On this side of the House, the Liberals, @NSNDP & @NovaScotiaESM are firm in our commitment to ban the misuse of NDAs in sexual assault cases. In debate last night, the Houston Conservatives made it clear they don’t want to protect women, but the opposition in NS won’t back down.

The guilty verdict in the latest Trump trial speaks volumes! People who value power and influence- take note! Silencing, gagging and hush money to cover up misconduct are tactics of the past that no longer belong in current times. Not even the former president is immune. Time

The misuse of NDAs are often linked to sexual assault and sexual harassment, However, we KNOW that NDAs are used to coverage up other types of wrongdoing such as bullying, discrimination, animal attacks and even building costs!
