Thanks for the mute button CBC. "methinks" it is a good idea.

Jim Johnston

It's a step in the right direction that the tariffs and our forest policies are being looked at. Hopefully Higgs does not let this slide. It is an important issue financially for New Brunswickers in many ways, from those of us tax payers who are paying to have a forest industry, to woodlot owners and to those who work in the forest industry.

David Amos
Methinks all our former Finance Minister would have to do is ask about Twin Rivers Filing for
Judicial Review of SEC Rule 30e-3 then ask where is the transcript and webcast for the hearing in 2003 about the Mutual Fund Industry N'esy Pas?

@Lou Bell How do you explain our conversations on the phone?

Lou Bell "They wouldn't have a clue who you are."

Clearly you don't

This document is 15 years old but its giving Higgs, Trudeau, the RCMP, Trump and the FBI headaches today

Why did the CONs sign these asinine woodland agreements in the first place? And Higgs was part of that asinine government.

David Amos

@Marguerite Deschamps Methinks the SANB knows what the Irving Clan wants the Irving Clan gets N'esy Pas?

 
Harold Benson

Where ya gonna get the wood? They flattened er when they heard about the last election, thanks to our ex Natural Resources minister.

David Amos

@Harold Benson Private woodlots

 
Ronald Parker

End the 40,000 per month please.

David Amos

@Ronald Parker I Wholeheartedly Agree Sir

 
Freddy Rose

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when tariffs are paid by Canadian companies, don't they end up going to the US government? If yes, then the solution would be to raise the price of crown land stumpage fees so the US drops the tariffs. Sounds like win-win to me. Our government gets more money, the forest companies get access to the US market again.

But, wait. Oh, right. The "Royal Family of NB" would have to pay more and send less $$$ to Bermuda.

David Peters

@Freddy Rose

The idea is to break the monopoly so that the entire worldwide lumber market won't continue to be distorted...not to mention the damage it does to our local economy.

David Amos

@David Peters Methinks everybody knows that the Yankee Governors won't care about what Mr Higgs has to say about softwood or anything else. Most Americans think of New Brunswick as a town in New Jersey N'esy Pas?

 
Lou Bell

Where were the SANB / Liberals on this problem ? Oh, forgot , not a priority !

Rosco holt

@Lou Bell
The problem started with Alward when he gave Irving what he wanted. More access to crownland with cheap lumber. Higgs kept his mouth shut then and will probably do something that will cost NBers more while letting Irving keep his gains on access to crownlands.

Marc Martin

@Lou Bell

I didn't know the Liberals where in power ? Your idol Higgs cant handles this alone ?

David Amos

@Marc Martin Methinks the SANB, Mr Higgs and the Irving Clan all know why I ran in Fundy against Northrup N'esy Pas?

The Americans are going to charge a tariff as long as American Lumber Association has their politicians in their pockets, like the NRA , the coal industry, the steel industry, and other big business . It's all about filling their pockets and the pockets of the politicians and will never change ! It has nothing to do will supply . The tariffs help drive up the price American lumber companies can charge the consumer , nothing else ! Can call it collusion or whatever you want .

David Amos

@Lou Bell I call it GREED

 
Claude DeRoche

Once a Irving boy, always a Irving boy.

Lou Bell

@Claude DeRoche Wants to correct what the last government FAILED TO DO !! Their sole priority was to one fringe group , nothing else .

Rosco holt

@Lou Bell
Irving IS a fringe group by itself. The last government hired a lobbyist to try and negate the mess Alward's made.

David Amos

@Claude DeRoche YUP

 
Matt Steele

The Province , under various Premiers , has been giving away the wood from Crown Lands for years , and it will probably never change . When Frank McKenna was Premier ; he ordered that all Crown Land Leases be taken away from small individual lease holders , and given to the big forestry companies . The little guys tried to keep their Crown Leases , but McKenna rolled right over them like they were dirt . Even now , the stumpage rates are so low for Crown Land wood , that it has driven the small woodlot owners out of business as it costs more to cut their wood than what they can sell it for . It is understandable why the U.S. is upset over all the free wood that govt. is giving to the big forestry companies .

