Gallant says the Alward Government's record on job creation has been abysmal with the province actually losing jobs since the Premier came to power in 2010.
Gallant points out there are now more than 60 food banks with 20 thousand people using them, one-third of whom are children. He maintains the key to ending the poverty cycle is to spend more on education and his goal is top ensure each child in the province is able to read by grade 3.
Gallant also coming out in support of the Energy East pipeline but adds there has to be a plan in place to maximise benefits.
In response to criticism from the NDP, Gallant says the Liberals will vote against switching the provincial pension plan over to the shared risk model.
