experiencing service problems a month earlier. (Serge Bouchard/Radio-Canada)
Four
months after he was fired by UNI Financial Cooperation, former CEO
Robert Moreau is filing a lawsuit claiming wrongful dismissal.
In
a notice of suit filed this week in the Court of King's Bench in
Bathurst, Moreau says that he was fired in a "humiliating manner," and
that UNI destroyed his reputation.
Moreau is asking for
damages and interest equal to the amount he would have received had he
been fired without cause, as well as punitive and other damages.

transition to a new online platform in the summer, thousands of UNI
Financial Cooperation customers were unable to access their bank
accounts online, pay bills, get paid or transfer money. (Patrick-Lacelle/Radio-Canada)
None of Moreau's allegations have been tested in court.
Moreau and his lawyer, Joël Michaud, declined a request by Radio-Canada for comment. UNI also declined to comment.
Moreau's
statement of claim says that after weeks of turmoil, Louis Léger,
Premier Blaine Higgs's former chief of staff, invited him to a meeting
on Aug. 15 with a few days' notice.
Disputes details of transition
At the meeting, Léger handed Moreau a letter informing him that UNI was terminating his employment for cause.
The claim says the letter was signed by Pierre-Marcel Desjardins on behalf of the UNI board of directors.
"The
letter criticizes Mr. Moreau, among other things, for having launched
the transition hastily, while in reality the launch of the project had
already been delayed due to technical problems at the request of UNI's
partners," says the notice of suit. "The launch on July 6, 2023 enjoyed
the approval of the council chaired by Mr. Desjardins."
Moreau
says his employment contract allowed the UNI board of directors to
replace him as CEO, but he alleges UNI "violated the contract by
dismissing him with cause when no just and sufficient cause existed."
Moreau says the manner of his firing has damaged his reputation. (Zoom/CBC)
He
says that by doing so, the institution damaged his reputation by
leading the public to believe he was solely responsible for the chaotic
transition to the new platform.
Moreau also says that
by choosing to terminate his employment on National Acadian Day, "the
board of directors acted in an implacable and humiliating manner."
Moreau remains adamant he was not solely responsible for the planning of the transition to the new technology
He says UNI made the decisions a few years ago to change technology suppliers and distance itself from the Desjardins Group.
Preparations
began in June 2020, led by a steering committee and several
subcommittees, including "very senior" employees, external consultants
and representatives of service providers.
Moreau says the UNI board of directors would regularly receive and adopt reports on the progress of the transition project.
He was only notified of major technical issues related to the project after it launched on July 10, his notice says.
"Moreau's statement of claim says that after weeks of
turmoil, Louis Léger, Premier Blaine Higgs's former chief of staff,
invited him to a meeting on Aug. 15 with a few days' notice.
At the meeting, Léger handed Moreau a letter informing him that UNI was terminating his employment for cause.

Schools to reopen Monday after province, CUPE reach tentative agreement
Schools moved to online learning on Nov. 1 after province locked out
striking education workers
Miriam Lafontaine · CBC News · Posted: Nov 14, 2021 12:08 PM AT
CUPE workers are shown striking in Fredericton on Oct. 31. New
Brunswick reached a tentative deal with the union on Saturday;
students are expected to return to classrooms in the coming days.
(Mrinali Anchan/CBC)
Schools in New Brunswick will reopen on Monday after the provincial
government reached a tentative agreement with the Canadian Union of
Public Employees late Saturday.
"I know that the last couple of weeks have been challenging for
students and parents," Premier Blaine Higgs said in a press conference
Sunday. "There's no replacement for in-classroom learning."
More than 22,000 public sector workers are now expected to return to
work after being on strike for more than two weeks.
Tentative agreements were reached Saturday night with seven of the
union's locals, Higgs said.
Schools closed on Oct. 29 and moved to online learning after about
3,000 workers that included custodians, bus drivers, school library
assistants and administrative support went on strike.
Community colleges, where CUPE workers are also employed, are expected
to reopen to students on Tuesday.
N.B. government locks out 3,000 CUPE workers as strike enters Day 3
"I'm optimistic," Higgs added. "I really believe people want to get
back to work."
Higgs declined to comment on contract terms.
CUPE New Brunswick president Steve Drost said negotiations over the
past few days have been painful and tedious, but he's excited to
present it to workers after everything they went through.
"Both sides were able to make compromises in the best interest of the
province," he said.
The new wage offer will allow workers to keep up with cost of living
in the province, he said. The 10 locals involved in strike action will
be voting this week, with votes expected to wrap up by Friday.

conference last weekend. He described the negotiations as 'painful and
tedious.' (CBC)
"I think that we've been able to achieve labour peace for New
Brunswick. I'm very confident that we've made some historic gains here
for workers," Drost said. "I couldn't be prouder of the workers."
Both parties have also reached an agreement regarding pension plans
that were being offered to locals 2745 and 1253, Drost said.

invokes emergency order
CUPE takes province to court over back-to-work emergency order
Previously the premier had been demanding the locals convert their
pension plans into the shared-risk system already in place for most
other provincial employees, a major sticking point in the labour
dispute.
"We were able to achieve language in terms of a memorandum of
understanding on that, whereby it's not necessarily a conversion to
shared risk," Drost said.
A union led court challenge regarding the back to work order that
forced more than 2,000 health-care workers back to work on Nov. 6
scheduled for Monday is still going ahead, he said. The premier has
since confirmed the order has been revoked.
"We have to ensure that people's rights weren't violated," Drost said.
N.B. Liquor stores staying open
A tentative agreement between the province and the local representing
workers with N.B. Liquor was also reached Saturday evening, its
president said.
The workers previously were set to take strike action by Tuesday if a
deal couldn't be reached over the weekend, which would have shuttered
stores.
Jamie Agnew, the president of Local 963, at a press conference last
Tuesday, said the negotiating team is 'very happy' to have reached a
tentative agreement for N.B Liquor workers. (Ed Hunter/CBC)
"The negotiating team is very happy. We're glad to have this done,"
said Jamie Agnew, the president of Local 963.
He wants the public to know there's no need to panic buy. Provincewide
sales reached $2 million on the Wednesday before Remembrance Day, he
said, well over projections of around $500,000.
N.B. Liquor employees poised to strike a week from now if deal not reached
A prior tentative agreement had been reached between the union and
management a year ago.
"We thought we had a tentative agreement in November of 2020, but that
was squashed by Mr. Higgs, so we had to go through this process again,
and ended up taking a strike vote," Agnew said.

Michaud, a lawyer for CUPEs, says the union is waiting for the result
of the public-sector workers' vote on a tentative agreement before
deciding what to do about the lawsuit filed against the province. (Shane Magee/CBC)
The
Canadian Union of Public Employees is not abandoning its court
challenge of the province's use of emergency legislation to force
striking health-care staff back to work.
CUPE had asked for an emergency hearing Monday to put a pause on the emergency order while its legality was decided.
But because
staff went back to work after negotiators reached a tentative agreement
over the weekend, the emergency hearing was adjourned.
Union lawyer Joël Michaud said that while the emergency hearing is cancelled, the legal challenge is still on.
"It's
certainly on, at least until ratification," he said. "If the
hospital-sector's members don't ratify, then we're right back to square
one."
On
Sunday, CUPE and the province separately announced a temporary end to
the two-week strike by 22,000 public-sector employees, including school
bus drivers, educational support staff and workers in transportation,
corrections and the community college system.
The employees will
vote on a tentative agreement with the government this week and decide
Friday if the strike is over or if they will go back on the picket
lines.
Health-care workers out for a shorter time
Some
support staff in the health-care sector were part of the strike for
a week but were ordered back to work by the province on Nov. 7.
Attorney
General Ted Flemming imposed an emergency order that said if any of
them continued to strike, they could face thousands of dollars in fines.
And the "employee organization" they're a member of would be fined a
minimum of $100,000, with no maximum limit, for each day they don't
comply.
In its challenge, CUPE alleged the order contravened the
workers' right to freedom of association and to belong to a certain
organization. They also alleged the fines exceeded what's allowed
through the Emergency Measures Act, and constitutes "cruel and unusual
punishment," which also contravenes the Charter or Rights.
Michaud
said that even if the agreement is accepted, the union may continue the
challenge to get clarity on whether using the province's Emergency
Measures Act to stop a strike is legal in general.
"There may be,
you know, long-term utility in having a decision for all parties
involved, frankly, for government as well," Michaud said. "There could
be … a pretty clear statement of the court as to whether or not acting
this way was legal.
Or the union could abandon the challenge, Michaud said. The union has yet to decide what to do.
Even if CUPE wants to go ahead, Michaud said, the court could decide that the issue is moot if the order is permanently lifted.
"Moreau and his lawyer, Joël Michaud, declined a request
by Radio-Canada for comment. UNI also declined to comment."

What would the deciding factor be: Ratification

There needs to be consequences. It is separate from any agreement and
should be dealt with in that manner. Is the membership going to turn
down a deal on this issue. It should not be part of any vote. Some will
be faced with the same scenario in 16 months otherwise.

Changes to New Brunswick information law 'an alarm bell,' critics say
Amendments give minister power to apply different rules in different
circumstances
Jacques Poitras · CBC News · Posted: Nov 17, 2021 6:00 AM AT
Treasury Board Minister Ernie Steeves says a proposed change in New
Brunswick's right-to-information law would speed up the process, but
some say it gives too much power to his office to decide how requests
are processed. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
The Higgs government is giving itself the power to direct how
departments and other public bodies process requests for documents and
records, including the ability to apply different rules depending on
the circumstances.
Treasury Board Minister Ernie Steeves describes the proposed
amendments to the Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act
as making the process more efficient.
He said they will address "gaps, unclear wording and overly complex
procedures" to help speed up the process of responding to the public's
requests for information.
But the bill will also give him the authority to tell government
departments and other public bodies covered by the law, such as
municipalities, how to process requests.
The bill lets a Treasury Board minister "establish directives and
guidelines setting out the requirements to be met" by the entities
fielding requests.
What's more, it lets the minister decide if a directive is "general or
specific" and lets him or her decide whether the rules "may apply
differently in different circumstances."
This version of a briefing note released by FacilicorpNB to a lobby
group is heavily blacked out. The same document released earlier by
the Department of Health to CBC News did not contain the same
redactions. (CBC)
That's "an alarm bell," according to retired CBC journalist Dean
Beeby, an expert in access-to-information laws.
"When unspecified power and responsibilities are being given to a
senior official of government, it can be so easily abused," Beeby
said.
"Why are there no guardrails on this? Why is it so open-ended?"
Ombud Charles Murray said letting the minister apply different rules
of disclosure in different situations creates a risk.
"The risk is that the minister will make arbitrary decisions or will
be suspected of making arbitrary decisions," said Murray, who fields
complaints from the public when the province doesn't provide what's
been requested.
"To me, this amendment suggests that the minister be given more leeway
to make those decisions as he or she feels fit."
Retired CBC journalist Dean Beeby calls the decision to give
unspecified powers to the Treasury Board minister 'an alarm bell.'
(CBC)
The act is used by journalists, watchdog groups, opposition parties
and other citizens to request government documents.
But the legislation is full of exemptions and procedures that often
slow down or prevent release of what's being sought.
Steeves said the amendment is there to clarify the process for
departments and other public bodies and speed up release, not to
further restrict information.
"It's not like the minister can take the information and say 'No, you
can't do this,'" he said.
The province's chief information officer, Liz Byrne-Zwicker, said the
minister doesn't have the legal authority to provide guidance or
directives under the existing law. But some other public bodies
covered by the act, like municipalities, can benefit from that help.
"We would be responding to what they tell us is going to make sense
and work best for them," she said.
"The intention here is to bring consistency to interpretation and the
way things are done as much as possible."
For example, that could include clarifying what is meant by a
duplicate document under the act, she said. Under the amendments,
duplicate copies of the same document no longer have to be released.
No protection from abuse
Beeby said there's no long-term guarantee future ministers won't use
the new section of the act to slow the release of controversial
information.
"With all the goodwill in the world, maybe this minister will not
abuse that power, but there are future governments that may have a
different view."
Murray said a more efficient right-to-information system is not an end
in itself.
"The most efficient right to information system possible would be one
that gave people no right to information," he said.

Access delayed, access denied: Here's why P.E.I's information
system is broken
This MLA obtained 1,150 pages about N.B.'s airport study. All but
100 were blacked out
"So we have to recognize that efficiency isn't the only value here."
And he said the risk in giving a minister more discretion is that the
public will lose trust in the government when information is held
back.
"Public trust, we are finding out in this pandemic, is one of the key
determinants of how effective your anti-pandemic measures will be. If
you're not trusted, the measures won't be accepted by the populace and
they won't be effective."
The bill received second reading in the legislature on Nov. 12 and was
sent to a committee for more debate.
Charles Murray, New Brunswick’s ombud and information and privacy
commissioner, says the change creates the risk that the minister could
make arbitrary decisions on right-to-information requests. (Nicolas
Steinbach/Radio-Canada)
Murray said in the past, a bill like this would have gone to the law
amendments committee for public hearings where witnesses like him
could appear.
But the government opted to send the bill to the economic policy
committee instead, the clearing-house for most government legislation
with no public hearings and witnesses.
During the second reading debate last week, Opposition MLAs said the
bill was the latest effort to erode the public's right to information.
"Every government since I can recall, since the introduction of our
right-to-information legislation, has chipped away at this act and
diminished people's right to information," said Green Party Leader
David Coon, who's been using the act for almost four decades.
Liberal MLAs pointed out that one of their members, Bathurst
West-Beresford's René Legacy, received 1,150 pages of documents on a
provincial airport study but 1,050 of those pages were redacted.
"It's a wonder if there are any black markers left in the department,"
said Liberal Treasury Board critic Rob McKee.
Green Party Leader David Coon, who has been making
right-to-information requests for decades, says successive governments
have chipped away at the act over the years. (Ed Hunter/CBC)
Other elements of the bill appear to be benign attempts to make the
process work better, such as clarifying that a department no longer
has to send multiple copies of the same document.
If someone makes a request to the wrong department, that department
will now have the legal authority to transfer it to the appropriate
department rather than telling the requestor to start over themselves.
But other sections will let the government extend or suspend the
normal 30-day time limit for responding to a request when a third
party has to be consulted on releasing information about them.
Byrne-Zwicker said third parties, such as private companies
communicating with the province, have rights under the act and the new
provisions will help protect those rights.
Beeby said long delays lead to information being released long after
it's timely or relevant.
"There's a tendency to drag these things out as long as possible," he
said. "We don't want to hear about problems two governments down the
line. We need to hear about them now, while they can still be
corrected."

Bill 39 Keeps the Politics in NB Power
Posted by Merredith Brewer 341sc on May 22, 2013
22 MAY 2013
Bill 39, the proposed new Electricity Act, was debated yesterday in
the Legislature during second reading. The Green Party says the debate
overlooked the key problem with Bill 39. It fails to keep the politics
out of NB Power.
"Energy Minister Craig Leonard claims that Bill 39 will ensure that NB
Power will operate like a business, free from political interference,
but nothing could be further from the truth," said Green party
leader David Coon. "The dirty little secret is that Cabinet will still
be in the driver's seat when it comes to determining the most
important costs associated with running the electrical utility, and
the costs determine the price of electricity," said Coon.
Unlike provinces such as Nova Scotia, Bill 39 requires NB Power to
have its business plan, the Integrated Resource Plan, reviewed and
approved by the provincial cabinet every three years rather than by
the Energy and Utilities Board (EUB). Furthermore, while proposals for
costly refurbishments or new power plants will be reviewed by the EUB,
Cabinet retains the authority to make the final decision.
"Bill 39 gives Cabinet a direct role in approving NB Power
expenditures, which determine the price the utility must charge for
its electricity," said Coon. "Bill 39 keeps the politics in NB Power
which is why the Green Party has been demanding it be sent to
committee for public hearings," said the Green Party leader.

