(Communications Nova Scotia) CANADAHALIFAX news Barbara Adams appointed new N.S. Minister of Justice by admin 23 أبريل، 2024 written by admin 23 أبريل، 2024 36 By CityNews Halifax Staff Nova Scotia’s Premier has appointed a new Justice Minister after the previous one resigned following his controversial comments about domestic violence. Tim Houston announced on Monday that Barbara Adams will take over as Minister of Justice and Attorney General. This comes after former Justice Minister Brad Johns resigned last week after saying he disputed the Mass Casualty Commission’s finding that domestic violence is an epidemic. On Monday, Johns said he volunteered to step down after several organizations that assist women told him about the damage his words had caused. Adams will take over his former post while also retaining her portfolio as Minister of Seniors and Long-Term Care. “Barbara has been doing an excellent job as Minister of Seniors and Long-Term Care, bringing passion, empathy and determination to the role,” Houston said. “I know that she will bring those same qualities to the Department of Justice as we work to improve the system and implement the recommendations of the Mass Casualty Commission.” The province said the appointment has been approved by the Lieutenant-Governor and is effective immediately. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Police ask for help finding missing 18-year-old next post RCMP search for missing Beechville man You may also like Nova Scotia legislature flags at half-mast to mark... 29 أبريل، 2024 Bidders express interest in buying all or part... 29 أبريل، 2024 What Trudeau’s podcast appearances say about the Liberals’... 29 أبريل، 2024 First, she aimed to transform Canada’s military culture.... 29 أبريل، 2024 [تقرير] الهجرة المغاربية في مقاطعة كيبيك 29 أبريل، 2024 أونتاريو: نائبة تتحدى أمراً بنزع كوفيتها وتتعهد بمواصلة... 27 أبريل، 2024 تمويل فدرالي وكيبيكي بقيمة 100 مليون دولار دعماً... 27 أبريل، 2024 First court appearance for boy and girl charged... 27 أبريل، 2024 Province officially reaches tentative deal with teachers 27 أبريل، 2024 Mounties investigate hate-motivated graffiti in Porters Lake 27 أبريل، 2024