Lou Bell

@Matt Steele Actually , if Irving is getting a deal at 9.9 % , the small guy is out of business , then WHO is paying the huge tariff at 20.8 % ?????? Please verify !

David Peters

@Matt Steele

It sure pays to have a media monopoly here in NB, eh? The corruption and other damage caused by monopolizing NB's resources can hide in plain sight.

David Peters

@Lou Bell

From my understanding, the only sawmills left in NB are monopoly owned.

David Amos

@Matt Steele Methinks you should ask yourself why the SNB and thier Green Party buddies barred me from debating Bruce Northrup about this topic as I ran against him in the last election N'esy Pas?

 
Paul Bourgoin

Can New Brunswick Forest, Crown land, Freehold land, and Private Woodlots sustain Blaine Higgs ambitious move? Will the Wood exported be Tree length Lumber? Or board wood? Pulp Wood? Who will be the benefactors Industry with freehold wood? New Brunswick with crownland wood? The New Brunswick Private Woodlot owners with their wood? The Province has harvested approx. 80% of the protected areas, wildlife habitat also the Buffer zones reducing more than 70 % of all our wildlife populations habitat. An observation is that the time it takes a tree to grow to maturity the public’s use of the forest generates more revenue to the Province than a clear-cut forest Harvest. Management of our FISH, WILDLIFE AND HABITAT IS A MUST FOR NEW BRUNSWICK’s ECONOMY!

David Amos

@Paul Bourgoin Methinks we get the governments we deserve when apathy rules the day N'esy Pas?

 
Marc Martin

We all knew the Irving's where going ot be a priority for Higgs.

Lou Bell

@Marc Martin Actually , those paying 20.8 % are the big concern. Time to correct what the last guys couldn't do !!

Harold Benson

@Lou Bell Any relation to mar?

David Amos

@Marc Martin Methinks the SANB knows that the liberals have the same priority N'esy Pas?

 
daryl doucette

Charge the Irvings and other forestry companies exactly what the tariff amount is, instead of giving away OUR crown wood to them for free. We may as well keep the money here in NB tax coffers instead of into the USA's .

Marc Martin

@daryl doucette

Its already charged to the companies.

L C

@daryl doucette Irving and all lumber companies are already charged and paying the Duties. Changing Forest practices will never accommodate the US Lumber Coalition - they will always cry subsidization. Softwood should have been included in NAFTA so the US Lobby Group - US Lumber Coalition would no longer be able to file these false claims against Canada and have final Veto power over any decision

Rosco holt

@L C
The solution is simple just raise stumpage fees to that of market prices and the US won't see it has a subsidy anymore.

Paul Bourgoin

@L C
How do you know they were false claims?

David Amos

@L C "Softwood should have been included in NAFTA"

Methinks we should ask all of our liberal MPs why it was not N'esy Pas?

The Unconventional Candidate

David Amos Isn’t Campaigning For Your Vote, But….

By Gisele McKnight

FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."

Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.

The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from running for office in Canada.

One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail to meet Elections Canada requirements.

When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his favourite place to do so—Fundy.

Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his dissatisfaction with politicians.

"I’ve become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."

The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in 1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he needed to change his life.

"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that sometimes in midlife."

So Amos, who’d lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952 Panhead motorcycle.

David Amos

@David Amos Continued

"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact) experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask for anything, but you take what they offer."

For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs and conversation all over North America.

Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls himself.

He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."

Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.

"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said. "It’s alright to ***** in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"

David Amos

@David Amos Continued

Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.

"I didn’t appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can call me. I’m not going to drive my opinions down their throats."

And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.

"I won’t take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It’s not about money. It goes against what I’m fighting about."

What he’s fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes’ gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few.

"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I’m death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window.

NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.

"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me, especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right. Don’t necessarily vote for me, but vote."

Although…if you’re going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have your X by his name.

"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and say, ‘what the hell."








  
Rosco holt

It's simple, revoke the Alward crownland give away. Force mills to buy from private woodlot owners at market prices like it was in before big players in forestry decided to control the industry with government help.

Marc Martin

@Rosco holt

Exactly, this is exactly what is the problem they get the wood from the crown land for a fraction of the cost and then they impose the same rate to the private wood owners.

