New Brunswick appoints dedicated minister for seniors and long-term care

Previously
→Johnson, the Progressive Conservative seniors and social development critic, wants Premier Holt to establish a dedicated department for seniors and long-term care. She criticizes the cabinet change as possibly a superficial move to quell media and seniors' concerns rather than substantive reform.
Now
