How Do We Hold Government Accountable in Nova Scotia? The one watchdog organization we do have in Nova Scotia, is the Office of the Auditor General. The Tim Houston Government now wants to possess the power to fire the Auditor General if they wish. Here was the media quote: “Tim Houston introduced a bill that would allow cabinet to dismiss the auditor general after a two-thirds vote in the House "for reasons other than cause or incapacity." Also reported, “Under the amendments tabled on Tuesday, the Houston government would have power to veto or -censor reports or portions of reports for reasons they include as solicitor-client privilege, litigation privilege, settlement privilege or public interest immunity.” Father Maroun met with Kim Adair from the Nova Scotia Auditor General's Office last year and supplied her with thousands of pages of data on equalization. Father Maroun left Kim Adair with data keys full of information that the RCMP used in their investigation after the NSEF and Father Maroun filed formal complaints against the provincial government. Could this be the reason for Tim Houston’s actions? Could Kim Adair be ready to start her audit into equalization? Maybe we will never know but it seems fishy to us that this is happening. What disclosure is the Houston Government afraid of in terms of finances?
