Provincial Social Development Minister Kelly Lamrock concedes it will be a huge job.
He’s talking about a wholesale revamping of the social assistance system which will mean getting rid of the rules that don’t make sense while ensuring the system won’t be abused. Lamrock, who expressed reservations about the original Hydro Quebec deal for NB Power, says he hasn’t had a lot of time to think about the opposition’s motion to hold a referendum on the sale.
Lamrock says he hopes some people still care about poverty and literacy
and not contributing to the NB Power drama.
The issue of a referendum is expected to be debated today in the Legislature.
