In this file photo, Chris d'Entremont talks with reporters after addressing a business luncheon in Halifax on Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2006. HALIFAX -- The second in a trio of Nova Scotia Progressive Conservatives shifting to federal politics says he'll keep drawing a salary as a member of the legislature -- despite calls from the premier for him to quit immediately.
But first, d'Entremont says he'll draw a salary over the summer as a member of the legislature, leaving campaigning to spare hours. MacLeod has also said he's staying on until September, when the federal Liberals are expected to drop the writ for the fall election. Liberal Premier Stephen McNeil has said it makes "no sense" that three Progressive Conservatives and one NDP member would continue to build up their pensions and receive provincial funds as they begin campaigning for a federal job.
Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Houston said in a telephone interview on Sunday that in the past, McNeil has left seats vacant for almost six months as the Liberals sought optimal political timing for a byelection.
