The Nova Scotia government introduced a contentious omnibus bill this week .

The bill will make it possible for Premier Tim Houston ’s Progressive Conservatives to fire the auditor general without cause.

The auditor general has played a key role in keeping the government and all members of the legislature accountable for their actions.

On Thursday , auditor general Kim Adair urged the government to withdraw the amended legislation.

Urbaniak said the auditor general has annoyed the government by drawing attention to lax spending rules.

He agreed with the argument that the province’s access to information law is being undermined.

“This populist movement weakens institutions that can provide objective information in favour of spin and propaganda,” he said.
