Summary
Bill 86, called the Healthcare Trust Act, was introduced by NDP MLA Lisa Lachance in the Nova Scotia Legislature in March 2025. It proposes setting up a dedicated trust — essentially a protected fund — specifically for healthcare in Nova Scotia. The idea is to create a separate, dedicated source of funding for healthcare that would be managed independently from the regular government budget. Unfortunately, the full text of the bill itself was not included in the provided content — only the legislative tracking page was shared. As a result, the specific details about how the trust would be funded, who would manage it, how money could be spent, and what oversight mechanisms would be in place are not available for summary. Only the bill's title, sponsor, party, and procedural status are confirmed.
