Political panel consisting of 3 New Brunswick party leaders talks about homelessness
Premier Susan Holt says she expects results from a ministerial task force on homelessness by the end of the year. Opposition Leader Glen Savoie says the government should have moved sooner.
Premier Susan Holt said she expects some results out of the newly created government task force on homelessness in New Brunswick by the end of the year.
“This is a group that’s ready to move quickly and there’s lots of different things that need to get done,” Holt said during a political panel discussion on Information Morning Fredericton, recorded Thursday.
“This is going to happen in a matter of weeks, not months.”
The province launched a ministerial task force on homelessness last week, made up of ministers and deputy ministers from key departments such as Social Development, Justice, Public Safety and Local Government.
Holt’s government said in a statement that the task force’s “first actions will include a provincial homelessness strategy and establishing an advisory council of community partners.”
But interim Progressive Conservative leader Glen Savoie said the Liberals have been in power for about a year and should have already made progress on the pressing topic.
