Dominic Cardy tweets that he is resigning from Higgy's cabinet as Roger Melanson says he will quit on Oct. 21

 
 
 
If making sure the public knows what their premier is doing is inexcusable, well, then I’m happy not to be excused. Province before politics, indeed.

New Brunswick – success stories

Through innovative initiatives and programs, the RCMP works with its partners, connects with communities and supports its people in order to keep Canadians safe.


Calling the shots – Incident commander considers safety on scene

When the RCMP responds to a crisis situation in New Brunswick or Prince Edward Island, deciding when to send in a tactical vehicle, bomb squad or canine unit is Supt. Lucie Dubois's call. As a critical incident commander for this region, she's one of six officers who rotate calling the shots on deploying specialized units. Read about Supt. Dubois's role and the challenges. (January 2019)


Trust is everything – Policing approach forges relationships on Mi'kmaq reserve

To show respect for the First Nations community they police, Cst. Boyd Milliea and other officers at the Elsipogtog RCMP detachment don't wear police hats while working on the reserve. Learn how members work with the community to better understand each other's differences and improve relationships. (January 2019)

When the RCMP responds to a crisis situation in New Brunswick or Prince Edward Island deciding when to send in a tactical vehicle, bomb squad or canine unit is Supt. Lucie Dubois's call. As a critical incident commander for this region, she's one of six officers who rotate calling the shots on deploying specialized units. Patricia Vasylchuk spoke to Dubois about her role and the challenges.

When does an incident become critical?

It becomes critical when there's a high-level threat that requires a strategically planned tactical response that goes beyond what general duty police officers can provide, like when they need help from specialized units like the emergency response and explosives teams.

What incidents are common?

The majority of the incidents we respond to are for armed standoffs. Usually, it's a person who's barricaded themselves and is threatening suicide or threatening to hurt hostages.

What does a critical incident commander do?

A critical incident commander is in charge when the incident is unfolding. So initially, I would get a call from a dispatcher explaining the situation and what on-duty officers have done up to that point. From there, I conduct a risk assessment and determine if specialized teams are needed. When the situation warrants it, I deploy all the specialized teams, like Emergency Response Teams and Police Dog Services, as well as equipment. The critical incident commander is responsible for all planned actions of the specialized units and all the decisions on the ground.

What happens at the scene?

We set up a triangular command structure with all the people and technology we need. In each corner there's the emergency response team lead, the negotiators team lead, and us. Then, together, we decide the next steps. Local police are involved in the response as well. We're there to support them, because once we leave, they will carry on the investigation.

How do you make a decision?

The safety of everyone involved is the priority and that includes the person causing the incident. So we look at the threats, such as the suspect's background and current frame of mind, what weapons are involved, the risk to the public, and even the location and time of day. I also think about my officers. Even though they're well trained and capable, I'm still putting them at risk. We use a measured approach — so the least aggressive — to resolve each situation.

How does location determine the response?

Location often presents challenges whether it be rural or urban. It's very import for the specialized units to have the means to address issues such as distance, low cell reception or areas that can only be accessed via water ways, like Grand Manan Island. These units are constantly working with partner agencies like other police departments and with cell providers to build contingencies or use a different type of technology to overcome the challenges. So we adjust and respond accordingly.

What about weather?

We're able to respond just as well in the winter as we can in the summer. But having people contained in an area while we're negotiating means we have to consider the length of time and the cold.

How many calls do you get?

It varies. You can get three calls in one week or you can have a few weeks with nothing. Last year, we responded to about 20 calls in New Brunswick with full deployments.

How long before an incident is resolved?

In my experience, it's anywhere between four and 24 hours.

What makes it work?

Teamwork is crucial. We have a team of capable, highly trained professionals and specialized units that work well together. We'd never be able to do it without them. I feel 100 per cent confident in the team.

