Twila Grosse said no decision yet on her role with African Nova Scotian Affairs, joining caucus [AUDIO]
Twila Grosse won Tuesday’s byelection, making her the first person of African descent to be elected for the provincial PC party.
The next sitting of the legislative assembly will also be the first in Nova Scotia’s history where MLAs of African descent will represent all of the parties in the legislature.
At her campaign announcement event in June, Grosse and Premier Tim Houston said they had had some preliminary discussions about her taking on the role of minister with African Nova Scotian Affairs. In an interview with the Examiner on Thursday, Grosse reiterated that no decision has been made on that matter.
“Now my focus is, in terms of being oriented, being set up as an MLA, getting going with regards to trying to seek solutions, and trying to get up to speed on some of the various issues and some of the things that need to be done in the riding,” Grosse said.
“I’m sure at some point that discussion will be had with regards to moving forward and sort of how I can contribute to our government.”
