Here is the article recently published in the New\nWark times<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nMLA Megan Mitton calls for more government help to keep small businesses afloat<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First, in the link above, we can read that Ms. Mitton is discussing other proposals including grants that \u201cwould help small businesses get advice from consultants on how to adapt and recover from COVID-19 restrictions<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can such an idea concretely help entrepreneurs and\nfuel the economy? Who would decide which list of \u201cconsultants\u201d would be\nacceptable?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, is the business we would get between Amherst and Port Elgin\/Sackville worth the risk of undoing all the excellent work by our government in this pandemic, namely by acting fast and closing our borders with three neighbours struggling with covid-19 cases (Qu\u00e9bec, NS, and Maine)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all due respect to our MLA and her party, Bambi trusts Premier Higgs’ more vast expertise with business. More recently, like her fellow New Brunswickers and Canadians, she has also witnessed NB\u2019s good job when it comes to pandemics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, blunders happen with the implementation of new\nemergency regulations (i.e., borders). Sadly, we saw an excessive case at the\nairport last month with a young man coming from Ontario:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
