Nova Scotia’s premier says the Progressive Conservative victory in Tuesday’s provincial byelection is a sign of approval for his government’s attempts to bolster health care.

Tim Houston says voters in the Preston riding were also unhappy over federal carbon pricing, which saw gasoline prices in the province increase about 18 cents a litre last month.
