HALIFAX – Two Colchester County MLAs had their assignments changed as part of a cabinet shuffle on Friday by Premier Darrell Dexter.

Truro Bible Hill MLA Lenore Zann was named as ministerial assistant involving issues pertaining to the environment, climate change and flood control.

Colchester-Musquodoboit Valley MLA Gary Burrill was appointed ministerial assistant for seniors concerns.

"Ministerial assistants are instrumental in helping to ensure that government policies and programs address the key priorities of government and make life better for Nova Scotia families," Dexter said, in a news release.

"I want to welcome the appointees to their new roles and thank them for

accepting this important responsibility."

I am confused. I asked a simply question regarding the flood situation we had from Truro To Bible Hill regarding the Subway and Park Street and I did not even get one comment back from the new Ministerial Assistant of Flood Control and I know I just a small fish in a Big Pond of Flood water but I should have been given atleast a courtesy to some comment. I do respect Lenore Zann but to have a comment and get ignored I do feel that my comments do not matter. I do not understand that the Goverment spent all the money on the last flood and we still get rain over night and then again the two main threw ways were again closed can we not fix this. I am not concerned just for me I am concerned for the many people need atleast one of those access roads to be available atleast 90 % of the time. I would atleast expected we found some clitches that we still need to clarify or we are working on it something. I do mean this in all due respect. Or cannot this problem be rectified at all.