David Amos

@Marc Martin Its not rocket science

Higgs willing to change forestry plan to end U.S. tariffs

High tariffs charged on New Brunswick's softwood exports to the U.S. can't continue, says Higgs

Jacques Poitras · CBC News · Posted: Feb 14, 2019 6:00 AM AT

Premier Blaine Higgs said he's open to changing New Brunswick’s forest policies if needed. (Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian Press)

Premier Blaine Higgs has signalled he's open to changing New Brunswick's forest policies ahead of a trip to Washington later this month, where he hopes to bend the ears of key U.S. policy-makers.

The Progressive Conservative premier will use a trip to the National Governors' Association meetings to advance his goal of restoring the province's traditional exemption from softwood lumber duties.

"If we don't have a fair marketplace, we will fix it," Higgs told reporters this week.

He says he's even willing to meet with the powerful coalition of U.S. lumber companies that is responsible for the punishing tariffs.

"I'll meet with anybody and talk to anybody about anything," he said. "This is an issue that is very significant to us."

Waiting for review

The government is awaiting a review that will examine whether two reports by two New Brunswick auditors general, in 2008 and 2015, were correct in their criticisms of provincial forestry policy.

Higgs will travel to Washington, where he hopes to advance his goal of restoring the province’s traditional exemption from softwood lumber duties.

Those reports were used by the American industry as ammunition in their push to take away the province's tariff exemption.

Higgs says if the review finds that the audits' conclusions were justified, he'll change policy accordingly.

• Irving blames softwood lumber duties for stalling Doaktown mill upgrade

• Gallant takes free trade, softwood lumber arguments to Washington

• 'It's gonna be painful': New Brunswick braces for new softwood lumber tariffs

"I want to know what we need to do to make this right," he said. "So if it comes back and says 'this is an issue,' we will deal with it."

And if that means changes to the previous Progressive Conservative government's 2014 forestry plan — with its long-term, legally binding contracts with major forest companies — Higgs says he'll be willing to go there, too.

He said the high tariffs now charged on New Brunswick softwood exports to the U.S.— 20.8 percent for most companies, and 9.9 percent for J.D. Irving Ltd.— can't continue.

'We must fix it'

"The justification to do something differently is pretty, pretty strong," he said. "We have the situation over here that's not working, and if we find a way to fix it, we must fix it."

The government is awaiting a review of reports by two New Brunswick auditors general, in 2008 and 2015, that will assess whether they were correct in their criticisms of provincial forestry policy. (Glen Kugelstadt/CBC)

In 2017, Washington imposed new duties on Canadian lumber. Atlantic Canada had been exempt from those measures in the past because softwood was deemed to be not subsidized at a high level.

But New Brunswick lost that exemption after the U.S. lumber coalition argued that wood from provincial Crown land, which it considers subsidized, was becoming a larger share of the provincial market.

The coalition also predicted that the 2014 PC forestry plan would result in "an even higher share" of New Brunswick wood from Crown land in the future.

The U.S. Commerce Department said in its 2017 ruling that "private woodlot owners accounted for a much smaller share of the New Brunswick stumpage market than the government," and that amounted to a distortion of the market.

Tariffs challenged

The federal government has challenged the new tariffs under both the North American Free Trade Agreement and the World Trade Organization.

New Brunswick producers are now in the midst of two different reviews of the U.S. findings and the tariff levels.

• New Brunswick odd man out in potential Atlantic softwood reprieve

• Forestry changes in 2014 made New Brunswick lumber a target in U.S.

• Softwood border duties could hurt 25 N.B. sawmills, government says

The 2017 finding by the Department of Commerce pointed to the 2008 audit by Auditor General Mike Ferguson, which found the New Brunswick market was "not truly an open market" because the small number of mills dominating the market suppressed the prices paid to private woodlots.

Ferguson's successor, Kim MacPherson, found in a 2015 audit that the province wasn't properly monitoring the share of Crown wood relative to private wood in the market — the "proportional supply" requirement that she said had not been respected since 2002.

No distortion in the market

MacPherson's most recent report last month said 13 of her 19 recommendations on forestry have been implemented.

Mike Legere, executive director of Forest NB, said the auditors generals' reports are inaccurate. (Rachel Cave/CBC)

Mike Legere, the executive director of the industry group Forest NB, has called the audits inaccurate.

