Legislation will be introduced today to eliminate the provincial education and tuition tax credits. Instead, the Tuition Access Bursary provides free tuition to students from families making less than $60,000 a year who attend public universities or colleges in New Brunswick. The credits would be out effective New Year’s Day.

Mandatory winter tires?
There’s a new push to make winter tires mandatory in New Brunswick. Right now only Quebec and parts of BC make winter tires the law.
Brunswick News reports Graham Neill of Lincoln has been lobbying for 20 years to make winter tires mandatory for the snowy months and now some politicians are listening.
Green Leader David Coon would like to see the law changed, although he admits there would have to be allowances made for low-income drivers.
Transportation Minister Bill Fraser said he uses winter tires…but thinks there’s merit in considering a new law.
