"so inclusive they are exclusive" describes a paradox where strict enforcement of inclusivity standards unintentionally creates a new, rigid boundary that shuts people out"

The Auditor General report goes beyond counting clinics and asks whether Holt government can actually demonstrate that its model is improving access & concluded it did not have adequate information to show it was.

Thirty Clinics Won’t Matter If You Still Can’t See a Doctor
The Auditor General looked beyond the clinic announcements and asked the question that matters most: is primary care actually getting better?

Team Holt campaigned on fixing a broken health-care system through collaborative clinics, better data, evidence-based decisions, and transparent government. Two years later, the AG paints a very different picture. Bottom line: taxpayers are paying 18% more for a still-broken system. #nbpoli

What documented assessment put these projects ahead of other hospital needs across NB?
Were accreditation risks, patient volumes, infrastructure condition & readiness assessed consistently?
The accreditation claim needs more explanation and the endoscopy was announced a year ago. #nbpoli

This year, Holt capped municipality’s authority to set property tax rates that drive ~85% of revenue (#Fredericton’s estimate). If higher than Holt Gov. determines, in its own right, municipality needs to justify. The process is not yet known & budgets are due in 2 months #nbpoli

In October 2024, the party leaders were in this chamber and then Liberal leader promised property tax reforms to empower municipalities. It didn’t happen and what came was a freeze that was a $4.2m hit to #Fredericton this year.