IN THE MATTER OF an application by New Brunswick Power Corporation

CHAIRMAN: Good afternoon, everyone. Bonjour. Before we get
started with today’s session, I want to point out that translation
devices are available at the back of the room so if anybody needs one,
please take this opportunity to secure one. All right.
Welcome to today’s special session of the New Brunswick Energy and
Utilities Board. All members of the Energy and Utilities Board are
present today, including Vice-Chair, Francois Beaulieu, and Members,
Michael Costello, Patrick Ervin and John Herron.
Today’s public session will deal with Matter 430, which is NB Power’s
2019-2020 General Rate Application. In that application, NB Power is
seeking Board approval for, amongst other things, an average increase
in rates of 2.5 percent with some customers receiving an increase as
high as 2.9 percent.
This session of the rate hearing won’t follow the same format
as we typically use at the formal hearing which will commence in about
10 days. Today’s session is intended to be much less formal so
despite the fact that we are sitting here on the dais and in the front
of the room and everybody seems to have a jacket and tie on, you
shouldn’t take that to mean that we are requiring any formality today.
And the reason that I wanted to emphasize that informality is that we
really want to encourage members of the general public to come to the
session and provide their views on these rate applications. Many
people don’t have the time or the resources to present evidence before
the Board but still have important contributions to make to the
process. I want to assure you that your comments are taken seriously
by the Board.
I want to also point out that NB Power is represented here today over
in the right-hand side of the room and although they will not be
making a presentation today, they will be available to hear your
concerns and to discuss them further following the conclusion of the
presentations.
Our Public Intervener, Heather Black, is also present and will be
available to discuss any public interest concerns that you may have
following today’s presentations.
In addition, we have several members from the Energy and Utilities
Board Staff who are also available to discuss matters with you.
Each presenter today has been allocated 15 minutes to make his
or her presentation and before we start with the presentations, I am
going to invite Mr. Beaulieu to say a few words in French.
CHAIRMAN: Thank you very much. Thank you very much, Mr. Shaw. I
think that is all the presenters that we had for this afternoon. So
we will conclude for this afternoon and we will be back at 6:00 p.m.
Thank you.
(Recess - 4:25 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.)
CHAIRMAN: Good evening, everyone. Bonjour. This session is a
continuation of our annual public session related to the general rate
application by NB Power. And we had three excellent presentations
earlier today.
Before we get started with the presentations this evening, I want
to point out that there are translation devices available at the back
of the room. So if anybody feels that they may need that translation
device, please take this opportunity to get one.
All right. And I just want to -- for those who perhaps haven’t
appeared before the Board in the past, I want to point out that the
full Board is present here tonight, including to my left our
Vice-Chair, Francois Beaulieu, Patrick Ervin to my far left, next to
me Michael Costello and Mr. Ervin. Did I call him Mr. Ervin? Mr.
Herron is down there. There, I have got them mixed up.
All right. So would you say a few words in French?
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Bon soir à tous. C’est un continuation de la séance
public que nous avons débuter cette après-midi. Comme M. le président
l’a indiqué, nous avons reçu trois bonnes présentations cet
après-midi. Et puis avant de commencer, nous tenons à souligner que
les dispositifs a l’arrière pour l’écoute en française si vous voulez,
et puis cette un séance extraordinaire, un session extraordinaire de
la Commission. Pis comme vous pouvez le voir, toute le monde est
présent aujourd’hui, Monsieur le président, M. Gorman, et puis à ma
gauche, puis M. Herron, at puis M. Costello, puis M. Ervin.
CHAIRMAN: All right. So just before we get started, I should
indicate as well that we have allocated 15 minutes for each of the
presenters this evening. So we will start with David Amos.
Mr. Amos, I think you can either take that table or the podium.
Either one there is a microphone at both so whatever you are most
comfortable with.
MR. AMOS: Good evening. I presume I can speak for 15 minutes uninterrupted?
CHAIRMAN: Yes. You are allocated 15 minutes, that’s correct, Mr. Amos.
MR. AMOS: First I guess I should thank you for your signature, sir.
I am probably the only man that wanted to intervene that you barred
twice thus far. At least this time I have your signature, that and
Mr. Herron’s and Mr. Costello. Everybody knows I ran against Mr.
Herron in the election of the 38th parliament. And his lawyer,
another Queen’s Counsel, David Lutz never answered me. So I filed the
very same documents that I served upon Mr. Herron and David Lutz in
2004. That said, at that time, I believe you were the lawyer for the
Saint John utilities.
Anyway, Mr. Furey of NB Power, in his opposition to my intervening
this time, didn’t think my whistle blowing efforts against KPMG
amounted to anything, even though I gave you the proof I was
conferring with Diane Lebouthiller, the Commissioner of Revenue
Canada. Well if you don’t think a whistle blower who understands the
malice of a law firm and an accounting firm has the right to
intervene, who also owns property here and is a ratepayer, I don’t
know who is. If you had said such things of Stephen Harper, he would
consider it libel. So do I.
The other two fellows that signed, Mr. Herron and Mr. Costello are
not lawyers. But Mr. Costello and Mr. Ewing both worked for Bell
Aliant. If you looked at the documents I sent, I even had a request
for information from their former lawyer for Bell back in 2004. It
took them four days to print my files.
Anyway, when I first intervened in the 357 Matter, and you asked
me why I intervened, I introduced myself. And I said every lawyer in
the room knows who I am. And you do. And you did not stop me from
intervening in the 357 Matter and I thank you for that. I am still an
intervener in that Matter.
The next hearing they take -- or Mr. Furey takes documents from
the 357 Matter, takes out certain documents, uses them against me and
you barred me without one word in writing. I opposed you delaying the
357 Matter with a proper motion and you never answered that motion.
When you barred me just before you were done, you never put anything
in writing. So the last time I said, fool me once shame on you, fool
me twice shame on me. Now Mr. Furey filed a bunch of documents and
then accused me of things I did not say from a transcript where I was
never given a recording of it. I never threatened to kill anyone.
Who are you people to say any different. That said, the last thing I
said to you, Mr. Gorman, is do you understand the documents that are
already on file. You wouldn’t answer me.
Mr. Herron, who I have debated in several debates, looked like a
deer in the headlights. He wouldn’t say one word the whole time we
were there. As I explained to you, this is a rate increase hearing.
When -- the last meeting we had at the 357 Matter, none of you guys
knew what to do because Mr. Gallant wanted to be Premier again. His
people appointed you to be Chair again.
David Coon, the -- who had lots to say about NB Power when he was
just a guy, was now opposing Mr. Gallant’s promise to freeze rates for
at least three years. Well Mr. Gallant isn’t Premier. However, a
Cabinet Minister’s wife, you allowed to intervene halfway through a
hearing. Interesting. Then as soon as Mr. Higgs becomes Premier, NB
Power all of a sudden wants a rate increase. Ain’t that interesting.
Where is the Green Party.
Now when I first intervened in the 357 Matter, you didn’t want my
friend Gerald Bourque to intervene because he is a leader of a
fledgling political party. He is still intervening. Gerald Bourque,
my friend Roger Richard who I will back up till the cows come home and
I all ran in the last provincial election. My friend Roger Richard
clearly stated his issues were Smart Meters. You should still not
allow Smart Meters until the 357 Matter is heard. I am still an
intervener there.
I will address your libel against me in the proper venue. In my
opinion that’s federal court. You are a Queen’s Counsel, you are
probably aware that New Brunswick does not have a constitution. I
filed the documents that proved that I was involved in a National
Energy Board matter in Saint John while you were a counsellor for the
Utilities. Mr. Morrison, who is hearing a trial of a friend of mine’s
murder, Dick Oland, was NB Power’s lawyer at the National Energy Board
hearing. Did not surprise me when Mr. Furey took out his boss’
documents from those days. He used to work for Brad Green. And yet
inserts a judgment by Mr. Morrison of Patterson & Palmer about barring
some woman to speak because she is frivolous and vexatious. I don’t
know why you think because some woman is frivolous and vexatious that
I am too. I am no less a man than you.
Now as far as these people in New Brunswick goes, I do speak on
behalf of my fellow New Brunswicker. The average income, from what I
read in CBC, of a New Brunswicker is about 31,000. I bet you there is
not one soul in this room that makes over double that. From these --
most folks to make a salary of 31,000, it is comprised of a lot of
people that make a lot less than 31,000 and then a lot of people that
make a lot more, like the people in this room. But a lot of people
are like me, seniors getting by on old Age pensions and Canada Pension
or people working at Tim Hortons and trying to raise a couple of kids.
And a lot of folks have to balance their heat bill versus their
grocery bill or their pharma bill. And yet NB Power has got all kinds
of money for their highest paid employee, a Yankee who makes like
$750,000 to invest in mini nucs and try to peddle them around the
world. Well the last thing I know about NB Power, its mandate, is to
provide my fellow New Brunswickers reliable energy at a reasonable
price. You make lots of electricity now, in fact, you sell it to
other jurisdictions. I used to be in business. I would like to have
$1.7 billion in sales, owed 5 billion. I think I would get out of
debt pretty quick. You are supposed to have 20 percent equity before
you invest in Mactaquac. Just from what I look at the books, what
KPMG says we have for assets I think is what, 6.7 billion, book value
nearly 5 billion. Well the difference between book value and what the
assets are, you are already over 20 percent equity. There is no need
for a price increase. There is no need to borrow money to invest in
mini nucs for the benefit of a bunch of Yankees. I find all of this
very aggravating. The reason that you bar me is because I sue lawyers
and love to argue.
Mr. Gorman, you and I will meet in another court. In my humble
opinion, you need a lawyer. Good evening.
CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Mr. Amos. All right. Next we will have Frank Jopp.

NB Power behind on plan to pay down $1 billion in debt The utility

Methinks the folks who offer their opinions on NB Power's debt and
rate hikes should consider attending the first day of the public EUB
hearing of the 430 Matter today at 9.30 AM in the Delta Hotel in Saint
John N'esy Pas?
David Amos
Methinks tomorrow should prove to be an interesting day at the EUB
hearing o the 430 Matter byway of all the documents that the NB Power
lawyers served on me at the last minute Anyone can download them from
the EUB website if they truly cared N'esy Pas?
Mark (Junkman) George
Here is "the deal".
It serves no one's purpose to run NB Hydro efficiently.
The politicians don't care and see it only as a source to provide
patronage positions.
The folks running it have no desire to operate it efficiently,
otherwise they would have no excuse for rate hikes, and big budgets
indexed to their bonuses.
I *guess*, on many levels, privatization is an answer of sorts, but
does not assure efficient operation and/or decent competitive energy
pricing.
I *suppose* the best thing to do is remove all political control along
with all the middle managers.
Roger Richard
@Mark (Junkman) George You may be right, we should be able to find a
solution. But I wonder where integrity when?
David Amos
@Roger Richard Methinks you know as well as I that I will have another
chance to teach NB Power, the EUB and many lawyers a lesson about
Integrity tomorrow morning at 9.30 in the Delta Hotel in Saint John
N'esy Pas mon cher ami???
Mr Richard pehaps Elizabeth MacPherson the lady
lawyer I was just talking to will teach Higgy and his lawyers a lesson
about Integrity

Representatives from Atlantic Canada's largest telecommunications
company and its 4,300 striking employees returned to the negotiating
table Monday, restarting talks to end the four-month-old strike.
Union and management representatives of Aliant met with federal
mediator Elizabeth MacPherson at an undisclosed location in Halifax.
It's their first face-to-face meeting since talks broke off after just
two days of negotiations in mid-July.
The meeting started at 10 a.m. and ended in the late afternoon, with
plans to resume talks Tuesday.
Federal Labour Minister Joe Fontana called the two sides back to the
table on Friday.
Union representative Dean MacDonald said he's optimistic going into
another round of talks with Aliant.
"Maybe with a bunch of different faces at the table, a new set of ears
and a new set of eyes – may come up with something different," he
said.
About 2,200 managers have been doing the work of the striking employees.
Aliant is majority-owned by Bell Canada and provides phone, internet
and other communications services to about two million residential
customers and 80,000 businesses in Atlantic Canada. It owns the major
telecom providers in all four Atlantic provinces.
Employees are in dispute with the company over job security, pay,
hours of work and benefits. They also want better health-care and
pension benefits as well as limits on contracting out.

Last month, Jay Forbes, the president of Aliant, said the strike had
already cost the company $13 million.

N.B. government behind financial problems of CUPE pensions, ruling suggests
Province ordered to fix $69.2 million funding shortfall
Robert Jones · CBC News · Posted: Nov 09, 2021 6:30 AM AT
CUPE Local 1253 represents about 1,900 New Brunswick school
custodians, maintenance workers and school bus drivers. Its pension
plan has a $69.2 million deficit that an arbitrator blamed on the
province and ordered it to fix. (Camille LaCroix/Radio-Canada)
New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs has made the poor financial
condition of two CUPE pension plans that serve school board workers a
central issue in a strike by public-sector unions, even though it was
the province that drove the pension plans into financial trouble in
the first place, according to a labour arbitration case.
In a decision issued June 28, experienced national labour arbitrator
Elizabeth MacPherson found the province failed to meet its obligation
to fully fund the pension of CUPE Local 1253, representing about 1,900
New Brunswick school custodians, maintenance workers and school bus
drivers, over several years.
That helped drive it into a $69.2 million deficit as of Jan. 1, 2018,
its last full actuarial evaluation.
CUPE president Stephen Drost says members of locals 2745 and 1253 have
made all of their required pension contributions and are not
responsible for their poor financial condition. (Jacques Poitras/CBC
News)
In her ruling, MacPherson ordered the government to begin paying $5.5
million per year as part of a 15-year plan to fix a deterioration in
the pension that years of underfunding caused.
"I find that by failing to make the contributions to the Plan
necessary to fund the going concern deficit identified by the
Actuaries, the Employer has breached the collective agreement," wrote
MacPherson, the former chair of the Canada Industrial Relations Board,
first appointed in 2007 by the former government of Stephen Harper.
"As remedy for the breach, the Employer is directed to commence making
regular contributions to the Plan in accordance with the 2018
Actuarial Valuation in amounts sufficient to eliminate the going
concern deficit within 15 years."
MacPherson noted the figure of $5.5 million per year was an estimate
from 2018 of what is required to fix the pension shortfall and may
have to be updated when a 2021 actuarial valuation of the deficit is
made available.
She is in private practice now in Ontario and was jointly picked by
the province and CUPE to rule on the dispute, which came forward as a
union grievance in 2018
Higgs wants striking employees to be willing to discuss pension changes
Another grievance to be heard
A second nearly identical grievance filed by CUPE Local 2745, the
union representing school administrative staff, also alleges
government wrongly starved its pension plan of millions of dollars in
required contributions.
That grievance is scheduled to be heard next year.
Higgs has been criticizing the financial condition of both pensions,
which are two of only three defined benefit plans left among New
Brunswick government employees. The third plan belongs to provincial
court judges.
Pension reforms have union support, Higgs says
CUPE wants to intervene in public service pension lawsuit
Defined benefit plans guarantee employees agreed-upon amounts of
retirement income and benefits. Although employees and the employer
both contribute to a pension fund to pay those costs, any unexpected
shortfall is a financial responsibility of the employer alone.
Most New Brunswick government unions were moved from defined benefit
to "targeted benefit" pension plans in 2014, but the two CUPE locals
had special wording in their collective agreements that blocked the
province from switching them over.
Workers are among lowest paid
The two plans serve employees who are among the lowest paid in government.
According to the province's latest financial statements, members of
the two unions make an average of just under $36,000 per year with
retired members of CUPE Local 2745 earning average annual pensions of
$8,724. Average pensions of former CUPE Local 1253 members are
$11,979.
"They are no way a gold-plated pension plan," said Theresa McAllister,
president of Local 2745.
The pension plans have been depicted as financial wrecks in government
messaging as part of an effort to pressure the two unions to give them
up for cheaper retirement plans with benefits the province does not
have to guarantee.
Theresa McAllister (in pink sweater) is president of CUPE Local 2745,
whose members, she says, earn under $36,000 on average, with retirees
collecting average annual pensions under $9,000. (CBC)
In government news releases, the plans are described as being
unsustainable and in financial "jeopardy" and last week Higgs told the
legislature that winning changes to the two plans was a key government
goal in its current labour fight with multiple CUPE unions
"That is one of the stalemates in the CUPE discussion," he said
Largely government's doing
Both pension funds are in a serious deficit position, but according to
MacPherson's account of what happened to the CUPE 1253 pension, this
is largely government's doing for unilaterally failing to make regular
"special payments" to keep the plans fully funded as it is required to
do.
MacPherson said special payments are typical in defined benefit plans.
CUPE official backs pension reforms despite protests
Iris Lloyd is President of Local 1253 and said evidence gathered by
the union and presented to MacPherson showed that as a deficit
appeared in the plan following the financial crash of 2008, regular
special payments from the province began but then suddenly stopped in
2013.
Higgs was minister of finance at the time and the end of special
payments triggered a downward spiral in the pension's financial
position from which it has not recovered.
New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs says a decision from a labour
arbitrator that the province owes CUPE 1253's pension plan $69.2
million is not why he's pushing for the plan to be changed.
(Government of New Brunswick)
The former government of Brian Gallant did make a $10.1 million
retroactive payment in 2018 to try to shore up the plan but it remains
in a significant hole.
"Premier Higgs back in 2013 decided to stop making payments into our
pension plan and therefore we were able to prove that he purposely
underfunded our pension plan by that $69.2 million," Lloyd said in an
interview.
"You really have to talk to Premier Higgs about why these plans are in
the shape they are in."
In her decision, MacPherson said the province was wrong to withhold
special payments from the plan that were needed for it to remain
financially healthy.
"Because this is a collectively bargained pension plan, the Employer
is not free to simply ignore or amend the provisions of the Plan text
or otherwise act unilaterally, as it has been able to do with pension
plans applicable to other bargaining units that are solely controlled
by the Employer," MacPherson wrote.
"Any changes to this Plan, including the parties' respective
obligations under the Plan, must be negotiated by the Employer and the
Union."
Future of arbitration case
The province has filed for a judicial review of MacPherson's decision.
Asked Monday about MacPherson's ruling, Higgs said it is unclear who
is to blame for the two pensions' poor financial position.
"We can all have our different views on whether it was funded properly
or not, but I'm not an actuary," said Higgs.
He also denied his goal in changing the pension plans is to escape the
expense of MacPherson's funding order.
Please explain very slowly this: "This Judge understnds the meaning of
the word Integrity ». What the word integrity means now a day?
Thanks,
Roger.

>>>>>
>>>>> PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
>>>>>
>>>>> BETWEEN:
>>>>>
>>>>> DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
>>>>>
>>>>> Plaintiff
>>>>>
>>>>> and
>>>>>
>>>>> HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
>>>>>
>>>>> Defendant
>>>>>
>>>>> ORDER
>>>>>
>>>>> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
>>>>> December 14, 2015)
>>>>>
>>>>> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
>>>>> the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
>>>>> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
>>>>> in its entirety.
>>>>>
>>>>> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
>>>>> letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
>>>>> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
>>>>> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
>>>>> (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that letter
>>>>> he stated:
>>>>>
>>>>> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
>>>>> work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
>>>>> You are your brother’s keeper.
>>>>>
>>>>> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
>>>>> colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
>>>>> expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
>>>>> people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
>>>>> or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
>>>>> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
>>>>> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
>>>>> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
>>>>> Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
>>>>> former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
>>>>> Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
>>>>> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
>>>>> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
>>>>> Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
>>>>> Police.
>>>>>
>>>>> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
>>>>> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
>>>>> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
>>>>> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
>>>>> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
>>>>> Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
>>>>> [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
>>>>> allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
>>>>> requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
>>>>> the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion. There
>>>>> is no order as to costs.

>>>>> When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien
>>>>> actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign

>>>>> Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind.
>>>>> The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not

>>>>> Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway
>>>>> campaign of 2006.
>>>>>
>>>>> What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then
>>>>> Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the
>>>>> Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent,
>>>>> support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament.
>>>>>
>>>>> What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling
>>>>> chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of
>>>>> less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners
>>>>> as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a
>>>>> deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
>>>>>
>>>>> The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have
>>>>> the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war.
>>>>> That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by
>>>>> constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is

>>>>> regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this
>>>>> instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a
>>>>> limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.
>>>>>
>>>>> President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror
>>>>> attacks in New York; that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state”
>>>>> Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control,
>>>>> and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against the world. The
>>>>> initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was vital and
>>>>> essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An
>>>>> ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear
>>>>> and present danger to the entire world. This “occupied state,”
>>>>> or“failed state” will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war of

>>>>> Canada and Canadians are just at risk now with the emergence of an
>>>>> ISIS“caliphate” no matter how large or small, as it was with the
>>>>> Taliban and Al Quaeda “marriage” in Afghanistan.
>>>>>
>>>>> One of the everlasting “legacies” of the “Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty
>>>>> was Canada and successive Liberal governments cowering behind the
>>>>> amerkan’s nuclear and conventional military shield, at the same time
>>>>> denigrating, insulting them, opposing them, and at the same time
>>>>> self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and progenitors of
>>>>> “world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO, the

>>>>> behavior from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister

>>>>> Justin, Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal

>>>>> David Amos are telling Canadians that we can guarantee our security

With
many of UNI's clients unable to deposit cheques or access their
accounts online, one expert says the bank may face serious repercussions
even after the technological issues are resolved. (Patrick-Lacelle/Radio-Canada)
UNI Financial Cooperation's online banking system is causing problems for customers for the second week in a row.
With
many clients unable to deposit cheques or access their accounts online,
one expert says the bank may face serious repercussions even after the
technological problems are resolved.
"Technical and
technological issues happen. Now this is on a bigger scale because this
is people's livelihoods," said Omar Fares, lecturer on retail management
at Toronto Metropolitan University.
"Given the trajectory of where things are going, there may be a hit on UNI and customers' trust will take time [to rebuild]."
The
Acadian bank has been experiencing technical challenges since
separating from Desjardins Group to launch its own online banking
platform. Some customers discovered their most recent pay didn't arrive
in their accounts, something UNI described in an update Sunday as
"payroll deferral."
UNI CEO Robert Moreau said some
crucial improvements will be made as quickly as possible, such as making
it possible to make a bill payment at an ATM.
"I can assure you that we will work tirelessly, 24 hours a day, to correct these irritants," said Moreau.
Despite the technical challenges, 68,000 people have registered an online profile with the bank.
Fares said this does not come as a surprise.
Credit unions a community
"With
a credit union, there is such a community focus … so clients are in a
sense a little bit more forgiving than traditional banking
institutions."
However, Fares said UNI should be giving customers daily updates to avoid further frustrations and distrust.
"Your
customers will make assumptions, right?" Fares said. "'Why did the
system drop?' 'Was there any data leakage?' These are issues if the bank
does not bring up proactively, it will be in terms brought up from the
customer side."
Fares said once UNI's online banking
platform is finally up and running, the bank will have to try to make up
for frustrations their clients experienced.
"It takes a
very long time to build trust and we've seen it takes a few days and a
technological issue to destroy the trust," said Fares.

Gov't took 15 months to act over troubled caisse: affidavit
CBC News · Posted: Apr 17, 2007 12:37 PM AD
The former Tory government in New Brunswick was asked to
crack down on the Caisse Populaire de Shippagan 15 months before action
was finally taken, according to an affidavit obtained by CBC News.
Last month, the province announced a $60-million grant
to sort out the credit union industry in the province, and $41 million
of it went to bailing out the Shippagan caisse, which had a debt of
about $60 million. Ever since that announcement, the Opposition
Conservatives have been hammering the government, saying the money
should have been a loan, not a grant.
In return, the Liberals said the Tories knew problems
were building up when they were in power. The caisse first started to
see financial trouble in 2004, as the result of a series of bad loans.
The delay in putting the caisse under supervision,
revealed in the affidavit,also delayed efforts by an industry
stabilization board to force the caisse to change the way it does
business.
In 2002 the caisse in Shippagan was part of the
anglophone Credit Union Central of New Brunswick and came under the
authority of the Credit Union Central stabilization board and fund.
The board's administrators were increasingly concerned
with the caisse's aggressive business practices, and the financial risks
they created.
Following an audit, the board gave the caisse a list of
10 orders to comply with, but the caisse fought those orders in court.
What happened next is explained in an affidavit by Darrell Kuhn, the CEO of Credit Union Central."

