New Brunswick, which will end mask rules and other COVID-19 restrictions on Monday, will seek an independent review of its response to the pandemic.
No details about the pending review, including the timeline, have been provided."We are currently looking at options for government consideration," Erika Jutras, spokesperson for Finance and Treasury Board told CBC.
"We will have more details to share about the post-mortem once we are further along in the process," Jutras said. I thought this would be something that happens when all is said and done. And all is not said and done yet.Asked whether he would support the idea later, he said, "Sure," if the government feels it can "learn something," such as whether different actions could have had a better impact.Higgs said he was proud of his government's response, citing spending to help businesses and people recover, record immigration, and interest in properties.
Still, Deonandan is pleased to hear New Brunswick is undertaking a review, and expects other provinces and countries will follow. Some doctors argued there weren't randomized controlled trials for the efficacy of various measures used, such as masks and vaccine passports, he said.
