Clinic 554 has been at the centre of New Brunswick's abortion access debate, and during this election campaign, the Liberals, Greens and New Democrats have all promised to improve access. The only other place providing surgical abortion services is Clinic 554, a family practice run by Dr. Adrian Edgar in Fredericton. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau vowed to force the provincial government to fund abortions in Clinic 554 during the last federal election. Clinic 554 and the access it provides to abortion have been a provocative issue in the Sept. 14 election. Dr. Adrian Edgar, medical director of Clinic 554, said he will sell his clinic as soon as he gets a 'reasonable' offer.
