HALIFAX – An official with the communications arm of the Nova Scotia government says it is considering whether to make some information it obtains through polling and research available to the public.
Tracey Taweel, the associate deputy minister for Communications Nova Scotia, says the information is currently only available through freedom of information requests.
Taweel, who appeared before the legislature’s public accounts committee Wednesday, was unable to provide a figure on how much the government spends on polling.
She says that will be easier to do once all polling is centralized within her department, a project that is ongoing.
She says Communications Nova Scotia has reduced its number of employees by 25, leaving 98 people working throughout government departments.