Policing approach forges relationships on Mi'kmaq reserve

By

At the RCMP's Elsipogtog detachment in New Brunswick, an eagle feather rests on top of a dresser in Sgt. Bill Collier's office. Receiving one is the highest honour among Indigenous people.

The eagle feather is Collier's third overall, but the first for the unique way he and other RCMP officers at the detachment are policing the reserve.

An agreement between the community, the province and the RCMP means all parties provide input on community policing matters, including determining the band's priorities. Officers regularly meet with the band chief, council and a group of elders, and participate in Indigenous activities together.

"If you don't have trust, you don't have anything," says Collier about the detachment's approach to policing the band of more than 3,000 First Nations residents.

Candid conversations are helping the groups better understand each other's differences and improve relationships, which help both community living and law enforcement.

Understanding differences

Collier says regular communication diffuses mistrust and resentment that can develop when people don't have a clear understanding of the police process. Educating the community about it is as much a part of policing as kicking in doors, he says.

For Cst. Vanessa DeMerchant and her detachment colleagues, that open approach included participating in healing circles in Elsipogtog.

At the beginning, officers were asked not to bring their guns as a sign of respect, and they complied. But that changed after the 2014 and 2018 shootings in Moncton and Fredericton. Now, DeMerchant says they wear their guns without damaging the trust they've developed with residents.

"Sharing with them what police work looks like, they understand us more," says DeMerchant. "It's nice to have that open communication with people."

Being involved in the band's judicial process is another reason Elsipogtog detachment officers are well respected in the community.

DeMerchant says officers attend sentencing circles, an Indigenous version of a sentencing hearing, which include the offender, members of the community, Crown counsel, police and the judge. Participants sit in a circle each taking turns telling the offender how their actions have affected them or others in the community. The judge considers all statements before sentencing and the approach is meant to help heal the offender rather than only hand down a punishment.

"Attending these circles gives people a relationship with us," says DeMerchant. "It shows them that we follow through. We don't just abandon them."

The detachment — which is made up of 13 police officers and two public service employees — has adjusted some of its own approaches to policing to be more mindful of the culture.

After learning that wearing their hats was considered a sign of intimidation and disrespect to band residents, who are predominantly Mi'kmaq, officers stopped wearing them on the reserve, according to Cst. Boyd Milliea, who grew up in the community.

Common language

Milliea's been using his native language to improve relationships between First Nations people and the police since he worked his first reserve in 2000. When interacting with people he thinks may be Indigenous, he begins the conversation in Mi'kmaq and switches to English only if the other person initiates.

"It's a trust issue. Language tends to be a barrier," says Milliea, who speaks fluent Mi'kmaq, the main language used on the Elsipogtog reserve. "Somehow that tends to calm the situation down."

As a child, Milliea saw his father struggle to understand the local police officers who spoke in a thick French accent, which led to a strained relationship. But it was his first positive interaction with band police that set in motion his future career in the RCMP.

"They were driving by and I called them pigs. They stopped and reversed and started talking to me in my language," says Milliea. "After that, I thought if I worked around the reserve and talked to people the way they did to me, maybe interactions wouldn't be as bad.

Too Too Funny
 
 

Cardy says other ministers frustrated with Higgs should quit, too

Former minister to sit as Independent after clash with premier, expulsion from caucus

Cardy said he was not the only minister who had a problem with Premier Blaine Higgs's leadership style.

"I know that this is certainly the experience of other folks in cabinet, in other departments," Cardy said on Information Morning Fredericton.

"There is simply pressure based on what the premier is feeling on that day, standing in the way of getting what he wants done in government." 

In a subsequent interview Friday, Cardy said he hopes those ministers will think about how to register their objections.

"All you really have in politics in the end is you've won a seat, you're there, you get to make decisions. You have to decide where your values and principles align with the direction that you've been given," he said.

Cardy responds to Higgs’s comments on resignation

Duration 3:41
Dominic Cardy says he'd decided before Blaine Higgs's cabinet shuffle that he would resign as education minister

"If you feel you're being pushed over the lines, I hope that others would take the steps that they think are appropriate." 

