First announced in April, McKenzie says an NDP government would provide free community college tuition, reduce university tuition by 25 per cent and eliminate interest on provincial student loans.

Campaigning in Fredericton, McKenzie says her party’s platform is shaped in part by youth to send a strong signal to them that they can stay in New Brunswick and build their lives in the province.
