As the political parties in New Brunswick continue on the campaign trail, the Liberal party focused on mental health services, while the PC party said it wants to see more youth gaining financial literacy, while the Greens want a cap on rental prices.

The New Brunswick Liberal Party has released a $4.7 million commitment to bolster mental health support in the province. Party Leader Susan Holt announced the plan on Sept. 26, saying she wanted to see wait times fall for mental health care.
