According to health minister Madeleine Dubé, the provincial government has heard a lot of feedback saying that licensing and inspection requirements are too demanding. Community suppers, ice cream stands, and people who sell homemade food, currently have to have a license issued by the province.
The proposed amendments would mean that not-for-profit fundraisers wouldn't have to have a license. It would also provide an exemption for single-day events, like church suppers. A draft of the proposal will be posted online at the GNB website: there, people can comment on it before the regulation becomes law.