Caisse Populaire Beauséjour has $5M deficit
CBC News · Posted: Apr 24, 2007 4:00 PM ADT
"A Moncton-based caisse populaire ran up a $5 million
deficit last year, the latest hit to New Brunswick's francophone credit
union system, but an expert says the recent trouble doesn't make credit
unions less reliable than banks.
The Caisse Populaire de Shippaganmade headlines recently
when the province agreed to give it a $41 million bailout. Now, the
Caisse Populaire Beauséjour has released data showing it is more than $5
million in debt due to bad loans.
Camille Thériault of the Fédération des caisses
populaires acadiennes announced Monday the problem was discovered during
the regular 18-month audits of the caisse.

UNI Financial Cooperation: Camille Thériault bows out
Radio Canada
Posted December 29, 2016 3:58 PM
After having worked for 12 years for the development and
sustainability of the Fédération des Caisses populaires acadiennes,
Camille Thériault passes the torch to his successor.
When Mr. Thériault took over the management of the
Fédération des Caisses populaires acadiennes, he had only one idea in
mind: to embody change.
"We always tried to look to the future [...] to ensure
that people, young people, continue to have the best financial
services," he says.
Among the first major changes that the caisses underwent
was their change of name and consolidation under UNI Financial
Cooperation.
Camille Thériault explains that New Brunswickers were
especially shocked by the removal of the “Acadian” aspect of the banner.
He is rather convinced that it was no longer necessary.
“Today's young people are Acadians They don't need to
have a flag on their backs to say that they are Acadians in their
hearts, they know it, and back home we are Acadian, we will always be
Acadian. The star is still there and it shines brighter than ever,”
assures the former CEO.

Mr. Thériault also felt it necessary to reduce the
number of branches to be more competitive. “We had 90 points of service
and all the other banks together in the French-speaking region of New
Brunswick, there were not 50,” he noted.
The man who was also Premier of New Brunswick and
President of the Transportation Safety Board of Canada intends to remain
present in the public sphere. The project he is currently considering
is to raise $50 million as part of the fundraising campaign launched by
the Université de Moncton.

Volpé, accused of threatening civil servant, apologizes
CBC News · Posted: Apr 13, 2007 12:21 PM ADT
Volpé made the comment in question while meeting with
Robert Penney, the superintendent of credit unions. The politician was
angry about Penney's suggestion that, when Volpé was a cabinet minister,
he had been warned about potential irregularities at the Caisse
Populaire de Shippagan.
In a transcript of the meeting released Thursday,Volpé
is recorded as saying to Penney: "I will not let my name go in the dirt.
If there is something in life that I said is important to me, it's
integrity, so it will not go down, or a lot of people will go down with
me, so it has to be fixed."
"I will be quite frank," Penney replied. "That sounds threatening in tone."
"That is just my way. All I am saying here is something is happening here that is not good," Volpé said.
The controversy follows the Liberal government's
decision to give the financially troubled Caisse a $41-million bailout.
Attorney General T.J. Burke announced last week that the
RCMP had been asked to look into why the Caisse lost so much money.
Journalists were told that the Mounties would be looking
for red flags such as large deposits coming from outside the normal
business area that might point to money laundering.
Volpé has demanded Burke resign over his comments,
saying he prejudged a police investigation by suggesting police might
find evidence of money laundering in the case.
Volpé also accused the government of releasing the
transcript in a bid to distract the public from Burke's comments.
The transcript has Penney confirming he never used the
words "money laundering" or "red flags" when he met with Volpé about the
Caisse's situation in 2006.

Up to $60M to go to Shippagan's credit union
CBC News · Posted: Mar 16, 2007 12:02 PM ADT
Last week, the Liberal government announced its plan to
return the caisse to the security of the Fédération des caisses
populaires acadiennes, more than 20 years after the two separated and
the caisse joined the anglophone Central Credit Union of New Brunswick.
However, the government didn't give financial details.
Finance Minister Victor Boudreau said that $60 million
in Tuesday's budget is going to the stabilization board and the Central
Credit Union of New Brunswick's risk management board, as a maximum
amount to stabilize the troubled credit union.
Boudreau wouldn't say how much of that $60 million will
be injected into Shippagan's credit union or whether it's a grant, a
loan or a loan guarantee. However, he has said the credit union's future
depends on it.
John Williamson from the Canadian Taxpayer Federation
said New Brunswickers should pay close attention to the $60 million set
aside, because it's roughly the same amount they'll be paying in tax
increases in 2007.
"I'd want to know why taxes are going up to pay for
bailouts, as opposed to having governments spend money in priority
areas," Williamson said Thursday.
"Governing is all about making choices and prioritizing
spending. In this case, we have a government which has obviously decided
that saving a credit union is worthwhile, despite the fact that no one
from the province seems able to explain why it's in the province's
interest, or why it's in the taxpayer's interest, to be spending this
kind of money."
Robert
Moreau, CEO of UNI Financial Cooperation, said the new system will
allow UNI to 'better respond to the unique needs of our francophone and
Acadian customers in New Brunswick.' (Serge Bouchard/Radio-Canada)
Despite
continuing problems with a new system more than two weeks after the
changes were made, Robert Moreau, the CEO of UNI Financial Cooperation,
says the technical transition was the right decision.
"We will get through this, and each member and customer will be served accordingly," Moreau said Thursday at a news conference.
For
years, UNI relied on the Quebec-based Desjardins Group for its online
platform but needed one tailored to its own needs in New Brunswick.
Moreau said this new platform will better meet the needs of the credit union's members and customers.

also known as Caisse Populaire, is a credit union headquartered in

About
155,000 customers were supposed to transition to the new platform on
July 6, but technical issues have plagued the system for some customers
across the province.
Moreau said that despite the problems, "most of the banking services are stable."
He
said 75 per cent of members have successfully activated their new debit
cards and 65 per cent have activated their online profiles over the
past two weeks.
Moreau would not commit to a date when
the problems will be fixed, but he said he expects the inability to pay
bills using the ATM will be resolved "shortly."
"Teams are working around the clock," he said.

CEO says UNI won't stop until banking service returns to what customers expect

For
the last two weeks, Uni clients have been dealing with ongoing problems
on the online banking site. On Thursday the company’s CEO held a news
conference.
As for other outstanding issues with the system, he said, those are being addressed "issue by issue and matter by matter."
The timing of the launch of the new online platform has disrupted summer vacations for some customers.
Danielle Soucy, who has been with the bank since she was 13, was unable to pay bills or transfer money to her credit card.
When she was left on a vacation to Virginia, she was unable to pay for gas or withdraw money to change into U.S. currency.
Both
lack of access to online services and little reassurance from UNI’s
customer service has led to increasing disappointment for UNI’s
clientele. (Jonathon Collicott)
"Of
course I could have planned ahead of time, but you don't expect your
bank to stop working out of the blue just before you leave the country,"
she told CBC.
Other people have complained about not
getting their pay in their accounts. Many people who normally do their
banking online or at an ATM were forced to visit a credit union branch.
When pressed about the decision to launch the new online system now, Moreau said, "there are no perfect dates."
UNI and their partners were confident "the time was right," he said.
"In hindsight, there are always lessons to be learned."
Moreau thanked the bank's customers and members for their patience during a turbulent time.
"We absolutely understand that this hasn't been an easy transition for some of our members, there's no question about that.
"We recognize that this period will be a test of our member's loyalty."
Moreau
said customers who are concerned about being charged fees or interest
for late payments will not incur any additional costs because of these
technical problems.
"We will make sure we take care of
them," he said. "We will not stop until our clients are 100 per cent
satisfied with our service."
Moreau said the new system will allow UNI to "better
respond to the unique needs of our francophone and Acadian customers in
New Brunswick."

$31.5M grant for Shippagan caisse goes too far: Volpé
CBC News ·
New
Brunswick's Opposition leader is warning that the province's credit
rating could be damaged by a possible $60-million bailout of the Caisse
Populaire de Shippagan.
The Liberal government is granting $31.5
million to help the francophone credit union's debt, caused by a series
of bad loans over four years. The province is investing $10 million more
in repayable shares, and another $19 million to stabilize deposit
insurance for New Brunswick credit unions and caisses.
The $60
million, equal to the caisse's individual debt was earmarked in the
government's first budget,earlier this month, as money for the
province's anglophone and francophone credit union systems, as a maximum
amount to stabilize the Shippagan caisse. The budget also included a
personal income tax hike that will result in a further $50 million for
the government.
In the Legislature Tuesday, Opposition leader and
former finance minister Jeannot Volpé condemned the deal, drawing a link
between the $60 million set aside for credit unions and the $50 million
to be generated by personal income tax.
The province insists it
had no other option, because the former Tory government did nothing to
resolve the situation, and taxpayers were on the hook for $85 million if
the credit union failed.
Volpé says his government tried to help
the caisse through loans, not grants. He says the grant opens a door
that hasn't been opened before, and the federal government's credit
rating agency will be paying close attention.
"The credit rating
agency will even look at it because we've opened the door, we've given a
huge grant to someone doing business in New Brunswick," he said.
"What's next? The banks? What's next, the pension funds maybe that are
unfunded? They've opened that door that was not opened before."
However,
Justice and Consumer Affairs Minister T.J. Burke says the former
government has to take the blame for the problem of the caisse, which
has been "bubbling over," he said, since 2004.
But the Tories say
they were pursuing a solution that was much cheaper to taxpayers. Tory
MLA for Riverview and former minister of justice and consumer affairs
Bruce Fitch says the former government's plan involved a $30-million
repayable loan.
Fitch says the Conservatives tried to fix the
problems with the struggling Caisse, and he says the price tag on their
solution would have cost less than $2 million. However, the
Conservatives never struck that deal.
"They did nothing," Burke
said. "They didn't have an annual general meeting, which was required
by law. They ended up getting exemptions under the act, so that it
didn't have to take place, so the members of the credit union couldn't
see the audited financial statements at year's end. They didn't appoint a
superintendent of credit unions until August of last year."
That superintendent, Robert Penney, says he plans to toughen up the Credit Unions Act.
"The
teeth would be in the regulatory process, in terms of improving the
appeal and oversight process, to make the impact of negative inspections
immediate," he said Tuesday.
With the Opposition leader drawing a
link between the credit union bailout and the Graham government's
raising an extra $50 million from personal income tax hikes, the stage
seems set for a continuing political war over who is to blame for the
$60-million bill.
$31.5M caisse bailout cheaper than failure, Burke says
CBC News ·
Consumer
Affairs Minister T.J. Burke is defending his government's $31.5 million
bailout of a struggling credit union, saying it would be more expensive
for New Brunswick if the financial institution folded.
"Had we
not intervened, the Caisse Populaire de Shippagan may have had to face
the possibility of liquidation, which could potentially have cost the
taxpayers of New Brunswick in excess of $85 million," he said Monday.
The
Liberal government's first budget, which came down this month,
earmarked a possible $60 million to help stabilize New Brunswick's
Credit Union system, and a maximum amount to stabilize the troubled
Shippagan institution, which has lost $60 million over the past four
years.
New Brunswick's superintendent of credit unions, Robert Penney, broke down the details of the funding Monday.
He
said the governmentwill grant $31.5 million to the New Brunswick Credit
Union DepositInsurance Corp., which will give the money to the
stabilization board ofthe Fédération des caisse populaires acadiennes.
The stabilization board will in turn grant it to the caisse.
Penneyalso
said the province will grant another $18.5 million to the deposit
insurance corporation, as a kind of life insurance for the credit union
system.
Burke said the bailout was needed because legislation
enacted under the previous Conservative government holds the province
responsible for 100 per cent of all deposits if a credit union goes
under.
The Liberals plan to introduce new legislation to change that, he said.
The
Caisse Populaire in Shippagan will receive the government money June 1,
when it will move from the anglophone Credit Union Central of New
Brunswick federation back to the francophone federation, which it left
after a dispute in the early 1980s.
Robert Moreau will be UNI's new Chief Executive Officer
The President of UNI Financial
Cooperation’s Board of Directors, Pierre-Marcel Desjardins, announced
today the appointment of Robert Moreau as Chief Executive Officer of the
institution.
He will thus replace Camille H. Thériault who will step down on
December 31, 2016 after 12 years at the helm of the Caisses populaires
acadiennes, as announced last September. UNI Financial Cooperation’s new
Chief Executive Officer will take office at the beginning of 2017.
“The Board is very happy with its decision, especially since the
chosen candidate is from our region and knows UNI very well, ensuring
consistency and stability. These past years, we went through significant
changes to become more flexible and efficient and it is obvious that
the new Chief Executive Officer’s challenge will be to lend impetus to
the institution, optimizing customer experience while remaining aware of
the rapidly changing industry,” said Pierre-Marcel Desjardins.
Mr. Moreau has been UNI’s Vice-President, Corporate Services since
September 2015. He holds the CPA, CGA designations, as well as the ICD.D
title from the Institute of Corporate Directors. He was previously
Vice-President and Chief Executive Officer of Assumption Life after
having been Imperial Manufacturing Group’s Chief Financial Officer. He
is also the current President of the Conseil économique du
Nouveau-Brunswick and a member of many provincial boards of directors.
Finally, it is noteworthy to mention that Robert Moreau will become the 6th person to hold office as the financial cooperative’s highest executive position.

