New Brunswick Green Party Leader David Coon says a one-size-fits-all, profit-driven homecare model leads to lower in-home care standards and unacceptable wages. Coon says if his party forms government, it would increase training requirements for homecare workers, boost salaries to ensure a living wage and improve standards for in-home care.
