A group of New Brunswick residents are calling on the provincial government to allow the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) to investigate the cause of a mysterious neurological disease that has affected over 100 patients.
In a joint statement released on March 28, patients suffering from “atypical neurological decline” and their families, alongside Leader of the New Brunswick Green Party David Coon and MLA Megan Mitton, urged Health Minister Bruce Fitch to clear the way for PHAC to launch an investigation into “potential environmental causes” of brain disease reportedly affecting a number of New Brunswick residents.