"If there's irrefutable evidence of distortion of the market, it has to be corrected," he said. "[But] we're quite confident there isn't distortion in the market."

Legere said his organization estimates the tariffs have cost provincial mills $130 million since 2017.

He said most mills were able to weather the higher cost of exporting to the U.S. "fairly well" in 2018 because lumber prices were high, peaking in June.

Mills face uncertainty

But some of them came close to closing before Christmas as prices dropped. A recent bottoming-out of prices is all that saved those mills from shutting down, he said.

"It's a very nervous, uncertain time to be operating a sawmill in New Brunswick," he said. "We're really at the mercy of elements that are beyond our control."

Most mills in the province have been able to weather the higher cost of exporting to the U.S. 'fairly well' in 2018 because lumber prices were high, Legere said. (Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian Press)

Legere said he wasn't sure whether a meeting between Higgs and the U.S. industry coalition would yield any results.

"I'm sure Mr. Higgs wants the coalition to be aware the iron is still hot in the fire. I'm not sure what new information he could bring them."

Higgs said he will also meet with former U.S. ambassador to Canada David Wilkins, an influential former Republican politician hired by the previous Liberal government to lobby the Trump administration and members of Congress.

Wilkins has been earning $40,000 a month, a figure the Gallant Liberals justified by pointing to the meetings he was able to arrange with key power brokers in Washington.

In Opposition, the PCs said it was a large expense with few results. Higgs said he'll meet with Wilkins to decide whether to keep him on retainer.

"I want to see what the plan is: what's been accomplished, what's the goal, and what is he doing right now?" he said.

Methinks all our former Finance Minister would have to do is ask about
Twin Rivers Filing for
Judicial Review of SEC Rule 30e-3 then ask where is the transcript and
webcast for the hearing in 2003 about the Mutual Fund Industry N'esy
Pas?


https://www.banking.senate.gov/hearings/review-of-current-investigations-and-regulatory-actions-regarding-the-mutual-fund-industry


November 20, 2003

The Committee will meet in OPEN SESSION to conduct the second in a
series of hearings on the

Mutual Fund Industry.”

Witnesses

Mr. Stephen M. Cutler
Director - Division of Enforcement
Securities and Exchange Commission

Mr. Robert Glauber
Chairman and CEO
National Association of Securities Dealers

Eliot Spitzer
Attorney General
State of New York






David Amos
I know for a fact that if Mr Higgs had the sand to print this document
and took it to Washington many Yankees would figure out where New
Brunswick is in a heartbeat

https://www.scribd.com/doc/2718120/integrity-yea-right




David Amos
Trust that I informed Mr Higgs and David Wilkins the former Yankee
Ambassador to Canada that I began shaking a lot of trees in Washington
as soon as I read this article this morning



Lou Bell
@David Amos They wouldn't have a clue who you are.



David Amos
@Lou Bell How do you explain our conversations on the phone?




David Amos
Lou Bell "They wouldn't have a clue who you are."

Clearly you don't

This document is 15 years old but its giving Higgs, Trudeau, the RCMP,
Trump and the FBI headaches today

https://www.scribd.com/document/2619437/CROSS-BORDER




daryl doucette
Charge the Irvings and other forestry companies exactly what the
tariff amount is, instead of giving away OUR crown wood to them for
free. We may as well keep the money here in NB tax coffers instead of
into the USA's .



Marc Martin
@daryl doucette
Its already charged to the companies.



L C
@daryl doucette Irving and all lumber companies are already charged
and paying the Duties. Changing Forest practices will never
accommodate the US Lumber Coalition - they will always cry
subsidization. Softwood should have been included in NAFTA so the US
Lobby Group - US Lumber Coalition would no longer be able to file
these false claims against Canada and have final Veto power over any
decision



Rosco holt
@L C

The solution is simple just raise stumpage fees to that of market
prices and the US won't see it has a subsidy anymore.



Paul Bourgoin
@L C

How do you know they were false claims?



David Amos
@L C "Softwood should have been included in NAFTA"

Methinks we should ask all of our liberal MPs why it was not N'esy Pas?

