Introduction | Previous | Next  Where We Want to Go Our vision is of a thriving Nova Scotia that by 2010 is the best place in Canada to live, work, do business and raise families. How will we know we have arrived at this place? We will know when balanced budgets are annual habits; when our debt is manageable and considerably fewer of our hard-earned dollars are needed to pay debt interest; when employment levels are the highest in memory; when investment, exports, and GDP growth levels are above the national average. We will know we have arrived when fewer of our young people leave, and when others join them here, because the career opportunities are in Nova Scotia. We will have arrived when our economic activity, carried out in a socially and environmentally sustainable manner, generates the necessary public revenues to maintain the strong health, education, and social systems that Nova Scotians expect.
