Critic says program too complicated

Heating

FREDERICTON - Opposition Conservatives aren't happy with the province's new home heating supplement. Jack Carr, the party's critic for seniors issues, says getting applicants to call a 1-800 number, then fill out forms at a government office is too complicated and will discourage people from applying. The provincial plan will provide up to $550 in emergency funding to households who qualify.