The
New Brunswick government has set aside up to $60 million to save
Shippagan's financially strapped credit union but a taxpayer advocacy
group suggests the Liberals should be spending the money "in priority
areas."
The Caisses Populaire de Shippagan, which has been in
financial trouble for the past three years, was placed under the control
of the Central Credit Union of New Brunswick's risk management board in
2004 after a series of commercial loans were not repaid.
Last
week, the Liberal government announced its plan to return the caisse to
the security of the Fédération des caisses populaires acadiennes, more
than 20 years after the two separated and the caisse joined the
anglophone Central Credit Union of New Brunswick. However, the
government didn't give financial details.
Finance Minister Victor
Boudreau said that $60 million in Tuesday's budget is going to the
stabilization board and the Central Credit Union of New Brunswick's risk
management board, as a maximum amount to stabilize the troubled credit
union.
Boudreau wouldn't say how much of that $60 million will be
injected into Shippagan's credit union or whether it's a grant, a loan
or a loan guarantee. However, he has said the credit union's future
depends on it.
John Williamson from the Canadian Taxpayer
Federation said New Brunswickers should pay close attention to the $60
million set aside, because it's roughly the same amount they'll be
paying in tax increases in 2007.
"I'd want to know why taxes are
going up to pay for bailouts, as opposed to having governments spend
money in priority areas," Williamson said Thursday.
"Governing is
all about making choices and prioritizing spending. In this case, we
have a government which has obviously decided that saving a credit union
is worthwhile, despite the fact that no one from the province seems
able to explain why it's in the province's interest, or why it's in the
taxpayer's interest, to be spending this kind of money."
Opposition
critic Bruce Fitch said he wants details now on how the province plans
to save the credit union. "Sixty million dollars is a substantial amount
of money and I'd like to know exactly what it is going to be used for,"
he said.
The province will release exact dollar amounts at a meeting with the Caisse de Shippagan on March 26.
Camille
Theriault of the Fédération des caisses populaires acadiennes said that
ignoring the struggling credit union was not really an option for
government.
"What would happen is that the government would have
to liquidate the Caisse Populaire de Shippagan and my impression is that
that would be a lot more expensive than looking at the funds that would
be involved in the rehabilitation of the Caisse Populaire de
Shippagan," Theriault said.
The Shippagan caisse split with its
Acadian counterparts in 1982 over a difference of opinion. It joined
forces with the anglophone Central Credit Union of New Brunswick.
The Caisse de Shippagan is set to rejoin the federation in June.
Burke calls for RCMP investigation into Shippagan caisse
CBC News ·
The
New Brunswick government has asked the RCMP to launch a criminal
investigation into the troubled Caisse Populaire de Shippagan.
Attorney General T.J. Burke said Wednesday there may have been "improprieties" at the caisse.
Last
month the province announced a $60-million grant to sort out the credit
union industry in the province, and more than half of that was togo to
bail out the Shippagan caisse.
Ever since that announcement, the
Opposition Conservatives have been hammering the government, saying the
money should have been a loan, not a grant.
In return, the
Liberals said the Tories knew problems were building up when they were
in power; the caisse first started to see financial trouble in 2004, as
the result of a series of bad loans.
Today, Burke took the
controversy a step further, announcing he'd called in the RCMP to help
answer questions about how the previous management ran the caisse, and
got it so deep into debt.
"There is a possibility that there has
been some impropriety with respect to large transactions coming into a
financial institution and coming out so quickly."
He said the Tories may not like what the investigation turns up.
"As we peel the layers of this onion, the smell of it is just getting stronger and stronger."
Last
month, Burke suggested a relative of Tory MLA Paul Robichaud was on the
board of the caisse, and that Tory attacks on the bailout were meant to
"protect" that relative.
Wednesday, Robichaud said,"I welcome the investigation. We're not against the investigation."
But
his leader, Jeannot Volpé, said the government is calling in the police
to distract the public from the controversy over the grant.
Meanwhile, Burke has also asked the auditor general to look into the caisse's troubled history.
Volpé, accused of threatening civil servant, apologizes
CBC News ·
Jeannot
Volpé apologized Friday, after New Brunswick's superintendent of credit
unions accused the Tory Opposition leader of threatening him while
discussing the Caisse Populaire de Shippagan earlier in the week.
"Because
of the importance I place on personal integrity, I wish to apologize
this morning if anything I said during that meeting offended anyone in
the provincial civil service or made an official feel pressured," Volpé
said in Friday's legislature.
"That was not my intention, and that's not the way I conduct myself as an MLA or as leader of the opposition."
Volpé
made the comment in question while meeting with Robert Penney, the
superintendent of credit unions. The politician was angry about Penney's
suggestion that, when Volpé was a cabinet minister, he had been warned
about potential irregularities at the Caisse Populaire de Shippagan.
In
a transcript of the meeting released Thursday,Volpé is recorded as
saying to Penney: "I will not let my name go in the dirt. If there is
something in life that I said is important to me, it's integrity, so it
will not go down, or a lot of people will go down with me, so it has to
be fixed."
"I will be quite frank," Penney replied. "That sounds threatening in tone."
"That is just my way. All I am saying here is something is happening here that is not good," Volpé said.
The controversy follows the Liberal government's decision to give the financially troubled Caisse a $41-million bailout.
Attorney General T.J. Burke announced last week that the RCMP had been asked to look into why the Caisse lost so much money.
Journalists
were told that the Mounties would be looking for red flags such as
large deposits coming from outside the normal business area that might
point to money laundering.
Volpé has demanded Burke resign over his
comments, saying he prejudged a police investigation by suggesting
police might find evidence of money laundering in the case.
Volpé also accused the government of releasing the transcript in a bid to distract the public from Burke's comments.
The
transcript has Penney confirming he never used the words "money
laundering" or "red flags" when he met with Volpé about the Caisse's
situation in 2006.
Gov't took 15 months to act over troubled caisse: affidavit
CBC News ·
The
former Tory government in New Brunswick was asked to crack down on the
Caisse Populaire de Shippagan 15 months before action was finally taken,
according to an affidavit obtained by CBC News.
Last month, the
province announced a $60-million grant to sort out the credit union
industry in the province, and $41 million of it went to bailing out the
Shippagan caisse, which had a debt of about $60 million. Ever since that
announcement, the Opposition Conservatives have been hammering the
government, saying the money should have been a loan, not a grant.
In
return, the Liberals said the Tories knew problems were building up
when they were in power. The caisse first started to see financial
trouble in 2004, as the result of a series of bad loans.
The delay
in putting the caisse under supervision, revealed in the affidavit,also
delayed efforts by an industry stabilization board to force the caisse to
change the way it does business.
In 2002 the caisse in Shippagan
was part of the anglophone Credit Union Central of New Brunswick and
came under the authority of the Credit Union Central stabilization board
and fund.
The board's administrators were increasingly concerned
with the caisse's aggressive business practices, and the financial risks
they created.
Following an audit, the board gave the caisse a list of 10 orders to comply with, but the caisse fought those orders in court.
What happened next is explained in an affidavit by Darrell Kuhn, the CEO of Credit Union Central.
In
March 2003, Kuhn asked the province's acting superintendent of credit
unions, Suzanne Bonnell-Burley, to put the Shippagan caisse under
supervision. That would give the board the power to force the caisse to
comply with its orders.
"By way of letter dated March 21, 2003,
the [Credit Union Stabilization Fund] requested supervisory powers from
the superintendent," the affidavit reads.
According to Kuhn's affidavit, the provincial superintendent never responded in writing to the request.
"Although
the CUSF requested a formal response in writing by March 31, 2003, the
Superintendent has never provided any written response to the request
for supervisory powers."
It was another15 months before the
Shippagan Caisse was finally put under supervision in June 2004, and
forced to hire new management and change its business practices.
It's
not clear from the court affidavit whether that delay added to the
caisse's losses — losses that eventually led to last month's $41-million
government bailout.
A
Moncton-based caisse populaire ran up a $5 million deficit last year,
the latest hit to New Brunswick's francophone credit union system, but
an expert says the recent trouble doesn't make credit unions less
reliable than banks.
The Caisse Populaire de Shippaganmade
headlines recently when the province agreed to give it a $41 million
bailout. Now, the Caisse Populaire Beauséjour has released data showing
it is more than $5 million in debt due to bad loans.
Camille
Thériault of the Fédération des caisses populaires acadiennes announced
Monday the problem was discovered during the regular 18-month audits of
the caisse.
Université de Moncton co-op management specialist
André Leclerc says some bank branches may have just as many problems,
but don't tell the public about them.
"For the banks, we don't
have any information at the branch level, but that doesn't mean they
don't have financial problems," Leclerc said Tuesday.
"If a branch
has financial problems in a bank, it will be covered by all the
networks. So, the network is making lots of profits, but that doesn't
mean there is no branch [without] financial problems."
The Moncton
caisse was put under trusteeship at the beginning of the year, and
Thériault said the federation is considering shortening the time between
audits to every 12 months. Thériault said the caisse will follow up on
all loans that are in default.
Shippagan caisse bailout could have been avoided: AG
CBC News ·
New
Brunswick's auditor-general has issued a damning report on the
taxpayer-funded bailout of the Caisse populaire de Shippagan, blaming
the former Progressive Conservative government for failing to properly
regulate the northern financial institution.
Auditor General Mike
Ferguson released the 53-page report on Tuesday that also said a handful
of senior managers at the caisse populaire covered up financial
problems.
'Had
the superintendent taken action when [Credit Union Stabilization Fund
and Risk Management Agency] recommended it, the total loss to New
Brunswick taxpayers would probably have been about half of what it
eventually was.'— Auditor General's report
The
Liberal government bailed out the northern caisse populaire in 2007
with a $37-million grant and another $16.5-million in guarantees.
The influx of government funds were to offset massive losses at the caisse populaire.
The report said it all could have been avoided.
Ferguson
said Belonie Mallet, the institution's general manager, committed
"irregularities" that covered up losses at the caisse populaire while he
personally benefited.
"We believe that some of the actions of the
former general manager, Mr. Belonie Mallet, caused financial harm to
[caisse populaire] while at the same time appearing to be to his
personal benefit," Mallet said
The report also indicates that the institution's board failed to provide proper oversight until it was too late.
Government regulation failed
But Ferguson also blames the former Bernard Lord government for failing to properly regulate the caisse populaire.
"Ultimately
the government's regulation of [caisse populaire] failed. It failed as
early as 1981 with the decision to allow [caisse populaire] to move to
Credit Union Central; it failed to properly interpret the symptoms of
serious trouble that it had before it in the late 1990s and early 2000s;
and it failed to take appropriate action even when the organization
responsible for inspections realized the gravity of the situation," the
report said.
The report indicated the province's superintendent of
credit unions, an employee in the Department of Justice and Consumer
Affairs, took months and in some cases years to make decisions based on
problems that should have been obvious.
The auditor general's
report indicated those problems were partly the provincial government's
fault because the superintendent was working part-time and had been
ordered to focus on issues other than the caisse.
Ferguson said if
the superintendent had acted between 2001 and 2003, when the
Conservatives were in office, much of the losses might have been
prevented.
"Had the superintendent taken action when [Credit Union
Stabilization Fund and Risk Management Agency] recommended it, the
total loss to New Brunswick taxpayers would probably have been about
half of what it eventually was," the report said
PC MLA Carl Urquhart played down the former Conservative government's failures when speaking on Tuesday.
"The
fact that things were going on that was wrong. The people who were
responsible for that are still responsible for that, whether it was
stopped sometime along the way," Urquart said.
A
long-awaited investigation by New Brunswick’s auditor general into the
near collapse of Caisse Populaire de Shippagan has revealed a string of
failures ranging from the credit union’s mismanagement to shabby
accounting.
In a sweeping report released Tuesday, Mike Ferguson pieces together
the sequence of events that brought the northern financial institution
to its knees in 2007, leading the Liberal government prop it up with a
nearly $40-million bailout.
The 54-page report identifies the failures in the chain of command _
from the credit union’s senior staff to the province’s regulatory regime
_ that allowed the credit union to fudge its financial results,
fattening the salaries of some senior management.
“Failure … of the former senior management team … failure of the
board of directors at the time to provide effective oversight … and
failure of the auditors,” Ferguson states in the report.
But New Brunswick’s former Conservative government also shoulders
some of the blame, the report states, for failing to ensure adequate
regulation and supervision of the credit union.
For example, the superintendent of credit unions _ only a part-time
role at the time _ had been directed by the Justice Department to focus
on other priorities. Also, the regulatory body at the time, the New
Brunswick Credit Union Federation Stabilization Board, had inadequate
powers to act once it became aware of the institution’s problems.
If government had taken action sooner, “the total loss to New
Brunswick taxpayers would probably have been about half what it
eventually was,” Ferguson states.
Premier Shawn Graham said the massive losses could have been avoided had the Conservatives not “avoided the issue.”
However, Tory Leader David Alward said problems at the credit union
date back to the 1980s and have continued throughout successive
governments.
The auditor general’s report, which examines “irregular activities”
at the Shippagan, N.B., bank from 1998 to 2004, was submitted Tuesday to
the legislature’s standing committee on Crown corporations. It includes
six recommendations to ensure the current regulatory regime is robust.
The recommendations include ensuring the auditors of credit unions
have the skills and experience necessary; enforcing term limits for
members of the governing bodies of Crown corporations; and ensuring the
government’s regulatory and supervisory bodies have the power and
resources to do their job.
A copy of the report has been given to the RCMP, Ferguson told the
committee.The investigation of the credit union brought in KPMG
Forensic, a division of the financial services firm that specializes in
white-collar crime, to perform field work.
KPMG noted “in general an adversarial tone to the correspondence
coming from” the credit union, and management showed “contempt for the
regulatory process,” Ferguson’s report states.
The KPMG report reveals that management at the credit union covered
up financial problems to make the institution look profitable.
“Because the organization appeared to be doing well, one or more
members of the senior management group were being paid large salaries
and collecting large dividends,” Ferguson said.
For example, in 2003 the credit union reported a surplus of $700,000
but an adjusted net income reveals losses of more than $9 million. The
equity to asset ratio would have been 1.3 per cent _ below the level
required for a credit union in New Brunswick.
In addition, large bonuses were approved and paid to select credit
union employees annually, even though annual evaluations did not exist
and there were no criteria to establish bonuses, the report states.
The credit union, located in a town with fewer than 3,000 people in
the Acadian Peninsula, started to compete with bigger banks in 2001.
The financial institution began offering high-risk financial
products, such as high-interest loans, despite its inexperience with
such products, Ferguson said.
KPMG learned that the credit union routinely made changes to loan
files, a practice referred to as a “flush” process, so that toxic loans
would not appear on delinquency reports.
“You can look at what’s happened over the last year in the whole
financial world and you can draw some comparisons,” Ferguson said to
reporters Tuesday. “A lot of what happened at the Caisse Populaire de
Shippagan is pretty much in common with what you see in some reports on
what’s happened in the U.S.”
New Brunswick taxpayers have already given the institution a
$37-million grant and could be on the hook for another $16.5 in
guarantees to stabilize the credit union.
“The fallout from this problem is still going on,” Ferguson states in his report, pointing to its $1.4-million price tag.
On 1 January 2020 a new Credit Unions Act came into effect.
The modernized Credit Unions Actrestructures
the regulatory framework and streamlines responsibilities, eliminates
duplication and reduces the regulatory burden and costs to credit
unions. FCNB is now responsible for the front-line regulation of credit
unions. The former stabilization fund and the former deposit insurance
fund are now combined into a single deposit protection fund that is
administered by the New Brunswick Credit Union Deposit Insurance
Corporation. The amount of deposit insurance remains unchanged at
$250,000 per eligible deposit.
The Financial Institutions Division provides corporate registry
services for credit unions and oversees the financial stability and
solvency of credit unions for the protection of depositors.

How to incorporate a credit union
The Credit Unions Act of New Brunswick regulates the incorporation of credit unions in the province.
To incorporate a credit union, 10 or more applicants, who are of the
age of majority, may make an application to the Superintendent and upon
approval of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, a certificate of
incorporation will be issued. The application is made using Form 1. It
includes a signed declaration that, to the best of their knowledge, each
director named is qualified to be a director and that the proposed name
is not in violation of the Act.
The applicants will have to conduct a name search and provide a NUANS
report to ensure the name under which the incorporation is sought is
not similar to that of another business. Applicants should check with
the Commission’s Financial Institutions Division to verify that the
proposed name is acceptable to the Superintendent of Credit Unions. This
approval must be done prior to making any investment in the name (i.e.,
logo, brand, website, etc.).
Applicants are required to provide by-laws to address matters that
are applicable but are not set out in the articles of incorporation,
such as:
qualifications for, conditions of and method of applying for and terminating membership in the credit union;
location of meetings, procedures and quorum, rights in relation to
voting and the making, repealing or amending of by-laws, right of
members to vote by ballot, mail, telephone or other communication
facilities and the manner, form and effect of voting;

directors, committee members and officers, their powers, duties and
remuneration, and the procedure and quorum at meetings of the board of
directors;
the division of the territory into districts for the purpose of
holding district meetings during annual or other meetings of members,
the business that may be conducted and procedures to be followed.
Applicants also have to submit with their application:
a declaration, that subject to the Act and regulations,
the purpose of the credit union is to provide a comprehensive range of
financial services that meet the needs of its members and that it shall
operate on a co-operative basis and in accordance with generally
accepted co-operative principles;
a declaration that they are qualified to establish and the proposed
directors are qualified to establish and operate the proposed credit
union;
a statement indicating that the credit union will become a member of Atlantic Central;
a written opinion from the Atlantic Central indicating that the
proposed credit union will be established and operated in a manner
whereby the investments and deposits of the members will be safeguarded;
a written statement that the proposed credit union will maintain
such types and minimum levels of insurance and bonding as required by
the Superintendent of credit unions;
a business plan indicating the proposed credit union's strategic
planning, marketing, human resources, operation, finance and accounting
policies and procedures.
a five year pro forma financial projection.
written confirmation that the proposed credit union will have a
minimum of $500,000 of regulatory capital as of the date of
incorporation or any greater amount the Superintendent requires after
incorporation as a credit union; and any other information the
Superintendent may require.
The Commission will ensure the documents are in conformity with the Credit Unions Act.
Before it starts operations, the credit union has to provide to the Superintendent:
a copy of the proposed credit union's loan policy;
a copy of the proposed credit union's investment policy, including the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations;
a copy of the proposed liquidity management plan;
a copy of the proposed capital management plan;
copies of the proposed monitoring reports specifying the content,
frequency and forms to be submitted to the Superintendent of credit
unions; and
written confirmation that the credit union is a bona fide member of Atlantic Central.
A credit union must, each year after its annual meeting, send
its annual return and audited financial statements to the
Superintendent.

Louis
Léger, right, with Higgs adviser Paul d'Astous in September 2018 at
Government House, while Higgs was meeting with the lieutenant-governor
amid jockeying over which party would govern following an election that
produced no majority. (Jacques Poitras/CBC )
Premier Blaine Higgs is losing his chief of staff.
Louis
Léger, a longtime Progressive Conservative staffer, operative and
volunteer, confirmed to CBC News on Tuesday that he's leaving the
position, nominally the top political adviser to a premier.
He said he made the decision during a Christmastime vacation to Hawaii.
"It was the right time for me to do that," he said in an interview.
Léger's
departure coincides with several controversial moves by the government
on language issues and calls for a party vote on Higgs's leadership from
some francophone members of the PC party.
He said the premier encouraged him to "speak truth to power" about what was important to francophones.
"There
are many things that the premier and I agreed on. There were things
every so often that we less agreed on, but those things will stay
between he and I," Léger said.
Moncton
South PC MLA Greg Turner said language controversies, and speculation
about whether Higgs will stay on as leader for the 2024 election, had no
role in Léger's decision. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
"I'm
a big believer in the importance of our institution, in the
relationship between the chief of staff and the premier.… My job was to
make sure the premier understood the aspirations and understood the
reality of things. I did that.
"I'm not going to get into the details of those things. I don't think it would be appropriate to do, certainly not today."
Moncton South PC MLA Greg Turner called Leger's departure "a very, very amicable separation."
Turner said Léger told the PC caucus his plans Monday night.
"He
found he'd contributed a lot over the time he was in that position, and
felt it was a good time for him to relax a bit more and take some time
off."
Liaison to Acadian community
Léger was widely seen
as the most influential francophone in Higgs's government and was
frequently the go-between with Acadian organizations wary of the
premier's approach to language issues.
"It's a big loss," said Alexandre Cedric-Doucet, president of the Acadian Society of New Brunswick.
"Mr.
Léger played a diplomatic role, maintaining the relationship between
the Premier's Office and the Acadian and francophone communities."
Léger
advised Higgs after the party won the most seats in the 2018 election
and then spent weeks jockeying with Liberal Brian Gallant over who
would govern the province.
When Higgs prevailed, Léger became his chief of staff.
Doucet
said it was hard to assess Léger's contribution, especially on language
issues, but said he had likely influenced Higgs to not make decisions
that would have been even worse for francophones.
Léger said
there are "things we need to worry about" in the English-French
relationship. "I'm not minimizing that." But he said it was the
relentless, 24/7 pace of the job — and not recent controversies over
bilingualism and French immersion — that led him to leave now.
Subject of complaint
Léger
was the subject of a conflict of interest complaint to the province's
integrity commissioner last fall but he said that was not a factor in
his departure.
He said the confidential complaint is "pretty much dead and over with" and said it involved a lease.
"That was someone that wanted something, and in my job I said no, and the individual was unhappy."
Integrity Commissioner Charles Murray wouldn't comment and would not confirm whether there had been a complaint against Léger.
In
a statement, Higgs said Léger's business and political experience
"benefited our office, our province, and the PC Party during these past
four and a half years.
"During his time as chief of staff, we
worked together to navigate through an unprecedented global pandemic,
while still moving forward with platform commitments we made to New
Brunswickers."
"We also grew our party from a minority to a majority," he said, referring to the 2020 election.
Premier Blaine Higgs said an interim replacement “will be decided and
announced at an appropriate time in the future.” (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
The premier's statement said an interim replacement "will be decided and announced at an appropriate time in the future."
Turner
pointed out that the position "is a high-pressure, high-intensity job,"
and most people in the position don't last four years.
Léger
first became involved with the PC Party as as youth member during
Richard Hatfield's time as premier. He is the son of Omer Léger, a
Hatfield-era cabinet minister.
Léger worked as a political
staffer to provincial and federal PC cabinet ministers and also worked
as a communications consultant.
He was also on the board of the Conservative Fund, the fundraising arm of the federal Conservative Party.
Jacques
Poitras has been CBC's provincial affairs reporter in New Brunswick
since 2000. He grew up in Moncton and covered Parliament in Ottawa for
the New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal. He has reported on every New
Brunswick election since 1995 and won awards from the Radio Television
Digital News Association, the National Newspaper Awards and Amnesty

Brunswick politics and history.

T.J. Harvey is the first to announce his bid to become leader of the
N.B. Liberal party
Gary Moore · CBC News · Posted: Jun 19, 2021 6:18 PM AT | Last Updated: June 19
T.J. Harvey was the M.P. for Tobique-Mactaquac from 2015 to 2019. (Submitted)
T.J. Harvey, the former Liberal MP for the riding of
Tobique-Mactaquac, is running to be the next leader of the New
Brunswick Liberal Party.
Harvey is expected to make a formal announcement on Tuesday in
Fredericton, but he confirmed his intentions Saturday.
"I'm very much a person of action," Harvey said. "So when I decide to
do something, I want to do it then."
Harvey was elected as MP in 2015, but didn't seek re-election in 2019.
He left federal politics to go back to work in the private sector.
But he said he's been thinking about entering provincial politics for
some time.
"I think with provincial politics it's more hands on, and you have the
ability to see the change that you are trying to affect more clearly."
The provincial Liberals confirmed Harvey is the first person to
officially enter the leadership race.
Political newcomer Kevin Vickers last held the post, taking over as

following the election in September 2020. (CBC/Mike Heenan )
Vickers led the party through a snap election in September 2020 that
was called by the Progressive Conservative minority government of
Blaine Higgs.
In that election, Higgs won a majority while the Liberals lost five
ridings that they won in 2018. They also lost roughly three per cent
of the popular vote.
Vickers failed to win a seat in the legislature and stepped aside as
leader of the party.
Roger Melanson, MLA for Dieppe, took over as interim leader of the
party shortly after the election.
The New Brunswick Liberal Association is still working on rules for
the leadership race.
But Harvey said he's looking forward to beginning his campaign.
"What's most important at this time is to get out and meet with as
many New Brunswickers from all different parts of the province and
have the hard conversations with them," he said.

Liberal supporter says nomination convention left 'horrible taste'
Theresa Blackburn says she saw party members pressured into voting for
winning nominee T.J. Harvey
CBC News · Posted: Nov 11, 2014 1:41 PM AT
Theresa Blackburn says the Tobique-Mactaquac federal Liberal party
candidate nominating convention has turned her off federal politics.
(YouTube)
A woman who signed up to support the federal Liberals says she's
through with federal politics after seeing the process up close.
Theresa Blackburn, a Woodstock town councillor who attended the recent
Tobique-Mactaquac nominating convention, says that what she witnessed
was a disappointment and she wants nothing to do with party politics.
"It leaves with you with a horrible taste in your mouth."
Blackburn attended the Nov. 1 convention to pick a federal Liberal
candidate — her first-ever involvement.
She says she saw supporters of winning nominee T.J. Harvey pressure
party members into voting for him.
That echoes complaints by candidate Rick Lafrance — a school teacher
who Blackburn supported, and who lost the nomination race to Harvey.
Lafrance has filed a formal complaint with the Liberal party over
alleged paperwork improprieties and other tactics.
Defeated Liberal candidate alleges rival violated rules
"I want the good people of Tobique-Mactaquac to know what happened at
that nomination," he said.

party over rules being broken during a recent nomination convention.

