"On behalf of all Ontario New Democrats, I want to extend heartiest congratulations to Darrell Dexter and the entire Nova Scotia NDP team for their historic election win.

They ran a positive, upbeat campaign that focused on the priorities of everyday Nova Scotians.

Their successful campaign once again proves that New Democrats can win elections anytime and anywhere.

I look forward to working with Premier Dexter and wish him and his caucus colleagues the best of luck as they embark upon this exciting new journey in government."