@daryl doucette Methinks Mr Higgs must have read this in the Irving
news rag as I ran against his buddy Rob Moore in 2004 N'esy Pas?

The Unconventional Candidate

David Amos Isn’t Campaigning For Your Vote, But….

By Gisele McKnight

FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his
wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone
that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."

Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.

The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife
and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from
running for office in Canada.

One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail
to meet Elections Canada requirements.

When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his
favourite place to do so—Fundy.

Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his
dissatisfaction with politicians.

"I’ve become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he
said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."

The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in
1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he
needed to change his life.

"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that
sometimes in midlife."

So Amos, who’d lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners
motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952
Panhead motorcycle.

@David Amos Continued

"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact)
experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you
renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask
for anything, but you take what they offer."

For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs
and conversation all over North America.

Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son
and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls
himself.

He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist
rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed
individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud
Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."

Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.

"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said.
"It’s alright to ***** in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"



David Amos
@David Amos Continued

Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.

"I didn’t appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door
interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can
call me. I’m not going to drive my opinions down their throats."

And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.

"I won’t take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It’s
not about money. It goes against what I’m fighting about."

What he’s fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood,
the exploitation of the Maritimes’ gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to
name a few.

"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing,
farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I’m
death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it
(NAFTA) out the window.

NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an
easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.

"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me,
especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right.
Don’t necessarily vote for me, but vote."

Although…if you’re going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have
your X by his name.

"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and
say, ‘what the hell."

>> Twin Rivers Leads Business and Consumer Organizations in Filing for
>> Judicial Review of SEC Rule 30e-3
>>
>> Madawaska, ME (August 3, 2018) – Earlier today, Twin Rivers Paper
>> Company filed a petition for review in federal court, along with a
>> broad and diverse group of concerned parties, challenging the recently
>> finalized SEC rule (30e-3).  The new rule reverses existing practice
>> and will force investors who wish to continue receiving paper-based
>> shareholder reports to take affirmative steps to preserve that
>> ability. The petition challenges the final rule as arbitrary,
>> capricious, and not otherwise in accordance with law.  It flies in the
>> face of investor preferences, limits access to information,
>> particularly for the elderly, less affluent, and rural communities
>> without access to broadband internet, and runs counter to
>> recommendations from the Commission’s own Investment Advisory
>> Committee to address critical shortcomings in the rule. Groups joining
>> the petition include Consumer Action, American Forest & Paper
>> Association, the Coalition for Paper Options, and Printing Industries
>> Alliance.
>> We believe the rule limits access to information and harms the elderly
>> and needy.
>>
>> “The current dual system of information delivery works. It effectively
>> combines print with electronic options and ensures efficient and
>> effective access to information.” Stated Ken Winterhalter, President
>> of Twin Rivers, “The changes indicated in this rule represent a step
>>
>> Paper-based statements should be an option for all consumers.
>>
>> backward and fail to address a wide range of shortcomings that will
>> make it more difficult for vulnerable demographic groups to access
>> critical investor information.”
>>
>>    The SEC has found a solution in search of a problem. The
>> Commission states the purpose of the rule is to permit electronic
>> delivery of fund shareholder reports, while maintaining the ability of
>> shareholders who prefer paper to receive reports in that form. The
>> current system already allows for electronic delivery where investors
>> prefer, an option that has been in place for over a decade.
>>    The SEC rule is inherently unfair. The SEC rule will allow mutual
>> funds to stop mailing printed reports to shareholders if a shareholder
>> does not respond to the notice by applying a fictitious theory of
>> “implied consent.” Said another way, if after the shareholder receives
>> the notice but does not respond, the shareholder will be deemed to
>> have provided “implied consent” to stop mail delivery of reports. The
>> proposed “implied consent” to E-delivery ignores studies indicating
>> that investors prefer printed communications to electronic versions
>> and constitutes an unnecessary regulatory intervention.
>>    92% of the public comments submitted to the SEC were in opposition
>> to the proposed rule. The proposed rule will undoubtedly make it more
>> difficult for mutual fund shareholders, especially the elderly, rural
>> and lower-income groups, to access important information as it is
>> extremely confusing…and ironically, does nothing to improve
>> disclosure. The SEC’s own investigation determined a significant

