Thank God I have ADHD because I had a very busy day.

It all began this afternoon when I tried to reach someone from the Justice Department.

Last week, I walked by Bruce Fitch and told the Justice Minister that I have to chat with the guy.

In the past, he always gave me the time of day but lately he’s a hard guy to track down.

The reason I wish to chat with Bruce Fitch is concerning Boarders and Roomers rights bill!

A few weeks ago, he made a presentation to the Legislature and proudly announce that after years or neglect these 20,000 poor New Brunswickers will have rights!



There’s only one itty bitty problem????

In his presentation, he said the word - Damage Deposit over and over!

Excuse me? If you live in a Rooming house? How the heck are you suppose to be able to afford a damage deposit???

It’s an impossible task!!!

Last week, I had a little meeting with the Rentalsman and he told me that with rights must comes more employees, computers and all kinds of different avenues.

As we speak? Boarders and Roomers don’t have rights!

They can be evicted without just cause.


They can be told to leave and they have one hour to oblige. The police will be called to escort the poor individual out the door.



I have a case pending in front of the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission but I promise a friend that I won’t write about the issue.

All I’ll say is that it don’t look good but stay tune!



Anyway, I contacted Bruce Fitch’s office and I chatted with a Rosanne.

I wanted to know more details of the bill to includes boarders and roomers in the Landlord and tenant act.

I just wanted to chat about the issue of damage deposit.

I was told to contact Marilyn Born.

I didn’t even know this department existed? It’s a department separated from the Rentalsman office.

I called and the receptionist asked me for my name?

She place me on hold and told me that Marilyn Born was occupied.

This is the reason that I don’t give away my name.

Around 30 minutes later, I showed up in their office.

A person has to love the Capital because all the Generals are located in one area. The rest of the Province are only soldiers.

Once in the office in King’s Place, the secretary went inside the office.

She returned and told me that Marilyn Born is very busy.

I guess she has meetings planned?

I told her that the a woman from Bruce Fitch office sent me here.

I wasn’t getting nowhere with this bureaucrat.

I asked if it would take 6 months to make an appointment?

Later that day? I received this email-

Mr. LeBlanc,

There is nothing further Mrs. Born can give you at this time on this subject, therefore, she doesn't wish to meet with you until this law has been resolved.

Mrs. Born only handles complaint cases
that cannot be resolved by the district office of the Rentalsman and this request doesn't fall under this category.

Once the legislature has passed and you have more concerns and the district office cannot resolve it, we will look at your request again.

Thank you.

So? I don’t know who this Marilyn Born is or what’s her job but one thing is certain!!!!

These bureaucrats don’t wish to have input from the poor whatsoever!

The law will be forward by this bureaucrat and there’s nothing the poor can do!

What’s next?

Well? I will continue phoning Bruce Fitch office till I have answers?



I’m the one who put this issue on the front platter but these high paid bureaucrats believe that I should be ignored!

As far as I’m concern? The roomers and Boarders bill is a big farce.



Do these bureaucrats truly understand the real issue?

Of course not!

But one thing is certain? I will continue the fight till my concerns are met!!!!

Shame shame shame on the high class bureaucrats to ignore the poor on such an emotional and important issue.

Our New Brunswick flag sure represents the way the poor are treated in this Province.