Cardy made the comments Friday morning before the PC caucus met and voted to expel him. That means he'll now sit as an independent member of the legislature.

"As a group we found your conduct and your actions most notably over the last few days to be inexcusable," Higgs said in a letter to Cardy released to the news media.

CBC is not responsible for 3rd party content

Cardy resigned Thursday with a scathing two-page letter to Higgs that accused him of meddling in decisions, ignoring data and evidence, and impulsive decision-making he compared to "a wrecking ball."

He said the premier replaced elected health authority boards with appointed trustees in July without consulting his cabinet or caucus.

Higgs has taken the same approach in deciding to rush the implementation of a recommendation to eliminate French immersion by next September, Cardy said.

"You have a premier who often talks about intentionally creating chaos as a way to catalyze change. That may work in some contexts in the private sector but it can be pretty disastrous in the public sector."

Higgs acknowledged Thursday he was looking for quick action on those issues.

He told reporters that he informed Cardy in a meeting he would be shuffling him out of cabinet and that Cardy already had a resignation letter drafted.

But Cardy disputed that version of events Friday morning, saying he took the initiative to resign in his meeting with the premier.

"I said 'I think it's time for us to part ways,'" Cardy said.

Higgs's letter to Cardy expelling him from the PC caucus called the letter "vindictive and misleading."

The former minister, a former provincial NDP leader first elected as a Progressive Conservative MLA in 2018, confirmed Higgs's assertion that he has threatened to resign from cabinet several times before. 

Each time, Cardy said, he managed to convince the premier and his cabinet colleagues "to move in my direction" enough to stay in cabinet.

He said Friday before the caucus vote to expel him that he had no plans to resign his seat and would remain an MLA and vote in a way consistent with the party's philosophy. 

Higgs said Thursday he will ask the PC caucus at the legislature to expel Cardy, which would force him to sit as an independent MLA.

Cardy said he wants the chance to make his case for staying to the caucus and hopes any vote on expelling him will be by secret ballot.

"It is usually not the premier's prerogative to make those calls," he said.

Liberal Leader Susan Holt says there's no room for Cardy in her party. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)

Expelled or not, he said he has no plans to resign his seat before the next election and would support the Higgs government's legislation that conforms to its election commitments.

"I was elected as a PC MLA for Fredericton West-Hanwell and I'm going to continue to do my job based on that," Cardy said.

"I will continue to sit and represent the values and the platform that I was elected to implement and vote accordingly. I've got no plans on going anywhere." 

He said he would not run for the PC leadership if Higgs retires and has no interest in running for the federal Conservatives.

He also ruled out joining the Liberal or Green caucuses, saying he opposes floor-crossing on principle.

Liberal Leader Susan Holt tweeted Friday morning that her party wouldn't welcome Cardy even if he were interested.

"We discussed it as a caucus and agreed it was not something we will pursue," she said.

David Coon, Green Party leader, says if sitting MLAs want to join the Greens, they would have to resign and run as Green candidates in a byelection. (Mrinali Anchan/CBC)

And Green Party Leader David Coon said the only way a sitting MLA could join the Greens would be to resign and run as a Green candidate in a byelection.

Whatever his status in the legislature, Cardy said now that he is free of the requirement for cabinet solidarity, he'll continue to raise his concerns about Higgs. 

"Clearly there's a much broader world outside the four walls of that building, and as an elected official, it's my job to talk about public policy and issues and my perspective on them," he said.

"MLAs are elected to use their judgment to analyze the issues of the day and I'm going to continue to do that in my new role the same way I did in my old role."

Cardy resigns as N.B. education minister, sends scorching letter to premier

Dominic Cardy tweeted Thursday that he's quitting cabinet

Cardy announced in a tweet that he was quitting the cabinet of Premier Blaine Higgs but would stay on as a Progressive Conservative MLA for Fredericton West-Hanwell.

