The fall session of the P.E.I. Legislature opens Tuesday, and the opposition will be after the government to move on a number of issues.
The biggest single item expected is the capital budget, where the government will outline spending plans on infrastructure such as schools, health-care facilities and roads.
Government House Leader Sidney MacEwen said climate change will be a consideration in how that money is spent, with "a focus on the transition to net zero."
"Health and education are the big priorities, you know, continued progress on the mental health campus and primary care, and then also into our schools as well," MacEwen said.
The Green Party will be looking for money to address the housing crisis in the capital budget, and Leader Peter Bevan-Baker has a specific idea in mind.
"I'd love to see them make a large investment in public housing through CMHC and federal funds," said Bevan-Baker.
He said there is a lot of federal money that could be leveraged with even a small investment by the province.
