FREDERICTON - The leader of New Brunswick's Green Party is promising to pass a law that would guarantee the right to a healthy environment if his party is elected to govern on Oct. 21.

David Coon was campaigning in Saint John, N.B., on Wednesday. He announced the pledge while standing outside a scrapyard where a fire in September 2023 burned for two days, its hazardous smoke drifting over the city as emergency officials urged people to stay inside and wear a mask.
