Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Housing Minister Jill Green wouldn't say whether the government would consider implementing a rent cap in the future, given the recent data.
New Brunswick housing department spokesperson Rebecca Howland told Global News that the study is a joint effort with the province's Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture.
After living in his car for six weeks after arriving from Ontario, a father and son have found a place to stay after a Fredericton man welcomed them into their home.
There is no rent cap in the New Brunswick housing strategy, and no rental increase protection between tenants, but Jill Green said 'everything is on the table' on Thursday.
