Benefits of Membership

The NBEA is aware of the proposed fee increases for services provided by the Provincial Veterinary Clinic in Fredericton. We realize that a severe and unexpected increase in diagnostic and treatment costs for services provided at the Provincial Clinic in Fredericton may affect the ability of some of our members to maintain quality care for their horses.

The NBEA is in discussion with government representatives regarding your concerns. We encourage everyone who is affected by the proposed fee increases to contact their local MLA, the Premier, the Minister of Agriculture and Aquaculture and the Minister of Finance. A list of all government contacts is available at Government Contacts List.

Details on the increases are available, beginning on page 8, at this link: Proposed Fee Increases

These increases (186% at the Fredericton Clinic and an average of 11% for other services) will impact all livestock operations - beef, dairy, hog, - you name it. If you are concerned about the impact this will have on all concerned, please speak out and let the politicians know what your concerns are and WHY it's important.
