Lisa Harris’ trip to Ireland questioned
Some people are questioning Lisa Harris’ recent business trip to Ireland. The seniors and long-term care minister and Miramichi Bay-Neguac MLA went to learn about innovations that could be brought to New Brunswick. It cost about $5200 for her and an aide, with Green Party leader David Coon wondering why she didn’t go somewhere better known for senior care. Cecile Cassista of the Coalition for Seniors and Nursing Home Residents’ Rights thinks a lot of research could’ve been done via phone and online.