Monday was the second day Harvey didn't speak to CBC News to respond
to the accusations as he'd promised.
Blackburn says the federal Liberals need to investigate the process.
"You would think that the rules would be such that people can't in any
way shape or form get around them. But there are so many loopholes,"
she said.
At a time when parties talk about reaching out to disaffected voters
to get them more involved, this episode sends the wrong message, she
says.

Irving
Oil executive Andy Carson, right, at a legislature committee hearing
into industrial property tax issues in 2019. (Ed Hunter/CBC)
The
New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development
is acknowledging it hid the name "Andy C" in correspondence it
released to CBC News about the department's involvement in an Irving
Oil application in front of the Energy and Utilities Board, although it
is not clear why
"Andy C" appears to be a reference to Andy Carson, a senior executive with Irving Oil.
The
name was redacted in an email chain between department officials who
were working on a government effort last winter to support Irving Oil
Ltd.'s attempt to win higher petroleum margins from the EUB.
"Have
you heard anything from Andy C?" read the original email between civil
servants, which was released to the CBC in February with the last five
letters blanked out.
An
email to Blaine Higgs from his chief of staff, Louis Leger, on Jan. 5
showed the premier was deeply involved in a government effort to help
with Irving Oil's request for fuel price increases. (GNB)
However,
late last week the full sentence was provided following a CBC News
complaint to the New Brunswick ombud's office about a number of
redactions in material supplied by the department.
The full
complaint has not been resolved, but in a letter last Friday the
department's deputy minister Tom MacFarlane wrote to disclose that one
of the redactions involved blanking out the name "Andy C."
"The
Department has reviewed the previously withheld records and engaged in
discussion with the Office of the Ombud," wrote MacFarlane. "Please find
enclosed a revised record."
CBC's request for information from
the department centred on a Jan. 5 application by Irving Oil to the New
Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board to raise petroleum wholesale
margins in New Brunswick by amounts that, if awarded, would have cost
consumers about $1 million a week in increased fuel costs.
Shortly
after the increase was applied for, a letter over the signature of Mike
Holland, the minister of natural resources and energy development, was
sent to the EUB in support of Irving Oil's request for an "expedited"
review of its application.
Holland was criticized by a number of
parties for contacting the independent board, but records obtained by
CBC News following a right to information request showed he had little
to do with writing the letter or the decision to send it.
It was
produced by a team of civil servants working for days on strategies on
how the government might assist Irving Oil and was submitted directly to
Premier Blaine Higgs for approval.
The
"Andy C" email was written late in the day Dec. 29 by assistant deputy
minister Bill Breckenridge to department director Heather Quinn as
senior officials scrambled to prepare for a briefing requested by Higgs
on Irving Oil's plans to ask for fuel price increases a week later.
MacFarlane,
the deputy minister, was notified at 7 p.m. on the 29th of the
premier's desire for an update and, despite the hour and the
holidays, immediately sent instructions to Breckenridge to find details.
Tom
MacFarlane, deputy minister of natural resources and energy
development, revealed last week that 'Andy C' was the name hidden in the
release of emails to CBC News last winter. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
"Can
someone confirm with IOL [Irving Oil Ltd.] or EUB if the request has
been made and if not when it is expected," wrote MacFarlane.
At 8:40 in the evening, Breckenridge did the same to Heather Quinn.
"I
hope you had a nice Christmas," read his note "And I hate to bother you
but as per the following: have you heard anything from Andy C?"
No
one in the Department of Natural Resources connected to those emails
was available Friday to confirm if Andy C is a reference to Irving Oil
executive Andy Carson, what he was being consulted about, or why the
department tried to keep the name secret.
Carson is Irving Oil's director of energy transition and a former head of the company's public affairs division.
Irving
Oil Ltd. applied to the EUB for 'urgent' wholesale price increases in
January but abandoned the application in March. Government documents
revealed the province attempted to find ways to help the company. (Devaan Ingraham/Reuters )
If
the redaction was meant to dispel any impression the department was
coordinating with Irving Oil about its desire for price
increases, Higgs has already acknowledged the two bodies were in
contact.
In a March interview he said there had been discussions
with the company about its troubles and what it wanted prior to the
application being made in January.
"I was aware of what they were seeking to do," Higgs told CBC News.
"They would have been presenting their case to cabinet, some members, not necessarily all members."
Initially,
the Department of Natural Resources claimed it was not required to
disclose "Andy C" under exceptions allowed if doing so would be "harmful
to a third party's business or financial interests." However, that
argument has been abandoned.
Carson did not respond to an email asking if he knows whether the reference in the government correspondence is to him.
Irving Oil eventually abandoned its application for higher wholesale prices in March.
PRESS BRIEFING: Observations from UNI's President and Chief Executive Officer on technological transition
PRESS BRIEFING: Observations from UNI's President and Chief Executive Officer on technological transition
Caraquet, September 27, 2023 — Camille Thériault,
President and Chief Executive Officer of UNI Financial Cooperation,
presents his observations following UNI’s transition to a new financial
platform.
“Over the past six weeks, my observations have led me to say that I
have confidence in this platform, which is used by other top-performing
institutions around the world,” says Camille Thériault. In his opinion,
claiming that UNI was ready to deliver the new system created false
expectations. “This was a very ambitious project with very little time
planned to test this new financial platform,” says Mr. Thériault.
“We need to give ourselves time to come up with the right solutions
to fix the imperfections,” he explains. “You have to know how to evolve
over time while technology is essential. We have dared, we are going to
learn from this experience, and we are going to get better.”
With $5.4 billion in assets and 1,000 employees, UNI Financial Cooperation, celebrating its 87th
anniversary this year, is a major economic player that contributes
actively to a thriving, growing economy in New Brunswick and beyond.
UNI is committed to values of solidarity, responsibility and courage
for the greater benefit and prosperity of the organization and its
members and clients. To learn more, visit uni.ca.

Due to the unusual situation of leading a government with no parliamentary opposition, PremierFrank McKenna named backbench members of his caucus to form a shadow cabinet.
Thériault was the leader of this "unofficial opposition", which met
daily when the house was in session to prepare questions of Question Period of which the ministers would be given no notice.
Following the 1991 election,
some balance was restored to the legislature with the opposition
parties holding 12 of 58 seats and the "unofficial opposition" was not
continued. Thériault was named to cabinet as Minister of Fisheries. In 1994, he was appointed Minister of Advanced Education and Labour[1]
Thériault was re-elected in 1995 and became Minister of Economic Development—a key role in the McKenna government.[1]
When McKenna announced his resignation in 1997, Thériault, who
was long expected to be the favourite in the race to succeed McKenna as
Liberal leader, ceded the early position of front-runner to charismatic Finance MinisterEdmond Blanchard. However, Blanchard soon dropped out of the race.
Thériault left cabinet to campaign for the leadership of the Liberals, as did his two opponents, Education Minister Bernard Richard and junior cabinet minister Greg Byrne.
Byrne, a relative unknown before the race, caught momentum during the
race, though Thériault managed to win on the first ballot. As leader of
the governing Liberals, he soon became premier.
He rejigged the cabinet upon being sworn-in, changing some
departments and decreasing its overall size. He pledged to bring in
many new programs, focussing on social services, in contrast to the
fiscal conservatism of McKenna, but felt he should win a mandate of his
own before instituting any major changes.
The opposition Progressive Conservatives had themselves just chosen a leader, the young Bernard Lord,
an unknown with no political experience. Thériault waited for Lord to
contest a seat for the legislature and get some experience in the House
before calling a vote. In doing so, Thériault gave up one of the key
advantages of the incumbency, letting it be widely known months in
advance that the election would be held in June 1999.
Thériault and his Liberals seemed to have underestimated Lord's
Conservatives over whom they enjoyed a double-digit lead in early opinion polls. In the early days of the campaign, Lord reversed his earlier position, shared with the government, supporting highway tolls on the new divided route from Fredericton to Moncton.
Lord used his new pledge to remove the tolls as the centrepiece of his
campaign, he effectively used the issue as the prime example for the
arrogance of the government and also incorporated his pledge into his
"200 Days of Change" promise—20 key commitments Lord said he would
implement within his first 200 days in office.
Thériault largely ignored Lord's surging campaign as he felt the
Liberals would easily cruise to victory—a feeling mirrored in polls
right up until the last week. On June 7, election, the Tories
won their largest victory ever, taking 44 of 55 seats. Thériault's
concession speech was very gracious and was seen as probably his best of
the campaign. He remarked that "the people have spoken, and the people
are never wrong." In that election, the Liberals were reduced from 45
seats to just 10.
Thériault stayed on as leader of the opposition and was seen as effective in the role. Despite this, the Liberals lost two by-elections
in early 2001 that had been vacated by former Liberal cabinet ministers
moving to federal politics. In March of that year, Thériault resigned
his seat and as leader of the Liberals.

Je vous dis que si ça avait été fait en 2010, on ne serait pas ici, aujourd'hui, pour débattre d'une augmentation de 9 %, affirme-t-il. Parce
qu'il y avait des engagements très clairs là-dedans que les
augmentations n'iraient jamais plus haut que le coût de la vie.
Un contexte défavorable
Selon
lui, le contexte n'est pas du tout favorable à une telle augmentation.
Il cite l'inflation, l'augmentation des évaluations foncières et la
réforme municipale qui fait augmenter les taxes.
Il remet en question la gestion d'Énergie Nouveau-Brunswick. S'ils ont absolument besoin de cet argent-là, ils font preuve selon moi d'un manque flagrant de gestion efficace, précise-t-il. Parce qu'à 9 %... c'est quand même une entreprise publique.

Mayor of Caraquet regrets that NB Power was not sold to Hydro-Québec
René Landry (go to the author's page) Posted on January 23, 2023
rene.landry@radio-canada.ca
If
the sale of New Brunswick Power to Hydro-Quebec could have been
concluded in 2010, there would not be requests for "exaggerated"
increases in electricity rates today, according to the mayor of
Caraquet, Bernard Thériault .
The New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board held a consultation in this municipality for the very first time on Monday. Consultation of the Energy and Utilities Commission in Caraquet.
Only
a dozen people, including a group of NB Power employees, attended
Monday's Energy and Utilities Board consultation in Caraquet.
Only
one citizen of Caraquet spoke at the microphone: Mayor Bernard
Thériault. According to him, an increase in electricity tariffs of 8.9%
is exaggerated.
The former chief of staff of former Liberal premier Shawn Graham regrets that New Brunswick Power was not sold to Hydro-Québec.

The
transaction, which had been negotiated behind the scenes between the
New Brunswick and Quebec governments, had aborted, after raising an
outcry.
"I tell you that if it had been done in 2010, we would
not be here today to discuss a 9% increase," he says. "Because there
were very clear commitments in there that the increases would never go
higher than the cost of living."
An unfavorable context
According
to him, the context is not at all favorable to such an increase. He
cites inflation, the increase in property assessments and the municipal
reform which increases taxes.
He questions the management of New
Brunswick Power. "If they absolutely need that money, I think they are
showing a flagrant lack of effective management," he says. "Because at
9%...it's still a public company."
The Energy and Utilities
Commission has also canceled its consultation forum which was to take
place in Grand Falls on Tuesday, since no participants registered.

Consultations on a possible 8.9% increase in electricity rates in N.B. NB Power wants to increase electricity rates by 8.9% NB Power's failed sale called the missed opportunity of the century
Mr. President, dear Commissioners, and dear fellow citizens,
I cannot accept the 8.9% increase in electricity rates. Even if Mr.
Higgs is right
that NB Power's huge debt needs to be brought under control is not the
right way to go about it. Here are some reasons why.
Start with the NB Power Board of Directors. Why do we have Board
members who are non-residents of NB? Why the president of advice is an
American?
Then there are the salaries of more than $100,000 among our employees.
It must be remembered that the upper third of the income of the
population is $70,000 and more per year. It means that the lower
two-thirds are much less. It's like NB Power is a cow
fat as we say in English. According to Mr. David Amos, NB Power's
accounting is not
independently verified. He is a whistleblower regarding fraudulent activities
of the KPMJ company.
Follows the field of research and development. NB Power, i.e. we, have
no the financial means to do research. Mini-nuclear power plants are a
beautiful example of research well beyond our means. Hydro-Québec has
a real laboratory, this is where people who want to do research can
go. Otherwise we will reliving laughable experiences as we have seen
with the company JOY Entertainment. As for the development, it comes
from the workers on the ground. For example, an editor line can see,
after years of experience, that a piece of equipment wears in a way
particular. He can realize that by moving it a little, his lifespan
increases. this is good, but the ego of the superiors and the
administration comes into play and often the idea is lost.
Then there is the entrepreneurial spirit in big projects that does not
go with our ability to
to pay. Why renovate the Mactaquac dam when we have 5 billion in debt? Why
we maintain the Point Lepreau Generating Station? For Americans?
Our natural environment was my primary reason for becoming a case
worker. #375 and #452 even if it is very difficult for me to speak
publicly. In particular, the transcript of January 22, 2020 of
Instance #452, pages 1120 and following, should be reread.
Interesting, there is three years already… Electromagnetic fields are
creating a smog that is becoming more and more denser with serious
effects on everything around us, including ourselves. I you refers to
the documents of Dr. Héroux and Dr. Miller presented during the two
proceedings mentioned. With that, I would like to introduce you to
what an RF wave meter measures. In this room. It quantifies the level
of electromagnetic smog. The scale used by the device is according to
the recent studies which are carried out independently of the
industry. Not according to studies used by Health Canada.
The transition from an analog to a digital system results in a huge
loss energy on several levels. Looking up a word in a dictionary does
not have the same expense
energy than looking for it on the internet. Also, the digital system
continues to evolve and to each time you have to buy other devices.
Sometimes it is the device itself that is defective! Just think of
your cell phones and smart meters. You have to remember that
mechanical counters last more than thirty years… Dr. Tatoutchoup
explained well why smart meters are not a good financial decision for
N.B. must see or review his report presented during proceeding #452.
This digital shift is a illusion: a false path. Moreover, remember
what Mr. Bill Morneau, the former Minister of federal finances, said
when he spoke about this energy transformation. He said that this
technology will allow us to save money so that we can buy more
“stuff”: A nice environmentalist mentality.
Far too much emphasis is placed on electric vehicles. Maybe one day
this will be the reality but not in the near future. So why try to
pretend it's okay change our reality now? In the meantime, let's leave
it to others to make exorbitant expenses that are completely
unnecessary and let's invest when the technology is ripe.
Humanity is growing exponentially now, but our planet is as big as
that! So let's try to understand the importance of accepting our
reality and stop believing that our needs can be met without any
limits. Unfortunately, our system decision-making is taken by the
industry. A good example is that Mr. Amos is practically the only one,
if not the only one intervening in this proceeding who does not
represent any company.
I know I'm not telling you anything, but you had to be told for it to
be recorded. Thanks for taking the time to listen.
Yours faithfully,
Roger Richard
Le 23 janvier, 2023. Instance #541. Caraquet.
M. le Président, chers commissaires, et chers concitoyens,
Je ne peux accepter l’augmentation de 8,9% des tarifs d’électricité.
Même si M. Higgs a raison qu’il faut contrôler l’énorme dette
d’Énergie NB, ce n’est pas la bonne façon de s’y prendre. Voici
quelques raisons pourquoi.
Il faut commencer par le conseil d’administration d’Énergie NB.
Pourquoi avons-nous des membres du conseil d’administration qui sont
non résidents du N.-B.? Pourquoi le président du conseil est un
Américain?
Ensuite il y a les salaires de plus de 100,000$ chez nos employés. Il
faut se rappeler que le tiers supérieur des revenus de la population
est 70,000$ et plus par année. Ça veut dire que les deux tiers
inférieurs sont beaucoup moins. C’est à croire qu’Énergie NB est une
vache grasse comme on dit en anglais. Selon M. David Amos, la
comptabilité d’Énergie NB n’est pas vérifiée de façon indépendante. Il
est un lanceur d’alertes concernant les activités frauduleuses de la
compagnie KPMJ.
Suit le domaine de la recherche et développement. Énergie NB,
c’est-à-dire nous, n’avons pas les moyens financiers pour faire de la
recherche. Les mini-centrales nucléaires sont un bel exemple de
recherches bien au-dessus de nos moyens. Hydro-Québec a un vrai
laboratoire, c’est là que les gens qui veulent faire de la recherche
peuvent aller. Autrement nous allons revivre des expériences risibles
tel que nous l’avons vu avec la compagnie JOY Entertainment. Quant au
développement, il provient des travailleurs sur le terrain. Par
exemple, un monteur de ligne peut voir, après des années
d’expériences, qu’une pièce d’équipement use d’une façon particulière.
Il peut réaliser qu’en la déplaçant un peu, sa durée de vie augmente.
Ceci est bien, mais l’égo des supérieurs et de l’administration rentre
en jeu et souvent l’idée est perdue.
Ensuite il y a l’esprit entrepreneurial dans de gros projets qui ne va
pas avec notre capacité de payer. Pourquoi rénover le barrage de
Mactaquac lorsqu’on a 5 milliards de dettes? Pourquoi qu’on entretient
la centrale de Pointe Lepreau? Pour les Américains?
Notre environnement naturel a été ma raison première pour devenir
intervenant aux l’instances #375 et #452 même s’il m’est très
difficile de parler publiquement. En particulier, la transcription du
22 janvier 2020 de l’Instance #452, pages 1120 et suivantes, sont à
relire. Intéressant, il y a trois ans passés déjà… Les champs
électromagnétiques créent un smog qui devient de plus en plus dense
avec des effets graves sur tout ce qui nous entoure y compris nous
même. Je vous réfère aux documents de Dr Héroux et Dr Miller présentés
lors des deux instances mentionnés.
Sur ce, j’aimerais vous présenter ce qu’un compteur des ondes des
radiofréquences mesure dans cette salle. Il quantifie le niveau du
smog électromagnétique. L’échelle utilisée par l’appareil est selon
les études récentes qui sont réalisées de façon indépendante de
l’industrie. Pas selon les études qu’utilise Santé Canada.
Le passage d’un système analogique à un système numérique entraîne une
énorme perte d’énergie à plusieurs niveaux. Chercher un mot dans un
dictionnaire n’a pas la même dépense d’énergie que de le chercher sur
l’internet. Aussi, le système numérique continue d’évoluer et à chaque
fois il faut acheter d’autres appareils. Parfois c’est l’appareil même
qui est défectueux! On n’a qu’à penser à vos téléphones cellulaires et
aux compteurs intelligents. Il faut se rappeler que les compteurs
mécaniques durent plus de trente ans… Dr Tatoutchoup a bien expliqué
pourquoi les compteurs intelligents ne sont pas une bonne décision
financière pour le N.-B. Il faut voir ou revoir son rapport présenté
lors de l’instance #452. Ce virage numérique est une illusion: une
fausse route. D’ailleurs, se rappeler ce que M. Bill Morneau, l’ancien
ministre des finances fédérales, a dit lorsqu’il parlait de cette
transformation énergétique. Il a dit que cette technologie nous
permettra d’épargner de l’argent pour nous permettre d’acheter plus de
« stuff »: Une belle mentalité environnementaliste.
Beaucoup trop d’importance est accordée aux véhicules électriques.
Peut-être qu’un jour ce sera la réalité mais pas dans un avenir
proche. Donc pourquoi essayer de prétendre que ça va changer notre
réalité maintenant? Entre temps, laissons donc aux autres de faire des
dépenses exorbitantes parfaitement inutiles et investissons lorsque la
technologie sera à point.
L’humanité croît de façon exponentielle présentement, mais notre
planète est grosse comme ça! Essayons donc de comprendre l’importance
d’accepter notre réalité et de cesser de croire que nos besoins
peuvent être satisfaits sans aucunes limites. Malheureusement, notre
système décisionnel est pris par l’industrie. Un bel exemple est que
M. Amos est pratiquement le seul, si-non le seul, intervenant dans
cette instance qui ne représente aucune compagnie.
Je sais que je ne vous apprends rien, mais il fallait vous le dire
pour que ce soit enregistré. Merci d’avoir pris le temps d’écouter.

