Higgs will probably leave finance open in case Cathy Rogers wants it.

represents the agriculture, dairy , education centers of new brunswick

George Smith
Sorry I forgot the Premier in
my prior comments. That means we the taxpayer will be paying 17 MLA's
extra money leaving 5 of the governing party out of the money. It is too
many in our current financial situation. That's around a third of the
elected officials getting a large pay increase before they even start
the job. Would Higgs former employer top up that many new hires on the
first day of work. I think not, nor should we.
herbie harris
@George Smith What a shame
that higgs had to appoint 16 plus 1 to cabinet just trying to make sure
they all get a little extra before the next election in a few months...
Northrup wasn't given a cabinet post as there is a email send from
irving to tell higgs who to and not who to appoint.. Gauvin deputy
premier that should make the north happy now higgs is making fun of the
French.. Election soon
David Amos
@herbie harris "Election soon"
Methinks that depends very much on how the Kingmakers in the Watermelon Party and the PANB react to the pending Throne Speech/ I believe if the liberals were wiseguys they would vote against it on principla just like Higgs did because they still have lots of money to campaign again with and Higgs has none N'esy Pas?

I watched with interest the
ceremony on CBC.ca. I have no love for Blaine Higgs and less for Brian
Gallant. Gallant seemed broken hearted and bored while he twirled his
pen all throughout the proceedings. He looked like a spoiled little boy
who didn't get his way. Pathetic.
David Amos
@James Johnstone I enjoyed watching the Circus

@David Amos, well they now
have a comedian... and many buf foons. All they need now is a magician
and the circle will be complete.
George Smith
22 MLA's and 16 of them get
higher paying jobs. Only 6 don't. How is that okay in a province with
debts that have it bordering on bankruptcy. Cut some of these cabinet
jobs it isn't a responsible thing to have so many at this or any time.
If not then why not make every MLA a minister of something, How about
Ministers of Convenience don't they deserve the same pay as the other
16? Shameful but that's politics in New Brunswick.
David Amos
@George Smith My tally comes 5 Bruce Fitch, Bruce Northrup, Gary Crossman, Glen Savoie and Stewart Fairgrieve

@Marguerite Deschamps Methinks its because you are wrong N'ey Pas?
BTW I talked to Wayne Grant personally after he retired and gave him some document to prove what I was telling him was true about Katherine d'Entremont and her cohorts However he no longer cared and i certainly understand. For the record the nasty lady who taught school in Sussexx where I usually run for public office met Mr Grant at the desk of Chancery Place. He complaint caused his hours to be cut and sent to watch the parking lot across the street until he retired.

@Marc Martin You realize only
46% of adult New Brunswick residents are considered literate, in either
language, and it is the worst in Canada by a long shot, less than half
the population of New Brunswick is considered literate enough to
function in professional society, Ie; function adequately in the work
force, less than half are considered literate.
Jim Moore
@Jim Moore You can thank your Liberals for that.
Jim Moore
@Marc Martin He was 100%
right on all points, New Brunswick is the Armpit of Canada when it
comes to Employment, healthcare, quality of living, and education, the
wages are on average less than half that in other provinces. And the
majority of residents aren't even considered literate in any language
and wouldn't pass a grade school literacy test

The 2 language are both treated equally, If you didn't get a job its because you simply do not qualify for it.

@Marc Martin My point is
pretty valid considering you can't even form a basic sentence even when
you are trying to, and it directly proves my point one the average
education level and literacy rate in New Brunswick, its the worse in the
country and by a long shot
Jim Moore
@Marc Martin They aren't
equal at all, if they were then the french would be held to the same
standards the english are when it comes to testing for bilingual
literacy, as it stands now the French have a very simplified oral exam
consisting of a couple extremely simple questions in english only they
barely need to answer, the english are subjected to a written and oral
exam in both french and english that they are graded to a very high
standard on. That and the french in general can have horrible english
and barely able to communicate, yet get all the government jobs, and are
classified as bilingual when they are barely literate if at all in
either language, and the english are outright refused jobs for not
having perfect french with no accent. As well per person the french
receive 4 times the funding the english get. Its a very unfair and
slanted system. Hopefully its fixed and soon, along with abolishing
segregation, or what the french love to call duality

@Rosco holt "The double
standard is having standards being lowered to serve the lazy whiners who
don't bother to get the qualifications. While those who did get
penalized."
Methinks the only standard that matters in government is not what you know but who you know N'esy Pas?

