Dear Committee Members,
I am writing to you with a concern related to Amendment No. 1, an update to the rules of the 2026 Nova Scotia Liberal Leadership, that I received on Thursday.
This Amendment raises the fee for seniors and for youth to register as delegates for the 2026 Leadership convention.
I have had many conversations with party members over the past months and the delegate fee is a common concern. The rising cost of living is a struggle across the province, and it particularly impacts seniors on fixed incomes and our youth who are dealing with a housing crunch. People are eager to participate in the leadership process, and one of my priorities as a candidate is to ensure we have a party where existing members are heard, and new members feel welcomed.
Our party needs to be focused on growth – not raising barriers.
I implore you to reconsider your decision to raise the delegate fee for seniors and youth. Furthermore, while no fee would be the preference of the majority of the membership, if there is to be one, I would request it be lowered for everyone instead of raised for many.
I appreciate your consideration and look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for the work and time you continue to put in to ensure a successful leadership election.
Kind Regards,
Amanda Mombourquette
Candidate
2026 Nova Scotia Liberal Leadership