>> Meet the gatekeeper to the National Governors Association
>> By Reid Wilson - 02/21/18 06:00 AM EST
>>
>> When the nation’s governors meet this weekend in Washington, Scott
>> Pattison will be their gatekeeper.
>>
>> In his third year as head of the National Governors Association (NGA),
>> Pattison has launched a new initiative aimed at attracting a more
>> international audience to the annual gathering. This year, governors
>> will hear from Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Nana
>> Akufo-Addo, the president of Ghana.
>>
>> Pattison sat down with The Hill to talk about the importance of
>> state-international relationships, the NGA’s new innovation focus and
>> the hot topics governors are talking about. What follows is a lightly
>> edited transcript.
>>
>> This year’s NGA meeting has an international flavor. Why is that?
>>
>> Pattison: The governors for a while have been telling me that they do
>> so much in terms of economic development, and a lot of that involves
>> international interaction. You can’t really name a state without some
>> major foreign investment that creates jobs. Because of that, it’s a
>> great opportunity now for NGA, as part of the many things that we do
>> as an association of the governors, to provide them with the ability
>> to interact with colleagues or folks from other countries, whether
>> it’s business or ambassadors. The more they’re getting to know each
>> other and have this interaction, the governors think it’s really
>> beneficial for their economic development, for encouraging more
>> investment and trade that benefits the residents of their states.
>>
>> Why do foreign leaders want to interact with a governor?
>>
>> Pattison: There’s no question that the federal government obviously is
>> critically important, but the governors also have such a key role in
>> economic development in their state. Internationally, over the years,
>> they realize, “Oh, we’ve got to engage the governor.” Because they’re
>> going to have the role and the influence and decision-making authority
>> as to whether a plant can be expanded, whether or not the community
>> colleges are going to offer the types of classes that involve the
>> skills they want.
>>
>> They really want to engage sub-nationally. The governors want that
>> interaction, and sub-national is really important to these companies.
>>
>> What’s the state of the state–federal relationship right now?
>>
>> Pattison: It’s good, but it’s different. What I’m seeing is a lot of
>> interaction between the federal government and governors. What I’m
>> seeing is a lot of talking, sharing of information.
>>
>> How is it different from the Obama years?
>>
>> Pattison: I sense that there seems to be more of an interest,
>> particularly at the federal level, to make sure that they’re engaging
>> and hearing from their governors. And that’s a really positive thing.
>> There’s probably more behind-the-scenes talking, and I’m not sure
>> that’s a bad thing.
>>
>> Tax reform was the administration’s big first-year success. How is
>> that changing state priorities?
>>
>> Pattison: What I hear governors say is they’re in the process of
>> trying to forecast what kind of impact it will be for them. They’ve
>> told me that what they need to do is to be able to forecast short term
>> and long term. Last time, in ’86, you saw a big short-term bump for a
>> lot of states, but then it kind of flattened. They don’t want to have
>> a one-time only benefit.
>>
>> What else are governors talking about? What’s the new hot trend?
>>
>> Pattison: Health care continues to be a big issue, but not necessarily
>> just [the Affordable Care Act]. For governors, health care involves so
>> many aspects of price, concerns about access, premium charges for
>> different residents. For them, it’s a lot bigger than the ACA.
>>
>> On infrastructure, there continues to be a concern about how do we
>> shape something that’s a true federal–state partnership that involves
>> sufficient resources to maintain and build infrastructure.
>>
>> You just launched NGA Future, a new initiative on innovation. What’s its
>> goal?
>>
>> Pattison: Since we’re the association of all the governors, we want to
>> be the group that’s giving them a heads-up of the type of technology
>> that’s really going to have a major impact on states, two years, five
>> years, within their four- to eight-year terms. I think it’s going to
>> be really exciting to be talking about, OK, looks like autonomous
>> vehicles are coming down the pike — is that a pun?  — and how should
>> you deal with that?
>>
>> One of the areas you’re starting to hear about, and I think governors
>> are interested in, is more and more data. You can pretty much
>> pinpoint, not necessarily in real time but pretty close, Tamiflu
>> prescriptions through Medicaid and health insurance. So you can say
>> the amount of Tamiflu prescriptions in this county has shot through
>> the roof, but it’s not happening elsewhere. So you can swoop down in
>> that county and try to isolate the flu. There are so many innovative
>> things technologically that we want governors and government more
>> generally to think about — how can you use this to be more efficient,
>> to save money?