@Jim Moore, he did not write
"swarned", but "sworned". Although both are incorrect, how about you;
you can't even copy correctly. Although we should try to make as few
errors as possible, none of us is perfect, including you. If you wish
to nitpick, you failed to put an apostrophe to "more than half of the
province's ability".
Marguerite Deschamps
@Jim Moore, furthermore, if
you pronounced "sworned" or "sworn", you would not even notice the
difference in pronunciation. Talk about cutting hair!
I can give you examples of French correspondence from so-called bilingual Anglophones in the public sector. It is just brutal! Yet they still hold bilingual positions.

@Marguerite Deschamps What
are you talking about Sworn and Sworned don't sound even remotely the
same at all. Not even close, the E is not silent. Stop making excuses
for a complete lack of ability. A missing apostrophe, is nowhere near a
completely butchered spelling that isn't even in the english language.
And I am so sorry I didn't copy a word that doesn't exists in any
language improperly, I couldn't spell it that bad if I tried. But this
goes directly to my point that the french and english are held to
different standards when it comes to literacy and what would be
considered acceptable, one side is held to university level standards in
both languages, and the other side is not even held to grade school
proficiency levels and given all the jobs even though they make up less
than one quarter the population.
Marguerite Deschamps
@Jim Moore, keep going, you are just proving that all these allegations you keep making is total BS.

"matters in government is not what you know but who you know N'esy Pas?"
Yes, there is that too.

If you ask me, from my
experience dealing with government employees, about all you need is
toddler French for an Anglophone to get a government job.

Actually most of bilingual jobs in the Federal government and provincial are deemed French essentiel and requires a B in French which any 5th grader can achieve. In Jim's its not his fault he probably finished school at grade 4.

