"It was a good lesson to learn," Stephen Lund, president and CEO of Nova Scotia Business Inc., said in an interview, just a few minutes after the Grade 11 students were asked to raise their hands if they planned to leave the province to get work.

"It must have been 95 per cent of them."

But the head of the agency, which helps attract new companies to the province and helps existing companies expand, said it was their answer to another question that almost left him speechless.

"And the second question was 'How many people think there are no opportunities here?' and they all put their hands up," he said.

His surprise is disingenuous. It's pretty well a provincial tradition to migrate West once one comes of age in Nova Scotia.
