Child and youth advocate Kelly Lamrock wrote a report calling out the province for failing to properly run social programs, dating back several decades. (Ed Hunter/CBC - image credit)New Brunswick's child, youth and seniors' advocate has issued a sweeping and scathing denunciation of how the provincial government runs social programs, saying the system is fixated on following rules rather than achieving results. "The failings in long-term care are also the failings in how New Brunswick social programs have been governed," Lamrock writes. Lamrock's report said there is a disconnect between the budget process and what New Brunswickers see day to day. That model is more appropriate for the manufacturing sector than social policy, he adds.