Bernard Thériault (Caraquet, November 12, 1955 - ) is an Acadian historian and politician.
After
high school at the Polyvalente Louis-Mailloux in Caraquet, Mr.
Thériault completed a Bachelor of Arts at the Université de Moncton and
then a certificate in museum administration from the École
internationale de Bordeaux in 1982. He found a job as a historian and
chief curator of the Village historique acadien. He is involved in
several community organizations in the Acadian Peninsula, including the
Festival acadien de Caraquet, the Théâtre populaire d'Acadie, the
Caraquet Chamber of Commerce, in addition to sitting on the Board of
Directors of the daily newspaper L'Acadie Nouvelle. 1.
Elected
Member of Parliament for Caraquet in the sweep of Frank McKenna's
Liberals in the 1987 provincial general election, Mr. Thériault chaired a
committee of the Legislative Assembly tasked with finding a position on
the Meech Lake Accord file that took into account reservations of the
new government. After several prevarications, the committee finally
recommended that the government ratify the constitutional agreement in
the spring of 1990.
Re-elected three times — in 1991, 1995 and
1999 — Mr. Thériault joined the Cabinet on April 27, 1994, as Minister
of Fisheries, a position he held for three years. He was transferred to
the Ministry of Intergovernmental and Aboriginal Affairs on July 21,
1997, a position he held until the defeat of Camille Thériault's
Liberals in the 1999 general election. He also held the position of
Minister of Education. for three months, in 19981.
Shortly after
his departure from provincial politics, he ran as a Liberal candidate in
the 2000 federal election in the riding of Acadie—Bathurst, where he
was defeated by outgoing NDP MP Yvon Godin.
Thériault then
redirected his career and joined the federal public service. He works at
the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in Moncton, where he held
various positions, including a stint as special advisor to the minister
on aboriginal issues and director of aboriginal fisheries for the Gulf
of St. Lawrence region. His appointment will be challenged by a
colleague. After investigation. it will nevertheless be confirmed on
appeal to the Public Service Commission of Canada2.
New Brunswick Liberal Premier Shawn Graham appointed him chief of staff shortly after his election in 20063.
He
was elected mayor of the city of Caraquet in the election of May 10,
2021 for a four-year term.4
https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1928749/elections-municipale-nouveau-brunswick-
candidate [archive].
He was elected by acclamation on October
28, 2022 mayor of the new town of Caraquet (effective January 1, 2023)5,
a new entity resulting from the reform of municipal governments in New
Brunswick, including the former units of Caraquet, Bas- Caraquet,
Saint-Simon, Pokesudie, Village-Blanchard, Evangeline, as
well as elements of the former entities of Pokemouche (75%), Maltempec

