Bill introduced to make certain provincial applications easier

A bill has been introduced to let the Department of Social Development gain access to CRA financial information on behalf of clients applying for certain programs.  It would amend the Family Income Security, Family Services, Nursing Homes and New Brunswick Housing acts, and make it easier to apply for social assistance, public housing, long-term care, and dental and vision programs.
