MONCTON, N.B. — New Brunswick's Liberal leader challenged her Progressive Conservative opponent on Wednesday night to explain how his plan to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes will help fund a health system struggling to care for a growing population.
And she took aim at Higgs's claim that his tax cuts reflect the reality that "people can spend money better than government." He said his government will find innovative ways to bring health services to citizens, such as expending the scope of practice of nurses and pharmacists.Green Party Leader David Coon, meanwhile, said his party would end the centralization and privatization of the health system, promising to grant more autonomy to regional hospitals.
Coon said his government would "never" prohibit the use of a safe injection site, adding that substance use was a symptom of trauma. Higgs said that while he has no connection to the group, those flyers are protected by free speech. "I find it really shocking that the discussion around parents and their involvement with their minor age children is such a debate," he said.
