NFU-NB says provincial daycare program must include farm families

The National Farmers Union in New Brunswick has released an opinion piece saying support for new farmers must include daycare.  Low-income New Brunswickers have a daycare subsidy, but farm families haven’t been able to get it because they’re self-employed.   Members met with the province about this in the summer and were told they could be involved with consultations, but are still awaiting details about the daycare program restructuring.
