New Brunswick’s minister of public safety says legislation is coming to provide a legal framework to the office of the provincial security adviser, a little-known branch of government that has been accused of collecting personal information on New Brunswickers.
Robert Gauvin was responding to a call from Green Party Leader David Coonthat the office should not be operating in a legal void.
It’s not clear when the office was created, but it has existed for at least a decade with no legislation setting out what it can and can’t do.
