Paid Sick Day Legislation Update in New Brunswick: Report Release Pending

With the legislative session nearing its end, Green MLA Megan Mitton expresses frustration over the lack of progress on a bill to mandate paid sick days. Despite a committee report being completed months ago, its release has been delayed. Deputy Minister Daniel Mills has indicated its readiness, but Minister Greg Turner provides no specific reason for the delay. Turner emphasizes the existence of a timeline and denies attempts to limit legislative scrutiny. Mitton suspects the government is attempting to тихо bury the report and its recommendations. Turner declines to comment on accepting the recommendations and reiterates the need for a national agreement on the issue.
