Media Report
The Nova Scotia government's 2026 budget includes more than $300 million in cuts affecting approximately 1,000 full-time equivalent jobs across the civil service and broader public sector. The cuts target management and administration roles rather than front-line services, with job reductions to be achieved by January 2027, with the Justice and Social Development departments expected to take the biggest hit.