PRÉSENTATION DE M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT, MAIRE DE
CARAQUET
M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE CARAQUET): Donc Monsieur, Mesdames
membres de la Commission, personnel, permettez-moi d’abord au nom de
la Ville de Caraquet de vous remercier d’avoir choisi Caraquet.
Vous avez raison de dire que je
pense que c’est une première historique de voir
votre Commission venir siéger et que ça se passe à
Caraquet. On est en... On apprécie énormément.
Si vous pouviez rester jusqu’à
jeudi soir, il y a un historien, Clarence Lebreton,
qui fait une conférence sur l’arrivée de la Gorton-
Pew en 1939 qui aussi coïncide.
Il va nous raconter ça jeudi soir,
avec l’arrivée de N.B. Power dans la Péninsule
Acadienne. C’était en 1939 que le courant est
descendu de Bathurst, qui eux étaient
approvisionnés, bien sûr, en raison du moulin là-
bas, mais qui ont descendu.
Grosse année en 1939. On a eu de
l’asphalte, on a eu de l’électricité et puis on a
eu une usine qui a duré pendant 80 ans et qui a
joué un rôle très important dans la communauté.
Ça, c’est mon... Je commence
toujours par un petit paragraphe historique et
après ça je me lance là-dedans.
J’ai choisi de venir intervenir
d’abord pour signifier l’importance du geste que
vous avez posé en venant ici et je pense que la
communauté méritait, là, de vous saluer d’abord et
2 de vous remercier mais également de faire valoir
3 quelques points de vue qui selon nous sont
4 importants dans cet exercice-là.
5 Ceux qui m’ont connu savent
6 pertinemment que j’ai, dans une autre vie, eu accès
7 à beaucoup d’information au sujet de ces
8 augmentations de tarifs, quand j’ai été au Cabinet,
9 au bureau du Premier Ministre.
10 Je vous dirais également pour la
11 petite histoire que j’ai fait partie de la première
12 équipe de négociation qui a voulu vendre Énergie
13 Nouveau-Brunswick à Hydro-Québec en 2009 et peut-
14 être que je terminerai ma question tout à l’heure
15 en disant que peut-être on devrait y songer de
16 nouveau, de voir s’il y a une façon plus économique
17 et puis pour les Néo-Brunswickois de faire de
18 l’électricité et de servir ses gens.
19 Mais le premier propos que je veux
20 amener, je veux l’amener à titre de Président par
21 intérim du Forum des maires de la Péninsule
22 Acadienne.
La Péninsule Acadienne, avant le
2 1er janvier, avait quatorze municipalités, quatorze
3 villes et villages, et qui sont réunis généralement
4 sous une organisation qui s’appelle le Forum des
5 maires, qui discute de ces problèmes et de ces
6 ensembles-là.
7 Depuis le 1er janvier, le nombre de
8 municipalités, comme vous le savez, a été réduit à
9 six, et l’ensemble du territoire de la Péninsule
10 Acadienne, sauf la municipalité de Tracadie, est
11 maintenant sous une nouvelle gouverne, sous un
12 nouveau gouvernement municipal, mais qui ont
13 toujours les mêmes préoccupations.
14 À ce niveau-là, sans considérer
15 ceci comme une position officielle du Forum des
16 maires, on peut déjà vous dire qu’il y a une
17 certaine nervosité dans la gestion des
18 gouvernements municipaux parce que ce transfert à
19 une nouvelle forme de gouvernance a créé également
20 des défis financiers pour les nouvelles
21 municipalités.
22 Sans vous donner de chiffres,
23 chacune des municipalités aura à subir des coûts
d’augmentation dans ces fusions-là.
2 On sait particulièrement que les
3 districts de services locaux, et je prends
4 l’exemple de Caraquet, mais je pense que ça
5 s’appliquerait ailleurs, mais les citoyens dans les
6 districts de services locaux vont connaître des
7 augmentations de taxes de 5 à 18 cents au 100 $
8 d’évaluation, justement pour contribuer à cette
9 nouvelle forme de gouvernement.
10 Donc, il y a déjà une pression
11 très forte sur les citoyens de donner de l’argent
12 pour ces services, et c’est évident qu’une
13 augmentation de 8.9 % de tarif électrique pourrait
14 rajouter déjà à une pression très forte par ces
15 citoyens qui trouvent ou qui se voit déjà augmenter
16 énormément.
17 Deuxièmement, tous et chacun
18 d’entre-nous ont également constaté que depuis au
19 moins une bonne dizaine d’années, peut-être pas 10
20 ans mais proche, mais il y a presque chaque année
21 une augmentation de 3 %, de 3 % d’augmentation des
22 tarifs.
23 Dans mes vieilles années, je ne
sais pas si c’est toujours le cas, mais en bas de
2 3 % il n’y avait pas d’appel qui se faisait chez-
3 vous. Est-ce que c’est toujours ça?
4 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
5 LA COMMISSION): Ça l’avait changé en 2014. Donc,
6 Énergie Nouveau-Brunswick devait se présenter
7 devant nous annuellement mais il y a eu une
8 modification l’année à la Loi et puis là ils
9 peuvent déposer une demande annuellement ou qu’ils
10 peuvent déposer une demande pour trois ans.
11 Donc cette année, c’est une
12 demande annuelle, et puis il reste à savoir qu’est-
13 ce qui va se passer.
14 M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
15 CARAQUET): D’accord. Donc on a constaté... Si ma
16 mémoire est bonne, je suis revenu à Caraquet en
17 2008, où j’avais des tarifs d’électricité à 6.7 %
18 et ils sont à 11.8 % ou quelque chose du genre,
19 donc il y a déjà eu des augmentations
20 considérables.
21 C’est probablement la source
22 d’énergie qui augmente le plus rapidement, sauf
23 dans la dernière année où l’essence et les produits
pétroliers ont fait un boum.
2 Ce que l’on déplorerait et qu’on
3 déplore toujours c’est le fait que ces demandes
4 d’augmentation là, peut-être, qu’ils s’inscrivent
5 dans leur demande, ne nous indique pas toujours
6 clairement qu’est-ce qui va être fait avec
7 l’argent.
8 On ne sait pas, par exemple...
9 Et ce qui nous préoccupe dans le nord de la
10 Province, c’est l’avenir de la Centrale électrique
11 de Belledune, qui nous nourrit, et dans une
12 moindre mesure la centrale au Diesel de Sainte-
13 Rose, qui est toujours, je pense, juste une source
14 d’appoint.
15 Alors nous, on aimerait
16 comprendre s’il y a des fonds qui vont nous
17 assurer qu’on a un approvisionnement électrique de
18 bonne qualité et que nos régions également vont
19 servir à la production d’électricité et puis de
20 bénéficier du développement économique consacré par
21 tout ça.
22 Alors ça, c’est une première
23 question qu’on peut se poser.
Deuxièmement, est-ce que la
2 demande peut indiquer... Et ça, ça inquiète les
3 gens ici, par exemple de l’état des lignes de
4 distribution et des efforts qui sont faits pour le
5 mettre à jour.
6 Je sais qu’aujourd’hui, M.
7 McGrath... Il y a une équipe... J’ai été retardé
8 ici parce qu’il y a une équipe d’Énergie Nouveau-
9 Brunswick qui avait réparé...
10 On n’a absolument pas à se
11 plaindre des services qu’on reçoit mais les gens
12 veulent savoir si devant le réchauffement
13 climatique qui se présente, si effectivement la
14 Société d’énergie hydro-électrique prévoit des
15 remises à état et des renouvellements des lignes de
16 distribution qui sont très fragiles et qui vont
17 l’être davantage avec le vent, avec la pluie, avec
18 l’érosion, et on est toujours, bien sûr, sous la
19 nervosité de voir comment on s’en sortirait si des
20 tempêtes...
21 On en a eues cette année et on
22 doit dire qu’en touchant du bois, on a été
23 relativement chanceux, même s’il n’y a pas plus
tard que le 24 décembre, on a connu encore...
2 Mais les gens veulent savoir,
3 effectivement, si Énergie Nouveau-Brunswick va
4 prendre de ces augmentations de revenus là pour
5 remettre à état toutes ces situations.
6 Autre point d’importance, c’est
7 bien sûr la somme importante. 8.9 %... C’est
8 7.9 % ou 8.9 %?
9 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
10 LA COMMISSION): 8.9 %.
11 M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
12 CARAQUET): Oui. Ils ont fait ça comme un marchand.
13 Ils ont arrondi juste en bas du...pour ne pas que
14 ça ressemble à 8, là.
15 Oui. 8 %, c’est très important.
16 Il n’y a pas d’équivoque là-dedans et dans une
17 contexte économique difficile, dans une inflation
18 galopante, même s’il y a des indications qui nous
19 disent que ça pourrait se stabiliser mais dans une
20 grande pression, surtout dans notre région, où
21 l’industrie de la pêche a subi des contre-coups
22 l’an passé, on pourrait se questionner si les
23 cadres financiers d’Énergie Nouveau-Brunswick
n’auraient pas pu répartir ces augmentations,
2 s’ils en ont véritablement besoin, sur plusieurs
3 années.
4 C’est exorbitant, selon nous, et
5 le contexte économique instable et les efforts que
6 l’on fait tous pour attirer des nouveaux arrivants
7 fait en sorte qu’on peut questionner la pertinence
8 d’une augmentation de cette ampleur-là à ce stade
9 ici de notre activité économique, et c’est ça qu’on
10 demanderait peut-être aux actionnaires, de
11 s’assurer que les choses se font bien.
12 Sur un plan un peu plus méga pour
13 Énergie Nouveau-Brunswick, on demande aussi s’ils
14 ont des plans pour la centrale électrique de
15 Mactaquac, qui doit être reconstruite ou réaménagée
16 dans des années ou dans les décennies qui vont
17 suivre et qui va nous assurer, à moyen ou à long-
18 terme, un avenir, une fourniture de l’électricité
19 verte.
20 Finalement, je sortais ce matin
21 d’une rencontre avec le Comité vert de la
22 communauté.
23 On peut aussi poser des questions
si ces augmentations de tarifs là tiennent compte
2 d’une diversification de la production électrique
3 avec l’énergie solaire ou encore les panneaux ou
4 l’énergie solaire ou l’énergie éolienne qui
5 pourrait aussi voir notre région profiter
6 d’investissements majeurs dans ce domaine-là.
7 Ça fait un peu le tour de notre
8 préoccupation. Je pense qu'on peut résumer en
9 disant qu'on est inquiets que comme résident de la
10 Péninsule acadienne, comme gestionnaire des
11 municipalités ou des services gouvernementaux, de
12 voir une augmentation comme celle-là.
13 Vous comprendrez que pour
14 certaines personnes... J'ai vérifié hier,
15 justement, pour vous dire que des factures
16 d'électricité de plus de 1 000 $ sont maintenant...
17 Je ne dirai pas commune, mais ce
18 n'est pas des exceptions. Pour des gens qui sont
19 dotés d'une maison qui n'a pas trop subi de
20 transformation, ça peut coûter 800 $, 900 $,
21 jusqu'à 1 000 $ par mois en consommation, ça veut
22 dire jusqu'à 7 500 KW/heure par mois, ce qui est
23 appréciable.
Donc je vous dirai tout
2 simplement, au nom des citoyens de la Péninsule,
3 qu'on vous demanderait d'intervenir et de proposer
4 ou de suggérer aux décideurs des tarifs
5 d'augmentation beaucoup plus bas que ceux-là.
6 Merci beaucoup.
7 Est-ce que je reste au banc des
8 accusés? Non?
9 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
10 LA COMMISSION): Ce n’est pas un banc d’accusé, dans
11 la façon que moi je comprends de...
12 M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
13 CARAQUET): Oui.
14 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
15 LA COMMISSION): Donc je vous remercie beaucoup,
16 Monsieur le Maire, de votre présentation.
17
18
19 PÉRIODE DE QUESTIONS SUR LA PRÉSENTATION DE M.
20 BERNARD THÉRIAULT:
ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
23 LA COMMISSION): Vous avez parlé tout à l’heure de
toute la question du réseau de distribution.
2 M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
3 CARAQUET): Oui.
4 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
5 LA COMMISSION): Et puis je pense qu’il y avait une
6 année où est-ce qu’on avait eu une tempête de
7 verglas et puis...
8 M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
9 CARAQUET): En 2016.
10 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
11 LA COMMISSION): C’était en 2016? Puis je vais tout
12 le temps me souvenir. J’avais été faire une
13 présentation, je pense que c’était à Calgary, puis
14 je parlais des tempêtes de verglas puis j’avais
15 utilisé ça comme un exemple puis je pense que ça
16 avait cassé comme des « toothpicks ».
17 M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
18 CARAQUET): Oui.
19 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
20 LA COMMISSION): Alors, j’aimerais juste... Juste
21 pour que vous puissiez élaborer un peu, vous avez
22 parlé que le système de distribution avait de
23 l’argent à mettre dedans, mais je peux comprendre
qu’il y a des efforts qui ont été faits par Énergie
2 Nouveau-Brunswick.
3 M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
4 CARAQUET): Absolument. Je dirais même, si je
5 voulais défendre Énergie Nouveau-Brunswick, que les
6 grosses tempêtes de la semaine passée ou du mois de
7 décembre ont heureusement fait que le système a
8 soutenu, pour l’essentiel je dirais,
9 La grande majorité des pannes, et
10 M. McGrath, le Directeur d’Énergie Nouveau-
11 Brunswick de Tracadie, pourrait le confirmer, mais
12 sont surtout occasionnées par des arbres qui
13 tombent sur le réseau.
14 Le réseau a été renouvelé, il n’y
15 a pas d’équivoque, mais c’est une question
16 davantage qu’un constat que j’amenais là, à savoir
17 si effectivement on tient compte de toutes ces
18 réalités-là, des régions ou des zones d’érosion
19 également, où il y a des routes qui sont parfois
20 emportées, et cetera.
21 Mais cette fois-ci, je pense que
22 c’est ça, c’est surtout des arbres qui causent...
23 Et ça aussi, Énergie Nouveau-Brunswick fait des
efforts là.
2 On a eu des appels à la Ville
3 cette semaine, là, pour leur donner le feu vert sur
4 certaines espaces où ils veulent prévenir en
5 coupant des arbres.
6 On ne remet pas en question
7 d’aucune façon le travail d’Énergie Nouveau-
8 Brunswick, on veut juste probablement mieux
9 comprendre qu’est-ce qui s’est passé depuis 2016
10 parce qu’il y a un certain traumatisme à la
11 population.
12 Les gens se rappellent énormément.
13 Nous à la Ville, ça nous force aussi à avoir des
14 plans d’actions où on a des carences dedans et on
15 se dit: « Il va falloir qu’on trouve... »
16 On n’a pas par exemple dans la
17 nouvelle entité et même dans l’ancienne, je pense,
18 des plans d’urgence fonctionnels.
19 J’ai fait valoir à mon personnel
20 le 24 décembre qu’on a seulement appris par la
21 suite qu’il y avait des pans de notre ville qui
22 n’ont pas eu d’électricité pour 24 heures puis on
23 n’a pas de mécanisme qui nous redonnait le
« feedback » sur ces questions-là.
2 Ça, ça n’a pas de rapport avec
3 Énergie Nouveau-Brunswick mais nous aussi, je pense
4 qu’il faut qu’on agisse un petit peu plus
5 consciemment parce que c’est inévitable que ça va
6 se reproduire de nouveau.
7 Mais la question n’était peut-être
8 pas la remise en question de l’état du réseau, mais
9 j’aimerais qu’Énergie Nouveau-Brunswick me dise,
10 c’est leur responsabilité à eux de nous dire quel
11 est l’état du réseau et quels sont les efforts
12 qu’ils sont prêts à prendre pour le maintenir à
13 jour et l’améliorer, si nécessaire.
14 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
15 LA COMMISSION): Donc selon vous, est-ce qu’il y a
16 un problème au point de vue de la végétation
17 alentour des lignes de distribution?
18 M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
19 CARAQUET): Bien, c’est-à-dire qu’il y en a toujours
20 eu un. Parfois c’est sur le long de la route.
21 C’est toujours un conflit.
22 Je vous dirai que la majorité des
23 pannes, dans les cas de tempête, c’est quand les
arbres tombent et la plupart du temps ce sont des
2 arbres qui longent une forêt ou quelque chose comme
3 ça.
4 Je ne dirais pas qu’il y a un
5 problème chronique, mais ce sont des défis, sans
6 équivoque, oui.
7 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
8 LA COMMISSION): Puis est-ce que dans le... Puis je
9 ne suis peut-être pas dans une position pour
10 commenter ou pour savoir, mais est-ce que ça a été
11 un problème dernièrement?
12 Est-ce que le réseau, vous avez eu
13 des pannes compte tenu de...
14 M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
15 CARAQUET): Bien, on en a eu à la tempête du 24
16 décembre, la dernière grosse tempête, tempête de
17 vent là, partout dans la Péninsule Acadienne.
18 Nous dans la ville de Caraquet, la
19 nouvelle ville là, les régions de Landry Office et
20 Maltampec, Sainte-Anne-du-Bocage, ont connu des
21 problèmes.
22 Le tout a été réglé, je dirais,
23 pour l’ensemble, dans 24 heures, même s’il y a eu
des exceptions où ça ne s’est pas rendu là.
2 Mais moi ce que je dis à la Ville
3 c’est qu’il faut qu’on se dote d’un mécanisme avec
4 nos mesures d’urgence qui nous permet de savoir,
5 par le biais de certaines communications, qui est
6 toujours en panne et puis dans ces régions-là,
7 quels sont les personnes qui potentiellement
8 seraient le plus vulnérables, pour pouvoir ou pour
9 qu’on puisse aller les aider ou au moins s’informer
10 s’ils ont besoin d’aide.
11 Mais le pire a été prévenu, le 24,
12 on ne s’est pas rendu à ce niveau-là. La tempête
13 de glace de 2016, elle, a créé des problèmes qui a
14 dépassé les deux semaines, où il y a eu des
15 victimes et puis...
16 Mais ça a réveillé les gens. Les
17 gens sont beaucoup plus près qu’ils l’étaient, mais
18 il y a encore des niveaux de préparation qu’il faut
19 s’améliorer dessus.
20 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
21 LA COMMISSION): La tempête de 2016 était, je pense,
22 une tempête hors de l’ordinaire.
23 M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
CARAQUET): Oui, absolument. Il y a absolument une
2 reconnaissance.
3 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
4 LA COMMISSION): Lorsque vous avez mentionné que les
5 gens se sont dotés de certains mécanismes pour se
6 préparer, est-ce que votre communauté ou vos
7 communautés, les gens se sont dotés de génératrices
8 ou...
9 M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
10 CARAQUET): Oui, je dirais qu’ici dans la région,
11 Bas-Caraquet s’est dotée d’une salle communautaire
12 avec une génératrice.
13 Nous, on a des centres de
14 réchauffement, mais qui ne sont pas tous dotés de
15 génératrices.
16 Mais il y a beaucoup de maisons
17 se sont équipées de génératrices individuelles
18 avec des entrées électriques qui conviennent à ça
19 ou...
20 Mais, il y a encore des gens qui
21 sont dans le besoin, et puis c’est ça que nous,
22 nous avons comme responsabilité, d’identifier qui
23 sont les plus vulnérables et comment on peut les
aider.
2 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT
3 DE LA COMMISSION): Vous avez aussi mentionné que
4 vous êtes parti d’un genre de réseau de forum de
5 maires.
6 M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
7 CARAQUET): Oui, le Forum des maires. C’est une
8 organisation qui a au moins une trentaine d’années,
9 je dirais, dans la Péninsule Acadienne, qui
10 regroupe d’une façon...
11 C’est quand même un organisme à
12 but non-lucratif, une structure formelle, là, qui
13 regroupe tous les maires de la Péninsule Acadienne,
14 qui se rencontre. On discute sur une base
15 régulière pour discuter des enjeux politiques, et
16 cetera.
17 Là, la structure méritera d’être
18 réorganisée puisqu’on avait 14 municipalités, 14
19 maires qui siégeaient dessus, et maintenant ça va
20 être réduit à six.
21 Je suis président... J’étais...
22 Je suis... J’étais vice-président de l’ancien
23 système et là je suis vice-président par intérim,
jusqu’à ce qu’on rencontre les nouveaux maires, là,
2 d’ici quelques semaines, on l’espère.
3 Eux discutent d’un ensemble de
4 projets communs pour supporter des fois des
5 demandes pour se plaindre ou pour provoquer des
6 changements, et cetera, et on discute de tous ces
7 enjeux-là.
8 Je vous dis aujourd’hui qu’on n’a
9 pas eu de réunion pour planifier cette rencontre
10 ici. Je prends la liberté d’exprimer des
11 préoccupations qui sont générales, parce qu’on sait
12 que les nouvelles municipalités, toutes ou bien
13 cinq des six, à l’exception de Tracadie, sont
14 maintenant sous des changements majeurs, avec une
15 nouvelle structure de gouvernance.
16 Chacun de nous, et ça je le sais
17 de source sûre, rencontre des défis financiers pour
18 tout mettre ça ensemble, parce que les
19 gouvernements nous ont imposé des changements
20 qu’ils n’ont pas nécessairement financés, ça fait
21 qu’ils ont probablement...
22 C’est ce qu’on est en train de
23 mesurer, voir qu’il y a des services qui étaient
assumés par la Province qui maintenant sont la
2 responsabilité des nouvelles communautés puis qu’il
3 y aurait un coût sur les taxes.
4 On a déjà déterminé, dans la
5 première ronde de budget, qu’il y a de 5 cents...
6 Je pense dans le cas de la municipalité de
7 Caraquet, de 5 à 22 cents du 100 $ d’évaluation,
8 qui sont augmentés pour les districts et services
9 locaux.
10 Dans le cas de la plupart d’eux,
11 les gouvernements ou le gouvernement provincial,
12 qui est un peu le maître d’oeuvre de ce nouvel
13 exercice-là, a limité les augmentations annuelles à
14 5 cents, si bien que ça va se faire sur quelques
15 années.
16 Pendant ce temps-là, le manque à
17 gagner très souvent est financé par les
18 municipalités existantes, qui ont dû elles aussi
19 augmenter leurs taxes.
20 Ça fait que c’est pour ça que je
21 dis que c’est un mauvais moment de voir trois
22 phénomènes qui se sont passés dans les dernières
23 semaines, dans les dernières années, qui mettent de
la pression sur les résidents.
2 D’abord, on a une inflation
3 galopante, ça fait que la difficulté pour les
4 citoyens d’avoir la même capacité de dépenser
5 qu’ils avaient avant.
6 Le deuxième phénomène, une
7 augmentation presque générale des évaluations
8 foncières, depuis deux ans, qui fait que l’année
9 passée, si ma mémoire est bonne, celle de la
10 province ou générale, là...
11 Certaines villes ça pouvait aller
12 jusqu’à 17 % à 20 % d’augmentation de la valeur des
13 propriétés, ce qui a bien sûr une incidence sur les
14 augmentations ou les taxes que ces gens-là vont
15 payer.
16 Et troisièmement, la
17 réorganisation municipale va aussi amener des
18 augmentations de taxes. Ils vont recevoir la
19 facture dans les prochaines semaines.
20 Ça fait que si on dit, si le
21 gouvernement a d’autres outils qui peut aider ou
22 contrôler, et bien celui de ralentir dans la
23 mesure du possible l’augmentation des tarifs
électriques devrait être tenu compte par le
2 gouvernement.
3 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
4 LA COMMISSION): Je vais vous poser la question
5 suivante, puis peut-être que vous n’avez pas eu la
6 discussion---
7 M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
8 CARAQUET): Oui.
9 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
10 LA COMMISSION): ---entre vous et puis vos
11 collègues,---
12 M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
13 CARAQUET): Oui.
14 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
15 LA COMMISSION): ---mais je me demande, est-ce qu’il
16 n’y a eu aucune discussion entre vos forums ou
17 votre...---
18 M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
19 CARAQUET): Oui.
20 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
21 LA COMMISSION): ---vos ou bien les différents
22 maires relativement au niveau d’endettement de la
23 société?
M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
2 CARAQUET): Écoutez, pas à ce niveau-là, mais tout
3 le monde... Certains diront que le problème date
4 de longtemps.
5 Déjà, le « cost overrun » de
6 Lepreau était là mais Énergie Nouveau-Brunswick, la
7 société, a été chanceuse parce qu’il y a une baisse
8 importante des coûts d’énergie dans les 15
9 dernières années, surtout en raison du gaz de
10 schiste, et cetera, afin qu’ils n’ont pas eu à se
11 préoccuper de ça.
12 Si on est méchant, on peut dire
13 que c’est peut-être ce qui se passe présentement.
14 Les taux d’énergie ayant augmenté, maintenant il
15 faut trouver une autre façon de financer...
16 Ce qu’il y a d’inquiétant là-
17 dedans c’est que peut-être que c’est ça, la
18 Société, dans sa structure actuelle, n’est peut-
19 être pas viable, quand les coûts de...
20 Et tout le monde savait que dès
21 que les coûts de l’énergie redeviendrait standard,
22 parce qu’on sait qu’on a eu un bas presque
23 historique dans les 10 dernières années, avec le
gaz de schiste et tout ce qui peut nous arriver des
2 États-Unis, si bien que...
3 Les maires n’en ont pas discuté
4 mais je dirais que je pourrais vous amener au café
5 le matin, là, dans les différents cafés en ville,
6 puis on aurait des bonnes discussions là-dessus
7 avec beaucoup de citoyens qui sont préoccupés par
8 ça.
9 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
10 LA COMMISSION): Du niveau d’endettement?
11 M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
12 CARAQUET): Du niveau d’endettement, exactement, et
13 surtout de la nécessité de refaire des
14 infrastructures, des barrages, surtout celui de
15 Mactaquac.
16 Lepreau, bien ils l’ont refait il
17 y a 10 ans. Il doit rester 15 ans sur sa vie. Il
18 me semble que c’était des exercices de 25 ans, mais
19 toute la question du nucléaire est un problème,
20 même si la crise de l’énergie qu’on vit
21 présentement veut comme réhabiliter cette démarche-
22 là.
23 Mais ici, ce qui inquiète
davantage, c’est l’avenir de Belledune.
2 Et si au moins ces
3 investissements-là nous permettaient de voir qu’il
4 y a des efforts pour sauver les investissements
5 qu’on a dans le Nord, bien ça déjà ça pourrait être
6 rassurant.
7 Mais c’est un peu des questions
8 que j’ai posées dans cette exercice ci.
9 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
10 LA COMMISSION): Parfait.
11 ME HEATHER BLACK (MEMBRE DE LA
12 COMMISSION): Non, merci.
13 MME STEPHANIE WILSON (MEMBRE DE LA
14 COMMISSION): Non, pas d’autres questions, merci.
15 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
16 LA COMMISSION): Bien je vous remercie beaucoup,
17 Monsieur le Maire, pour votre participation.
18 M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
19 CARAQUET): Merci, et puis vous reviendrez.
20 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
21 LA COMMISSION): Puis merci beaucoup pour
22 l’hospitalité qu’on a reçue depuis qu’on est
23 arrivé, d’ailleurs.
J’apprécie bien vos efforts,
2 merci.
3 M. BERNARD THÉRIAULT (MAIRE DE
4 CARAQUET): Ça fait plaisir, merci.
5 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
6 LA COMMISSION): Merci, Monsieur.
7 Donc je pense que la prochaine
8 personne que nous avons c’est le Dr Richard.
PRÉSENTATION DU DR ROGER RICHARD
11
12 DR ROGER RICHARD: Monsieur le
13 Président, chers commissaires et chers concitoyens,
14 je ne peux accepter l’augmentation de 8.9 % de
15 tarif d’électricité.
16 Même si M. Higgs a raison qu’il
17 faut contrôler l’énorme dette d’Énergie Nouveau-
18 Brunswick, ce n’est pas la bonne façon de s’y
19 prendre. Voici quelques raisons pourquoi.
20 Il faut commencer par le Conseil
21 d’administration d’Énergie Nouveau-Brunswick.
22 Pourquoi avons-nous des membres du Conseil
23 d’administration qui sont non-résidents du Nouveau-
Brunswick? Pourquoi le président du Conseil est un
2 Américain? Ensuite, il y a les salaires de plus de
3 100 000 $ chez les employés.
4 Il faut se rappeler que le tiers
5 supérieur des revenus de la population est de
6 70 000 $ et plus par année. Cela veut dire que le
7 2/3 inférieur sont beaucoup moins.
8 C’est à croire qu’Énergie Nouveau-
9 Brunswick est une vache grasse, comme on dit en
10 anglais.
11 Selon M. David Amos, la
12 comptabilité d’Énergie Nouveau-Brunswick n’est pas
13 vérifiée de façon indépendante.
14 Il est annonceur d’ailleurs
15 concernant les activités frauduleuses de la
16 compagnie KPMG.
17 Suit le domaine de la recherche et
18 du développement.
19 Énergie Nouveau-Brunswick, c’est-
20 à-dire nous, n’avons pas les moyens financiers pour
21 faire de la recherche.
22 Les mini-centrales nucléaires sont
23 un bel exemple de recherche bien au-dessus de nos
moyens. Hydro-Québec a un vrai laboratoire. C’est
2 là que les gens qui veulent faire de la recherche
3 peuvent aller.
4 Aujourd’hui, nous allons revivre
5 des expériences risées, tel que nous l’avons vu
6 avec la compagnie Joi Entertainment.
7 Quant au développement, il
8 provient des travailleurs sur le terrain. Par
9 exemple un monteur de ligne peut voir, après des
10 années d’expérience, qu’une pièce d’équipement use
11 d’une façon particulière. Il peut réaliser qu’en
12 la déplaçant un peu, sa durée de vie augmente.
13 Ceci est bien, mais l’ego des supérieurs et de
14 l’administration entre en jeu et souvent, l’idée
15 est perdue.
16 Ensuite, il y a l’esprit
17 « entrepreunal » dans de gros projets qui ne va pas
18 avec notre capacité de payer.
19 Pourquoi rénover le barrage de
20 Mactaquac lorsqu’on a 5 milliards $ de dette?
21 Pourquoi qu’on entretient la centrale de Pointe-
22 Lepreau? Pour les Américains?
23 Notre environnement naturel a été
une raison première pour devenir intervenant aux
2 instances 375 et 452, même s’il m’est très
3 difficile de parler publiquement.
4 En particulier, la transcription
5 du 22 janvier 2020 de l’instance 452, page 1120 et
6 suivantes, sont à relire. Intéressant, il y a déjà
7 trois ans.
8 Le son électromagnétique créé un
9 smog qui devient de plus en plus dense, avec des
10 effets graves sur tout ce qui nous entoure, y
11 compris nous-mêmes.
12 Je vous réfère au document du Dr
13 Héroux et Dr Miller présenté lors des deux
14 instances mentionnées.
15 Sur ce, j’aimerais vous présenter
16 ce qu’un compteur d’ondes des radiofréquences
17 mesure dans cette salle.
18 Monsieur le Président, vous
19 avez l’appareil devant vous. Si vous voulez
20 l’allumer?
ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE LA COMMISSION): Juste pour vous...
Docteur Richard, on a résolu ce chose-là, puis je peux comprendre que
vous essayez de nous faire mention de ce genre de radiofréquence là.
Malheureusement, vous avez eu la chance de faire les arguments. On a
essentiellement rendu notre décision. On est ici aujourd’hui afin de
vous entendre sur l’augmentation de 8.9 %, donc si vous voulez,
j’ai... C’était problématique d’avoir ce genre d’appareil-là. On n’est
pas ici pour ça aujourd’hui. Donc si vous voulez vous adresser
relativement à l’impact ou s’il y a un impact ou s’il n’y a pas
d’impact relativement à la demande d’augmentation ou toute autre
demande qu’Énergie Nouveau-Brunswick a faite dans l’instance 541. On
va entendre vos commentaires mais les commentaires relativement aux
ondes radiophoniques, nous avons rendu notre décision puis je vous
demanderais peut-être de passer à autre chose.
21 DR ROGER RICHARD: O.K. Le passage
22 d’un système analogique à un système numérique
23 entraîne une énorme perte d’énergie à plusieurs
niveaux.
2 Chercher un mot dans le
3 dictionnaire n’a pas la même dépense d’énergie que
4 de le chercher sur Internet.
5 Aussi, le système numérique
6 continue d’évoluer et à chaque fois, il faut
7 acheter d’autres appareils. Parfois, c’est
8 l’appareil même qui est défectueux.
9 On n’a qu’à penser à vos
10 téléphones cellulaires et au compteur intelligent.
11 Il faut se rappeler que le compteur mécanique dure
12 plus de 30 ans.
13 Dr Tatoutchoup a bien expliqué
14 pourquoi les compteurs intelligents ne sont pas une
15 bonne décision financière pour le Nouveau-
16 Brunswick. Il faut voir ou revoir son projet
17 présenté lors de l’instance 452.
18 Ce virage numérique est une
19 illusion, une fausse route. D’ailleurs, se
20 rappeler ce que M. Bill Morneau, l’ancien ministre
21 des Finances fédérales a dit, lorsqu’il parlait de
22 cette transformation énergétique.
23 Il a dit que cette technologie
nous permettra d’épargner de l’argent pour nous
2 permettre d’acheter plus de « stuff ». Une belle
3 mentalité environnementaliste.
4 Beaucoup trop d’importance est
5 accordé aux véhicules électriques. Peut-être qu’un
6 jour, ce sera la réalité mais pas pour un avenir
7 proche.
8 Donc pourquoi essayer de prétendre
9 que ça va changer notre réalité maintenant?
10 Entre-temps, laissons donc aux autres de faire des
11 dépenses exorbitantes parfaitement inutiles et
12 investissons seulement lorsque la technologie sera
13 à point.
14 L’humanité croît de façon
15 exponentielles, présentement, mais la planète est
16 grosse comme ça (geste).
17 Essayons donc de comprendre
18 l’importance d’accepter notre réalité et de cesser
19 de croire que nos besoins peuvent être satisfaits
20 sans aucune limite.
21 Malheureusement, notre système
22 décisionnel est pris par l’industrie. Un bel
23 exemple est que M. Amos est pratiquement le seul ou
sinon le seul intervenant dans cette instance qui
2 ne représente aucune compagnie.
3 Je sais que je ne vous apprends
4 rien mais il faut vous le dire pour que ce soit
5 enregistré.
6 Je vous remercie.
ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE LA COMMISSION):
Je vous remercie beaucoup, Docteur Richard, d’avoir pris le temps de
venir nous adresser relativement à la demande. Juste un point de
clarification.
Ce n’est pas la première fois qu’on entend vos... Puis ce n’est pas un
point critique mais vous faites souvent référence à Joi Entertainment
mais selon ce que moi je peux comprendre, ça s’appelait Joi
Scientific. Donc je ne pense pas que c’est vraiment un « entertainment
» de la part d’Énergie Nouveau-Brunswick et donc peut-être, dans le
futur, si vous présentez de nouveau, juste faire référence au vrai nom
de cette dépense-là, qui était Joi Scientific.
Alors merci beaucoup d’avoir venu ici. Donc, je crois que la distance
entre Richibucto à ici, c’est une bonne distance, alors merci de vous
avoir déplacé aujourd’hui pour venir
nous adresser.
5 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
6 LA COMMISSION): As-tu des questions pour...
7 ME HEATHER BLACK (MEMBRE DE LA
8 COMMISSION): Non, merci.
9 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
10 LA COMMISSION): toi, as-tu des questions?
11 ME STEPHANIE WILSON (MEMBRE DE LA
12 COMMISSION): Non, je n’ai pas de question.
13 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
14 LA COMMISSION): O.K.
15 ME STEPHANIE WILSON (MEMBRE DE LA
16 COMMISSION): Merci.
17 ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (PRÉSIDENT DE
18 LA COMMISSION): Bien merci beaucoup, Docteur
19 Richard.
20 Donc si je me rappelle... Donc,
21 il y avait deux personnes aujourd’hui qui s’étaient
22 enregistrées pour venir nous adresser.
23 Donc ça, ça va conclure les
ME FRANÇOIS BEAULIEU (CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMISSION):
Just for you... Dr. Richard, we solved that thing, then I can
understand that you are trying to mention this kind of radiofrequency
to us. Unfortunately, you had a chance to make the arguments. We
basically made our decision. We are here today to hear you on the 8.9%
increase, so if you want, I have... It was problematic to have that
kind of device. We are not here for that today. So if you want to
speak on the impact or if there is an impact or if there is no impact
on the increase request or any other request that New Brunswick Power
has made in case 541. We are going to hear your comments, but the
comments regarding the radio waves, we have rendered our decision and
then I would perhaps ask you to move on.
Thank you very much, Dr. Richard, for taking the time to come and
speak to us about the request. Just a point of clarification.
It's not the first time that we hear your... Then it's not a critical
point but you often refer to Joi Entertainment but according to what I
can understand, it was called Joi Scientific. So I don't think it's
really an "entertainment" on the part of New Brunswick Power and so
maybe, in the future, if you present again, just refer to the real
name of this expense, which was Joi Scientific.
So thank you very much for coming here. So I believe the distance from
Richibucto to here is a good distance, so thank you for moving today
to come contact us.
Following his election defeat, he began to work for the federal civil service
from 2000 to 2006. On October 12, 2006 it was announced that he would
be leaving his federal post to become chief of staff to the new Liberal
premier Shawn Graham effective October 30, 2006.
Joël
Michaud, a lawyer for CUPEs, says the union is waiting for the result
of the public-sector workers' vote on a tentative agreement before
deciding what to do about the lawsuit filed against the province. (Shane Magee/CBC)
The
Canadian Union of Public Employees is not abandoning its court
challenge of the province's use of emergency legislation to force
striking health-care staff back to work.
CUPE had asked for an emergency hearing Monday to put a pause on the emergency order while its legality was decided.
But because
staff went back to work after negotiators reached a tentative agreement
over the weekend, the emergency hearing was adjourned.
Union lawyer Joël Michaud said that while the emergency hearing is cancelled, the legal challenge is still on.
"It's
certainly on, at least until ratification," he said. "If the
hospital-sector's members don't ratify, then we're right back to square
one."
On
Sunday, CUPE and the province separately announced a temporary end to
the two-week strike by 22,000 public-sector employees, including school
bus drivers, educational support staff and workers in transportation,
corrections and the community college system.
The employees will
vote on a tentative agreement with the government this week and decide
Friday if the strike is over or if they will go back on the picket
lines.
Health-care workers out for a shorter time
Some
support staff in the health-care sector were part of the strike for
a week but were ordered back to work by the province on Nov. 7.
Attorney
General Ted Flemming imposed an emergency order that said if any of
them continued to strike, they could face thousands of dollars in fines.
And the "employee organization" they're a member of would be fined a
minimum of $100,000, with no maximum limit, for each day they don't
comply.
In its challenge, CUPE alleged the order contravened the
workers' right to freedom of association and to belong to a certain
organization. They also alleged the fines exceeded what's allowed
through the Emergency Measures Act, and constitutes "cruel and unusual
punishment," which also contravenes the Charter or Rights.
Michaud
said that even if the agreement is accepted, the union may continue the
challenge to get clarity on whether using the province's Emergency
Measures Act to stop a strike is legal in general.
"There may be,
you know, long-term utility in having a decision for all parties
involved, frankly, for government as well," Michaud said. "There could
be … a pretty clear statement of the court as to whether or not acting
this way was legal.
Or the union could abandon the challenge, Michaud said. The union has yet to decide what to do.
Even if CUPE wants to go ahead, Michaud said, the court could decide that the issue is moot if the order is permanently lifted.
Methinks the Union lawyer Joël Michaud should review the emails I sent him N'esy Pas?

