“Under the old model, the government was continuing to put more and more money into an industry that wasn’t experiencing any growth,” McNeil said on Thursday.

On Friday, the NDP released a document from a Public Accounts Committee presentation in 2014, when a review was underway of Nova Scotia’s tax system by former Ontario cabinet minister Laurel Broten.
