In 1982 gov funded 82.7% of Canada’s public university operating revenues. By 2012 that dropped to 54.9%. By 2019, it plummeted to around 43%, except in Ontario where ‘public’ universities have just 24% of their costs met by government.

Fiona was not the first clean up we have needed and it certainly won't be the last. NSP needs to be regulated into doing the work to prevent these costs from being incurred in the first place, not allowed to rely on the backs of Nova Scotians to bail them out.