Schools to reopen Monday after province, CUPE reach tentative agreement
Schools moved to online learning on Nov. 1 after province locked out
striking education workers

CUPE workers are shown striking in Fredericton on Oct. 31. New
Brunswick reached a tentative deal with the union on Saturday;
students are expected to return to classrooms in the coming days.

Schools in New Brunswick will reopen on Monday after the provincial
government reached a tentative agreement with the Canadian Union of
Public Employees late Saturday.
"I know that the last couple of weeks have been challenging for
students and parents," Premier Blaine Higgs said in a press conference
Sunday. "There's no replacement for in-classroom learning."
More than 22,000 public sector workers are now expected to return to
work after being on strike for more than two weeks.
Tentative agreements were reached Saturday night with seven of the
union's locals, Higgs said.
Schools closed on Oct. 29 and moved to online learning after about
3,000 workers that included custodians, bus drivers, school library
assistants and administrative support went on strike.
Community colleges, where CUPE workers are also employed, are expected
to reopen to students on Tuesday.

"I'm optimistic," Higgs added. "I really believe people want to get
back to work."
Higgs declined to comment on contract terms.
CUPE New Brunswick president Steve Drost said negotiations over the
past few days have been painful and tedious, but he's excited to
present it to workers after everything they went through.
"Both sides were able to make compromises in the best interest of the
province," he said.
The new wage offer will allow workers to keep up with cost of living
in the province, he said. The 10 locals involved in strike action will
be voting this week, with votes expected to wrap up by Friday.

conference last weekend. He described the negotiations as 'painful and
tedious.' (CBC)
"I think that we've been able to achieve labour peace for New
Brunswick. I'm very confident that we've made some historic gains here
for workers," Drost said. "I couldn't be prouder of the workers."
Both parties have also reached an agreement regarding pension plans
that were being offered to locals 2745 and 1253, Drost said.

CUPE takes province to court over back-to-work emergency order
Previously the premier had been demanding the locals convert their
pension plans into the shared-risk system already in place for most
other provincial employees, a major sticking point in the labour
dispute.
"We were able to achieve language in terms of a memorandum of
understanding on that, whereby it's not necessarily a conversion to
shared risk," Drost said.
A union led court challenge regarding the back to work order that
forced more than 2,000 health-care workers back to work on Nov. 6
scheduled for Monday is still going ahead, he said. The premier has
since confirmed the order has been revoked.
"We have to ensure that people's rights weren't violated," Drost said.
N.B. Liquor stores staying open
A tentative agreement between the province and the local representing
workers with N.B. Liquor was also reached Saturday evening, its
president said.
The workers previously were set to take strike action by Tuesday if a
deal couldn't be reached over the weekend, which would have shuttered
stores.

Tuesday, said the negotiating team is 'very happy' to have reached a
tentative agreement for N.B Liquor workers. (Ed Hunter/CBC)
"The negotiating team is very happy. We're glad to have this done,"
said Jamie Agnew, the president of Local 963.
He wants the public to know there's no need to panic buy. Provincewide
sales reached $2 million on the Wednesday before Remembrance Day, he
said, well over projections of around $500,000.
N.B. Liquor employees poised to strike a week from now if deal not reached
A prior tentative agreement had been reached between the union and
management a year ago.
"We thought we had a tentative agreement in November of 2020, but that
was squashed by Mr. Higgs, so we had to go through this process again,
and ended up taking a strike vote," Agnew said.

CUPE waiting for ratification to decide whether to continue lawsuit
against province
Emergency hearing scheduled for Monday cancelled in light of tentative
contract agreement

Joël Michaud, a lawyer for CUPEs, says the union is waiting for the
result of the public-sector workers' vote on a tentative agreement
before deciding what to do about the lawsuit filed against the
province. (Shane Magee/CBC)
The Canadian Union of Public Employees is not abandoning its court
challenge of the province's use of emergency legislation to force
striking health-care staff back to work.
CUPE had asked for an emergency hearing Monday to put a pause on the
emergency order while its legality was decided.
But because staff went back to work after negotiators reached a
tentative agreement over the weekend, the emergency hearing was
adjourned.
Union lawyer Joël Michaud said that while the emergency hearing is
cancelled, the legal challenge is still on.
"It's certainly on, at least until ratification," he said. "If the
hospital-sector's members don't ratify, then we're right back to
square one."
CUPE takes province to court over back-to-work emergency order
Parents relieved children are back in school, but it may take time
to get back to routine
On Sunday, CUPE and the province separately announced a temporary end
to the two-week strike by 22,000 public-sector employees, including
school bus drivers, educational support staff and workers in
transportation, corrections and the community college system.
The employees will vote on a tentative agreement with the government
this week and decide Friday if the strike is over or if they will go
back on the picket lines.
Health-care workers out for a shorter time
Some support staff in the health-care sector were part of the strike
for a week but were ordered back to work by the province on Nov. 7.
Attorney General Ted Flemming imposed an emergency order that said if
any of them continued to strike, they could face thousands of dollars
in fines. And the "employee organization" they're a member of would be
fined a minimum of $100,000, with no maximum limit, for each day they
don't comply.
In its challenge, CUPE alleged the order contravened the workers'
right to freedom of association and to belong to a certain
organization. They also alleged the fines exceeded what's allowed
through the Emergency Measures Act, and constitutes "cruel and unusual
punishment," which also contravenes the Charter or Rights.

Michaud said that even if the agreement is accepted, the union may
continue the challenge to get clarity on whether using the province's
Emergency Measures Act to stop a strike is legal in general.
"There may be, you know, long-term utility in having a decision for
all parties involved, frankly, for government as well," Michaud said.
"There could be … a pretty clear statement of the court as to whether
or not acting this way was legal.
Or the union could abandon the challenge, Michaud said. The union has
yet to decide what to do.
Even if CUPE wants to go ahead, Michaud said, the court could decide
that the issue is moot if the order is permanently lifted.

> Posted by Merredith Brewer 341sc on May 22, 2013
>
> 22 MAY 2013
>
> Bill 39, the proposed new Electricity Act, was debated yesterday in
> the Legislature during second reading. The Green Party says the debate
> overlooked the key problem with Bill 39. It fails to keep the politics
> out of NB Power.
>
> "Energy Minister Craig Leonard claims that Bill 39 will ensure that NB
> Power will operate like a business, free from political interference,
> but nothing could be further from the truth," said Green party
> leader David Coon. "The dirty little secret is that Cabinet will still
> be in the driver's seat when it comes to determining the most
> important costs associated with running the electrical utility, and
> the costs determine the price of electricity," said Coon.
>
> Unlike provinces such as Nova Scotia, Bill 39 requires NB Power to
> have its business plan, the Integrated Resource Plan, reviewed and
> approved by the provincial cabinet every three years rather than by
> the Energy and Utilities Board (EUB). Furthermore, while proposals for
> costly refurbishments or new power plants will be reviewed by the EUB,
> Cabinet retains the authority to make the final decision.
>
> "Bill 39 gives Cabinet a direct role in approving NB Power
> expenditures, which determine the price the utility must charge for
> its electricity," said Coon. "Bill 39 keeps the politics in NB Power
> which is why the Green Party has been demanding it be sent to
> committee for public hearings," said the Green Party leader.
>

>
> Welcome to today’s special session of the New Brunswick Energy and
> Utilities Board. All members of the Energy and Utilities Board are
> present today, including Vice-Chair, Francois Beaulieu, and Members,
> Michael Costello, Patrick Ervin and John Herron.
>
> Today’s public session will deal with Matter 430, which is NB
> Power’s
> 2019-2020 General Rate Application. In that application, NB Power is
> seeking Board approval for, amongst other things, an average increase
> in rates of 2.5 percent with some customers receiving an increase as
> high as 2.9 percent.
>
> This session of the rate hearing won’t follow the same format
> as we typically use at the formal hearing which will commence in about
> 10 days. Today’s session is intended to be much less formal so
> despite the fact that we are sitting here on the dais and in the front
> of the room and everybody seems to have a jacket and tie on, you
> shouldn’t take that to mean that we are requiring any formality today.
> And the reason that I wanted to emphasize that informality is that we
> really want to encourage members of the general public to come to the
> session and provide their views on these rate applications. Many
> people don’t have the time or the resources to present evidence before
> the Board but still have important contributions to make to the
> process. I want to assure you that your comments are taken seriously
> by the Board.
>
> I want to also point out that NB Power is represented here today over
> in the right-hand side of the room and although they will not be
> making a presentation today, they will be available to hear your
> concerns and to discuss them further following the conclusion of the
> presentations.
>
> Our Public Intervener, Heather Black, is also present and will be
> available to discuss any public interest concerns that you may have
> following today’s presentations.
>
> In addition, we have several members from the Energy and Utilities
> Board Staff who are also available to discuss matters with you.
>
> Each presenter today has been allocated 15 minutes to make his
> or her presentation and before we start with the presentations, I am
> going to invite Mr. Beaulieu to say a few words in French.
>
> CHAIRMAN: Thank you very much. Thank you very much, Mr. Shaw. I
> think that is all the presenters that we had for this afternoon. So
> we will conclude for this afternoon and we will be back at 6:00 p.m.
> Thank you.
>
> (Recess - 4:25 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.)
>
> CHAIRMAN: Good evening, everyone. Bonjour. This session is a
> continuation of our annual public session related to the general rate
> application by NB Power. And we had three excellent presentations
> earlier today.
>
> Before we get started with the presentations this evening, I want
> to point out that there are translation devices available at the back
> of the room. So if anybody feels that they may need that translation
> device, please take this opportunity to get one.
>
> All right. And I just want to -- for those who perhaps haven’t
> appeared before the Board in the past, I want to point out that the
> full Board is present here tonight, including to my left our
> Vice-Chair, Francois Beaulieu, Patrick Ervin to my far left, next to
> me Michael Costello and Mr. Ervin. Did I call him Mr. Ervin? Mr.
> Herron is down there. There, I have got them mixed up.
>
> All right. So would you say a few words in French?
>
> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Bon soir à tous. C’est un continuation de la séance
> public que nous avons débuter cette après-midi. Comme M. le président
> l’a indiqué, nous avons reçu trois bonnes présentations cet
> après-midi. Et puis avant de commencer, nous tenons à souligner que
> les dispositifs a l’arrière pour l’écoute en française si vous voulez,
> et puis cette un séance extraordinaire, un session extraordinaire de
> la Commission. Pis comme vous pouvez le voir, toute le monde est
> présent aujourd’hui, Monsieur le président, M. Gorman, et puis à ma
> gauche, puis M. Herron, at puis M. Costello, puis M. Ervin.
>
> CHAIRMAN: All right. So just before we get started, I should
> indicate as well that we have allocated 15 minutes for each of the
> presenters this evening. So we will start with David Amos.
>
> Mr. Amos, I think you can either take that table or the podium.
> Either one there is a microphone at both so whatever you are most
> comfortable with.
>
> MR. AMOS: Good evening. I presume I can speak for 15 minutes
> uninterrupted?
>
> CHAIRMAN: Yes. You are allocated 15 minutes, that’s correct, Mr. Amos.

> MR. AMOS: First I guess I should thank you for your signature, sir.
> I am probably the only man that wanted to intervene that you barred
> twice thus far. At least this time I have your signature, that and
> Mr. Herron’s and Mr. Costello. Everybody knows I ran against Mr.
> Herron in the election of the 38th parliament. And his lawyer,
> another Queen’s Counsel, David Lutz never answered me. So I filed the
> very same documents that I served upon Mr. Herron and David Lutz in
> 2004. That said, at that time, I believe you were the lawyer for the
> Saint John utilities.
>
> Anyway, Mr. Furey of NB Power, in his opposition to my intervening
> this time, didn’t think my whistle blowing efforts against KPMG
> amounted to anything, even though I gave you the proof I was
> conferring with Diane Lebouthiller, the Commissioner of Revenue
> Canada. Well if you don’t think a whistle blower who understands the
> malice of a law firm and an accounting firm has the right to
> intervene, who also owns property here and is a ratepayer, I don’t
> know who is. If you had said such things of Stephen Harper, he would
> consider it libel. So do I.
>
> The other two fellows that signed, Mr. Herron and Mr. Costello are
> not lawyers. But Mr. Costello and Mr. Ewing both worked for Bell
> Aliant. If you looked at the documents I sent, I even had a request
> for information from their former lawyer for Bell back in 2004. It
> took them four days to print my files.
>
> Anyway, when I first intervened in the 357 Matter, and you asked
> me why I intervened, I introduced myself. And I said every lawyer in
> the room knows who I am. And you do. And you did not stop me from
> intervening in the 357 Matter and I thank you for that. I am still an
> intervener in that Matter.
>
> The next hearing they take -- or Mr. Furey takes documents from
> the 357 Matter, takes out certain documents, uses them against me and
> you barred me without one word in writing. I opposed you delaying the
> 357 Matter with a proper motion and you never answered that motion.
> When you barred me just before you were done, you never put anything
> in writing. So the last time I said, fool me once shame on you, fool
> me twice shame on me. Now Mr. Furey filed a bunch of documents and
> then accused me of things I did not say from a transcript where I was
> never given a recording of it. I never threatened to kill anyone.
> Who are you people to say any different. That said, the last thing I
> said to you, Mr. Gorman, is do you understand the documents that are
> already on file. You wouldn’t answer me.
>
> Mr. Herron, who I have debated in several debates, looked like a
> deer in the headlights. He wouldn’t say one word the whole time we
> were there. As I explained to you, this is a rate increase hearing.
> When -- the last meeting we had at the 357 Matter, none of you guys
> knew what to do because Mr. Gallant wanted to be Premier again. His
> people appointed you to be Chair again.
>
> David Coon, the -- who had lots to say about NB Power when he was
> just a guy, was now opposing Mr. Gallant’s promise to freeze rates for
> at least three years. Well Mr. Gallant isn’t Premier. However, a
> Cabinet Minister’s wife, you allowed to intervene halfway through a
> hearing. Interesting. Then as soon as Mr. Higgs becomes Premier, NB
> Power all of a sudden wants a rate increase. Ain’t that interesting.
> Where is the Green Party.
>
> Now when I first intervened in the 357 Matter, you didn’t want my
> friend Gerald Bourque to intervene because he is a leader of a
> fledgling political party. He is still intervening. Gerald Bourque,
> my friend Roger Richard who I will back up till the cows come home and
> I all ran in the last provincial election. My friend Roger Richard
> clearly stated his issues were Smart Meters. You should still not
> allow Smart Meters until the 357 Matter is heard. I am still an
> intervener there.
>
> I will address your libel against me in the proper venue. In my
> opinion that’s federal court. You are a Queen’s Counsel, you are
> probably aware that New Brunswick does not have a constitution. I
> filed the documents that proved that I was involved in a National
> Energy Board matter in Saint John while you were a counsellor for the
> Utilities. Mr. Morrison, who is hearing a trial of a friend of mine’s
> murder, Dick Oland, was NB Power’s lawyer at the National Energy Board
> hearing. Did not surprise me when Mr. Furey took out his boss’
> documents from those days. He used to work for Brad Green. And yet
> inserts a judgment by Mr. Morrison of Patterson & Palmer about barring
> some woman to speak because she is frivolous and vexatious. I don’t
> know why you think because some woman is frivolous and vexatious that
> I am too. I am no less a man than you.
>
> Now as far as these people in New Brunswick goes, I do speak on
> behalf of my fellow New Brunswicker. The average income, from what I
> read in CBC, of a New Brunswicker is about 31,000. I bet you there is
> not one soul in this room that makes over double that. From these --
> most folks to make a salary of 31,000, it is comprised of a lot of
> people that make a lot less than 31,000 and then a lot of people that
> make a lot more, like the people in this room. But a lot of people
> are like me, seniors getting by on old Age pensions and Canada Pension
> or people working at Tim Hortons and trying to raise a couple of kids.
> And a lot of folks have to balance their heat bill versus their
> grocery bill or their pharma bill. And yet NB Power has got all kinds
> of money for their highest paid employee, a Yankee who makes like
> $750,000 to invest in mini nucs and try to peddle them around the
> world. Well the last thing I know about NB Power, its mandate, is to
> provide my fellow New Brunswickers reliable energy at a reasonable
> price. You make lots of electricity now, in fact, you sell it to
> other jurisdictions. I used to be in business. I would like to have
> $1.7 billion in sales, owed 5 billion. I think I would get out of
> debt pretty quick. You are supposed to have 20 percent equity before
> you invest in Mactaquac. Just from what I look at the books, what
> KPMG says we have for assets I think is what, 6.7 billion, book value
> nearly 5 billion. Well the difference between book value and what the
> assets are, you are already over 20 percent equity. There is no need
> for a price increase. There is no need to borrow money to invest in
> mini nucs for the benefit of a bunch of Yankees. I find all of this
> very aggravating. The reason that you bar me is because I sue lawyers
> and love to argue.
>
> Mr. Gorman, you and I will meet in another court. In my humble