Premier Blaine Higgs cabinet includes all 4 women in caucus, lone francophone
Higgs tells 16 fellow cabinet ministers they have to give straight answers
CBC News · Posted: Nov 09, 2018 9:00 AM ATBlaine Higgs has become New Brunswick's 34th premier and has sworn in a cabinet that he says will get right to work solving the province's problems.
Higgs appointed 16 members to cabinet, including all four women Progressive Conservative MLAs, the party's lone francophone member as deputy premier, and a former leader of the NDP as education minister.
The members of the Higgs cabinet are:
- Robert Gauvin, deputy premier, Tourism Heritage and Culture
- Andrea Anderson-Mason, Justice and Attorney General
- Ross Wetmore, Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries
- Mary Wilson, Economic Development and Small Business
- Dominic Cardy, Education and Early Childhood Development
- Mike Holland, Energy and Resource Development
- Jeff Carr, Environment and Local Government
- Dorothy Shephard, Social Development
- Trevor Holder, Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour
- Sherry Wilson, Service New Brunswick
- Carl Urquhart, Public Safety and Solicitor General
- Jake Stewart, Aboriginal Affairs
- Ted Flemming, Health
- Bill Oliver, Transportation and Infrastructure
- Ernie Steeves, Finance
- Greg Thompson, Intergovernmental Affairs
In a speech after the swearing-in, Higgs put his cabinet on notice that he is serious about his promise to do politics differently.
"I want each of you to recall my promise, made during the throne speech debate, that we would hold ourselves to a higher standard," he told his ministers.
"When we are asked a sincere question, we will give a straight answer. When we are given a job to do, we will measure the results and share them without spin. When we make mistakes, we will humbly own them and work to do better.
"When we defend our choices, we will do so with evidence and facts, not talking points and personal attacks. And we will always remember that results, not image, are the things that will keep the New Brunswick dream alive."
CBC News
Here's what you need to know about Blaine Higgs
The swearing-in took place one week after Brian Gallant's Liberal minority government was defeated in a confidence vote. Higgs will also have to govern without a majority in the legislature.
Higgs's choice of Steeves as finance minister comes just days after he acknowledged to reporters he was tempted to keep the job for himself. Higgs was finance minister in the previous PC government from 2010 to 2014.
"I thought, 'Why couldn't I do both?'" he told reporters on Monday. "Let's just say it'll be good for me to be close to my finance minister."
Conspicuous in their absence from the new cabinet were Bruce Fitch and Bruce Northrup, who both held senior ministerial positions in the previous Tory government of David Alward.
All 4 female MLAs are ministers
One of the women appointed to cabinet, Andrea Anderson-Mason, brushed off questions about all four female PC MLAs becoming ministers.
"I'm also a lawyer," she said. "Let's not forget that. I'm happy to be here and to be a woman in a cabinet position, but I'm also happy to be here as a lawyer as well."
"Women need to be part of our democratic process," he said. "We can learn a lot from our colleagues and we need a diversification within our group to do that."
Language division
Gauvin, the MLA for Shippagan-Lamèque-Miscou, was seen as an inevitable cabinet choice after he was elected as the only PC MLA from a northern francophone riding.
He said part of his job would be to work to repair language divisions in the province.
"We have to roll up our sleeves, talk to each other, find ways to respect each other, and get the job done," he said.
Gauvin said he wasn't bothered that office-space limitations in the anterooms adjacent to the legislative chamber led the Tories to have the three People's Alliance MLAs sit with them on the government side of the house.
He said he has been urged by at least one francophone lobby group to get to know the Alliance members and better understand their opposition to some aspects of official bilingualism.
Asked if the Alliance members were making similar efforts to understand him, he said: "Not yet, because we've just started speaking. They're not monsters. We'll start from there."
Higgs also said there's no message in letting the Alliance members sit on the government side.
"I would like to spend more time on the actual messages that are real, because of what we accomplish," he said.
Many policy questions unanswered
Among the immediate issues on the government's agenda is a fix for the shortage of paramedics and nurses, legislative changes to WorkSafeNB to halt spiralling rate increases paid by employers, and a clash with Ottawa on carbon taxes.
Neither Flemming nor new attorney-general Anderson-Mason would comment on how they'll keep Higgs's promise to address the paramedic shortage and ambulance delays without running afoul of a consent order that requires bilingual service.
"Today is not the day to discuss policy," Anderson-Mason said.
Flemming said the consent order doesn't have the same weight as legal precedent but wouldn't discuss it much more than that.
"I believe the matter should be resolvable if we put the best interests of New Brunswickers first," he said.
Higgs had criticized the Liberals for making the move before there was any evidence that the previous Grade 3 entry point was hurting educational outcomes.
"Amazingly, having been sworn in less than an hour ago, I'm not going to be making policy announcements today," Cardy said.
With his cabinet in place, Higgs will aim to bring in a throne speech the week of Nov. 20. It will face a confidence vote after two weeks of debate.
The three Alliance MLAs have already said they will vote to keep the PC government in power for at least 18 months.
That gives the PCs a total of 25 votes, a bare majority to pass legislation. The Liberals have 20 seats and the Greens have three.
Speaker Daniel Guitard, elected as a Liberal, said Friday he will stay in the position for now — removing one vote from his party's benches — but will rethink if the PCs do anything that forces him to abandon his neutrality.
"The day there's something that happens that will [prevent] me from being impartial will be the day I leave," he said.
Liberals defeated last week
On Nov. 2, the house voted 25-23 for a throne speech motion amended by the PC Opposition to declare no confidence in the government.
Three People's Alliance MLAs joined the 22 PC MLAs in voting to defeat the government. Meanwhile, 20 Liberals and three Greens voted to keep it alive.
Higgs told reporters earlier that he wanted a speedy transition of power.
"Our target is still on track for what we said in terms of a quick plan, a quick move to government," he said.
"I'm excited about that."
The PCs hold 22 of 49 seats in the legislature. The three People's Alliance MLAs have said they'll vote bill-by-bill to keep the Tories in office for at least 18 months.