In a scorching resignation letter to Higgs, Cardy slammed the premier's leadership style, saying "change requires care, not a wrecking ball" and some reforms to French second-language education "will stall because of your micromanagement."

"You cannot change deadlines on large systems based on your emotional state, without undermining the quality of the work, or the morale of your team," the letter said.

"Government is not the same as building oil tankers," Cardy wrote, apparently referring to the premier's previous career with Irving Oil. 

He also accuses Higgs of "choosing to yell 'data my ass' at a senior civil servant" because he didn't like what the department's numbers showed. 

"That was the end of your political project in my eyes: If you reject evidence because you dislike it then you don't believe in evidence," he wrote.

Cardy also said Higgs's abolition of partly elected regional health authority boards represented "a steady consolidation of power in your hands" and that he was trying to delay or undermine reconciliation between language communities and with Indigenous people.

Cardy did not immediately respond to a request for an interview.

The resignation letter said Higgs has a plan to "abolish" French immersion by September 2023, something that was recommended by an independent review of the program earlier this year.

Cardy said getting rid of the program was not in the government's election platform or throne speech and has not been approved by the PC cabinet or caucus.

Eliminating it "would place huge stress on the education system and damage the education of our province's anglophone young people," he wrote.

Liberal Leader Susan Holt said the critique in Cardy's letter "seems to reflect what we've been hearing from others and reflects some of the concerns we've had about this government and their approach to leadership."

Cardy, the former leader of the New Brunswick NDP, joined the PCs in 2017 as an adviser to Higgs and ran for the Tories in the 2018 election.

At the time Cardy switched parties, Higgs said they were "directly aligned on so many issues" but acknowledged they would not see eye-to-eye on everything.

"I want people who are going to bring ideas, and are going to bring action, into the group," Higgs said.

"We can work through any minor issues that come up, because I do it every day with everyone."

In 2020, Cardy failed to win enough support from the PC caucus to get a bill passed that would have eliminated philosophical and religious exemptions from the mandatory vaccination policy for school children.

And last year, he criticised the government's ban on provincial officials delivering Indigenous land acknowledgements at public events, saying it "added an unnecessary conflict that is creating confusion and justifiable anger toward our government." 

Cardy has also been a vocal supporter of Centre Ice Canadians, a group of moderate conservatives who have criticized federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre. 

The six chiefs of the Wolastoqey Nation in New Brunswick issued a statement Thursday calling on other PC ministers to join Cardy in resigning. 

"It is more evident than ever that your leader is not operating within the fundamental principles of good governance, nor the aims and principles of the Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick," the statement said.

"Stop standing by and allowing a single person to conduct such harmful practices. Indigenous people, and New Brunswickers, are watching closely and applauding the winds of change."

Former N.B. interim Liberal leader leaves politics for private sector

Roger Melanson, longtime MLA for Dieppe, will resign Oct. 21

Melanson said in a statement Thursday morning he'll resign as the member for Dieppe on Oct. 21.

"The decision to step down was not taken lightly, but it was time to take a different direction with my career," he said.

"I will soon be embarking on a new professional challenge as I take on a role within the private sector."

First elected in 2010, Melanson took over as interim party leader after the Progressive Conservatives won a majority in the 2020 election, reducing the Liberals to 17 seats.

He held senior positions in the government of Premier Brian Gallant from 2014 to 2018, including finance minister.

His departure adds a new wrinkle to the potential timing of byelections that could allow new Liberal leader Susan Holt to get a seat in the legislature.

Restigouche-Chaleur Liberal MLA Daniel Guitard and Bathurst East-Nepisiguit-Saint-Isidore MLA Denis Landry announced earlier this fall that they're leaving to run in November municipal elections for newly created local governments. 

Depending on how they fare in those elections, their resignations may not take effect until December or even January 2023.

