the next provincial election by pouring money into the area.
McNeil says he's confident his party may score some victories on the South Shore when the next provincial election is held.
