As an election approaches, leaders in New Brunswick vow to give women breast density information

Liberal leader Brian Gallant and Progressive Conservative leader Blaine Higgs both made campaign promises this week to make sure women receive the information they need when it comes to breast density, according to a report from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
