Summary
Bill 235, called the Public Investment Integrity Act, is a private member's bill introduced by NDP MLA Paul Wozney in the Nova Scotia Legislature. It proposes amendments to two existing provincial laws: the Labour Standards Code and the Trade Union Act. The goal appears to be adding rules or requirements around integrity when public funds are invested, though the full text of the specific amendments is not available in the provided document. Because only the bill's title, introduction details, and legislative progress information are available — and not the actual amendment text — it is not possible to describe the specific changes in detail. What is known is that the bill targets the standards governing labour practices and trade union activities in the context of public investment in Nova Scotia. The bill was introduced on March 6, 2026, and is currently at the First Reading stage, meaning it has been formally introduced but has not yet been debated or passed.
