Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston faces criticism from the farm wine sector after a proposed support plan was deemed inadequate. Karl Coutinho, co-chair of the working group, resigned, labeling the government's proposals as "insulting" and lacking proper consultation. Wineries argue the plan favors commercial bottlers and foreign wines over local producers. The sector is urging the government to develop a more supportive program focused on local agriculture.
