Le gouvernement devrait comprendre le message véhiculé par ces résultats. Plus important encore, en Nouvelle-Écosse, le nouveau chef du Nouveau Parti démocratique fédéral, Mme Alexa McDonough, a bien servi ses électeurs à l'assemblée législative provinciale durant 14 ans.
When we look at the election that replaced Alexa McDonough in Halifax Fairview, the Liberal government in the province of Nova Scotia said prior to that byelection that when the byelection was called it would put its all into it, that it would campaign on its record, that it would campaign on taxation, on how it was dealing with harmonizing the provincial tax with the federal GST.
