New Brunswick's health minister said nothing was held back from the public about an unknown neurological disease in the province, even though it wasn't publicly acknowledged before Radio-Canada unveiled a leaked memo from the province.
Health Minister Dorothy Shephard said the province was first made aware of the cluster of the unknown disease in December 2020 and the first draft of the case definition was made on January 29, 2021.
She said while the province has posted a website and struck up a group of experts to get to the bottom of the disease, she said there's still no more new information to release.
"There's not any more information than what we've already made public, because there is no more information," said Shephard.