8 things you need to know about New Brunswick's next premier, Blaine Higgs
Several factors make Higgs one of the more unusual politicians to hold the office in recent memory
He's going to be the next premier of New Brunswick — and he'll also be one of the more unusual politicians to hold the office in recent memory.
Blaine Higgs will be sworn in as the province's new Progressive Conservative premier on Friday, an unconventional choice for the job after an unconventional election.
Here are eight things you need to know about Blaine Higgs.
1. He'll be the oldest premier of New Brunswick, ever
But that's more than just a break from the recent pattern. Higgs will be the oldest premier to take office ever — since the advent of responsible government in 1854. (Leonard Tilley, sworn in at age 63 in 1933, is the current record-holder.)
Higgs made a virtue of his age when the Liberals attacked him for having run for the leadership of the Confederation of Regions Party in 1989. Higgs was 35 at the time, the same age as Premier Brian Gallant when the negative ads were launched last year.
"I've been attacked about decisions I might have made when I was premier's age," Higgs said, "and that's why I can understand some of the decisions the premier's been making now."
2. He's from the smallest 'city' in the province
Last year Higgs estimated the year-round population of Forest City at seven people. "It survives because of the summer activity, not because of any industry or economic development," he said.
That gives him a perspective on small-town life, he said. "There are a lot of rural communities that are challenged, and kids are leaving. Let's not pretend otherwise. Let's lay it all out there and say, 'What collectively are we going to do?'"
3. He worked for the Irvings
When the Liberals used that to attack him as a pawn of big business, Higgs responded that working for Irving Oil allowed him to do what many New Brunswickers dream of.
"I would like that opportunity for anyone coming out of university, or coming out of high school … to have an opportunity to find a job and have a career right here," he said.
He has also said the Irving ethos — cost efficiency and measurable targets — would help him as premier. "I learned a lot working for that company," he said.
"It's ironic to me that someone would say because I have had broad experience throughout my career, that's not a plus to being in the middle of an $8 billion expenditure of taxpayer money."
4. He ran for the leadership of another party
Although he moved from a protest party to a mainstream one, he seems to like that the Greens and the People's Alliance are shaking up the traditional way of doing politics, a system he says he disdains.
For example, he ruled out a PC-Liberal coalition, he said, because voters "have elected two other parties that cannot and should not be shut out of this process."
5. … and not just any other party
The party Higgs wanted to lead in 1989, the Confederation of Regions, was anti-bilingualism, while the PC party he now leads lists official bilingualism as one of its key principles.
Higgs says he no longer subscribes to the COR worldview. "I believe that all New Brunswickers, French and English, have the opportunity to speak their own language and to learn another one," he said in August. "My opinion has changed over the last 30 years."
Even so, many Acadian organizations are wary about what his COR past means for his approach to language rights.
6. He's the first unilingual premier elected since 1970
Higgs's ability to overcome suspicions about his COR past will be hampered by his inability to speak French well.
The PC leader started taking lessons after he won the PC leadership and has gamely made small talk with francophones. He has also delivered two major speeches entirely in French.
CBC News
Here's what you need to know about Blaine Higgs
7. He won the party leadership despite his fellow MLAs, not because of them
Portland-Simonds MLA Trevor Holder, who supported Mel Norton, said at the time that Higgs's vocal dislike of politics was misplaced, because elected officials should respond to their constituents and communities. "When it's done right … politics is what makes things happen."
And Rothesay MLA Ted Flemming, who supported Monica Barley, took an apparent swipe at Higgs's focus on the deficit.
"New Brunswick isn't just a balance sheet," he said. "I'm from the Progressive Conservative Party. That word means something to me. That word has history."
8. He's in a hurry, but he may not be able to hurry
He's asking that proposals to address a shortage of paramedics be on his desk next week, he plans to join a legal challenge of the federal climate plan by the end of this month, and PC MLA Bruce Northrup says a moratorium on fracking could be lifted in the Sussex area before the end of the year.
The People's Alliance has promised to support him on confidence votes for 18 months, but will decide how to vote on other legislation one bill at a time.
That may make it difficult for Higgs to do all the things he feels are necessary — making him the first premier to take office in that position in a century.
