Affordability was a topic for some Atlantic cabinet ministers.

Those responsible for social services met in Halifax Thursday, hosted by Nova Scotia’s Scott Armstrong.

The ministers agreed they need to focus on collaboration with the federal government to address poverty, disability supports, retaining social workers and more.

They also committed to sharing models and best-practices for inclusive and skill-based employment.

Another meeting is planned virtually this winter.
