Mark Embrett is the candidate for the Green Party in South Shore-St. Margarets. (Rick Conrad)

Mark Embrett is trying to make a breakthrough in the federal riding of South Shore-St. Margarets for the Green Party of Canada in the April 28 federal election.

The Queensland resident is an implementation scientist with Nova Scotia Health.

In the 2021 election, the Green Party captured just under three per cent of the vote in the riding.

Embrett told QCCR in this instalment of candidate interviews that he realizes the Green Party likely won’t form government, but he said it’s important to have a party raising issues around equity, the economy and the environment.

The interview was recorded on April 7 and edited for length.