>>
>> June 8, 2016
>>
>> Fredericton – Mike Legere, Executive Director of Forest NB, offered
>> the following comment regarding Premier Brian Gallant’s cabinet
>> shuffle.
>>
>> “On behalf of the member companies of Forest NB, I would like to
>> extend our gratitude to Minister Landry in taking a?prudent approach
>> to moving the proposed Crown land forest strategy to realization. We
>> think he has represented the interests of New Brunswickers very well
>> in his capacity as Minister of Natural Resources,” Legere said.
>>
>> Legere added, “Forest NB is confident that Landry’s successor, the
>> Hon.?Rick Doucet?will move to support the full?adoption of the forest
>> management strategy whose benefits have already been realized. Over
>> 500 jobs have been created with investments of over $500 million
>> including a recent $12 million investment by Twin Rivers Paper this
>> week in their Madawaska operation.”
>>
>> It was encouraging at a recent Opportunities Summit held by the
>> provincial government to hear Mr. Doucet, the former minister of
>> Economic Development, speak of business productivity and innovation
>> including the forest industry in the province.
>>
>> “The forestry sector in New Brunswick punches well above its weight
>> when it comes to forest management. In New Brunswick, our
>> managed?Forests, on a per hectare basis, annually out-produce the
>> national average by almost three times in terms of growth and yield.
>> This is a solid example of our natural competitive advantage in forest
>> renewal and the knowledge based resources that work behind the scenes
>> to keep us competitive,” Legere said.
>>
>> Legere also notes that Forest NB is pleased to see Minister Donald
>> Arsenault, who is responsible for Madawaska-Restigouche, take charge
>> of the Intergovernmental Affairs?portfolio.
>>
>> “Mr. Arsenault is an able and experienced minister who we believe can
>> advocate on behalf of all concerned New Brunswickers?as we seek
>> federal support for increased investment in New Brunswick forests,
>> particularly in silviculture,” Legere said. “We believe this will help
>> stage New Brunswick’s long term contribution to climate change by
>> sequestering more carbon emissions in our forests. The additional
>> benefit of?investment in silviculture would?be the immediate creation
>> of some three hundred silviculture related jobs and securing existing
>> employment.”

>>
>> The former logger, known around the legislature for his plainspoken
>> manner, said he was looking forward to the challenge.
>>
>> "I've never been afraid of work. I enjoy hard work."
>>
>> Although he'll hold the leadership for only a short time, Landry would

>>
>> "That's something we'll have to figure out. We'll go through the
>> session … and from there we'll see what happens. It's hard for me to
>> predict what's going to happen. The budget could be so good or so bad.
>> We'll have to decide as a caucus what we're going to do."
>> Former New Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant resigned officially as
>> leader of the Liberal Party on Tuesday. (James West/The Canadian
>> Press)
>>
>> He said his biggest concerns about the March 19 budget are potential
>> cuts. He pointed to more than $200 million in cancelled infrastructure
>> spending in the PC capital budget delivered in December.
>>
>> "Is there a need to do that? As far as I'm concerned, no," he said,
>> noting the Liberal government ran a $67 million surplus in 2017-18.
>>
>> "The finances of the province were not doing that bad."
>>
>> The Liberals have 20 seats in the legislature compared with 22 for the
>> PCs. Speaker Daniel Guitard was elected as a Liberal but does not vote

>>
>> Landry said while he agrees most often with the Greens, "I'm not
>> scared of working with the Alliance or even collaborating with the
>> Tories" to make the legislature function.
>>
>>    Brian Gallant moves up departure from helm of Liberal Party
>>
>> Landry was chosen by party MLAs in a closed-door vote Tuesday morning.
>> He said the caucus decided not to reveal who else sought the interim
>> leadership or how many votes each candidate won.
>>
>> Landry was defeated in the 2003 provincial election but was re-elected
>> in 2006 and has been an MLA ever since. He was a minister in the

>>
>> After imposing a 20 per cent countervailing tariff on Canadian
