Timeline
Timothy Jerome Houston (born April 10, 1970) is a Canadian politician who is the 30th and current premier of Nova Scotia since 2021.
Houston attended Saint Mary's University, graduating in 1992 with a Bachelor of Commerce.
He then moved to Bermuda, working there as a consultant from 1995 to 2007.
Houston then worked as a chartered accountant and as a financial consultant with Deloitte.
On November 27, 2012, Houston won the Progressive Conservative nomination in the riding of Pictou East for the 2013 Nova Scotia general election.
He was first elected to the Nova Scotia House of Assembly in the 2013 provincial election.
A member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Nova Scotia, he represents the electoral district of Pictou East.
He was elected MLA of Pictou East on October 8, 2013, with 48.08% of the vote.
He was re-elected on May 30, 2017 with 73.88% of the vote.
On November 19, 2017, Houston announced his candidacy for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party of Nova Scotia.
Houston also served as the leader of the opposition from 2018 to 2021.
He and the Progressive Conservative party won a majority government in the 2021 Nova Scotia general election, becoming the first Progressive Conservative premier since 2009.
Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Houston lived in several different places around the world as his father was in the military.
His family eventually re-settled in Halifax and Houston attended Halifax West High School.
Houston was elected leader of the Progressive Conservative Party after the first ballot results were announced on October 27, 2018, at the Party's Leadership Convention in Halifax.
He earned 48.96% of the points on the first ballot, leaving other candidates no clear path to victory.
The other candidates conceded after the first ballot.
Houston has been publicly open to the option of fracking in Nova Scotia, a controversial stance.
He has said, as Leader of the Opposition, that he would not criticize the Government without offering his own ideas in response.
The incumbent Liberals held a 75% approval rating in June 2021.
In an upset, Houston and the Progressive Conservatives won a majority government in the 2021 Nova Scotia general election, becoming the first Progressive Conservative premier since 2009.
Houston ran on a Red Tory platform that promised more spending on health care.
Houston and his cabinet were sworn in on August 31, 2021.
Houston was elected on a platform to fix Nova Scotia's healthcare system.
A day after being sworn in, Houston fired the CEO and board of the Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA), the provincial healthcare provider.
He stated that he "needed a clean slate at the helm of his leadership team" for the Tories' intended overhaul of the healthcare system.
Houston appointed a new NSHA board as well as a new CEO, Karen Oldfield, who possessed no healthcare experience.
Critics drew attention to the lack of diversity of the new board, as the first and only Black and Indigenous board members were both dismissed.
The Houston government lifted Nova Scotia's COVID-19 measures in March 2022, including public health restrictions and mask requirements.
Infectious disease experts questioned the move and predicted a rise in cases.
In May 2022, the government lifted mask requirements in public schools.
In July 2022, the government ended the requirement for those infected with COVID-19 to isolate.
The lifting of pandemic precautions led to a surge in the disease (and associated deaths) and strained the healthcare system.
By mid-2022, Nova Scotia's family doctor waitlist hit an all-time high of 100,000, prompting opposition leaders to accuse Houston of breaking his campaign promise to fix healthcare.
Shortly after taking office, Houston launched a review of 20 provincial Crown corporations to "[ensure] the most efficient and accountable methodology for the undertaking of their respective tasks".
In July 2022, the Houston government announced a reshuffle of several agencies.
Nova Scotia Lands and Develop Nova Scotia will be merged to form a new corporation called Build Nova Scotia.
Innovacorp, Nova Scotia Business Inc. (NSBI), and the Invest Nova Scotia Fund will be merged into the new Invest Nova Scotia.
Decision-making power was removed from boards, with the organisations placed under direct government control: Invest Nova Scotia will report directly to the minister of economic development, while Build Nova Scotia will be overseen by the minister for public works.
On November 2, 2020, he was awarded the profession’s highest mark of distinction, the Fellow (FCPA) designation, by Chartered Professional Accountants of Nova Scotia.
