Abstract

Health, as we all know, is by far the biggest part of the budget. And for years it has also been the fastest growing.... This government has reduced health-care administration costs to below the national average, and has cut the rate of growth of health spending. That is no small feat....” 2012 Nova Scotia Budget Speech (Nova Scotia, p. 11).