Premier Blaine Higgs said he wouldn't speculate about byelection timing until the vacancies are official — meaning those votes likely would not be called until the new year. 

But Melanson's Dieppe seat will be vacant next week, which would allow that byelection to be called sooner.

Liberal MLA Daniel Guitard confirms resignation, plans mayoral run

N.B. Liberal Leader Susan Holt has 2 vacancies to choose from in byelection bid for seat

Restigouche-Chaleur Liberal MLA Daniel Guitard, a former speaker of the legislature, confirmed Tuesday he will resign to run for mayor of the new municipal entity of Belle-Baie. 

And he said he'll take his leave win or lose, which creates another potential opening for new Liberal Leader Susan Holt to win a byelection to get into the legislature.

Guitard says while his seat is strongly Liberal, this is not a case of him handing it over to Holt.

"Some people say I'm offering my seat. That's not the way it is. I'm retiring. … It'll be up to the local association and the provincial association with Ms. Holt to make this decision."

Bathurst East-Nepisiguit-Saint-Isidore MLA Denis Landry also plans to leave to run for mayor of Hautes-Terres in November.

Holt said Tuesday she will announce this week in which of the two ridings she will run for election. 

The exact timing of the two potential byelections remains unclear.

Guitard will leave whether he's elected mayor or not, but if he wins he may remain an MLA until his swearing-in, and it's not clear whether that will happen until the new year.

Guitard was the mayor of Pointe-Verte, a village near Belledune, before running provincially.

In 2018 he found himself speaker of the legislature after weeks of post-election jockeying between Brian Gallant's Liberal government and the Progressive Conservative opposition led by Blaine Higgs.

Gallant lost his majority in the election and the PCs won one more seat than the Liberals. Neither party had a majority and both initially refused to nominate a speaker because it would cost them one vote in the closely-divided legislature.

The Liberals finally blinked and put Guitard's name forward.

"I made myself a lot of friends on both sides of the house," he said Tuesday. "My two years as speaker made me realize we were opponents, not enemies.…

"Everyone of them on the other side, I do respect for what they're trying to do for the province. I don't agree with what they're doing, but I respect them for pushing forward what they believe in." 

Premier Blaine Higgs said last week he sees no reason to delay calling the byelections, but said the timing will depend on when the seats become officially vacant.

Veteran Liberal MLA offers to give up seat for new leader

Longtime member Denis Landry says he’d like to see Susan Holt in legislature soon

Within minutes of Holt's victory, Bathurst East-Nepisiguit-Saint Isidore MLA Denis Landry said he told her he'd be willing to step down to trigger a byelection in which she could be the Liberal candidate.

"I already offered that to Susan," he told CBC News Saturday as the leadership convention wrapped up.

New Brunswick Liberal Party elects new leader

2 months ago
Duration 2:00
Susan Holt was elected the leader of the New Brunswick Liberal Party at their convention Saturday.

Landry's riding is among the safest Liberal constituencies in the province. He won it with 63.8 percent of the vote in the last election.

Landry was first elected in the 1995 provincial election. He lost in 1999, won his seat back in 2003 and has been re-elected ever since.

Holt said Saturday that two Liberal MLAs had already "whispered in my ear" that they might be willing to step aside to speed her entry into the legislature.

"There are some folks who've had long careers who are ready, maybe, to retire and pass the torch," she said, though she wouldn't identify them.

But the new leader said she was not in a rush.

"I don't think in short order because I think there is work to be done to build the foundation of this party, so I don't think it's urgent." 

Holt became the first woman elected as Liberal leader in the party's history with 51.67 per cent of the vote in the third round of the party's preferential ballot process.

Landry, who supported T.J. Harvey in the race, said he'd like to see Holt in the house as soon as possible.

"She's going to write a page of our history today," he said.

"I would like for her to be in the legislature for people to know her better. There's only two years before the next election and I think this would be a pretty nice platform for her to be well-known." 

Holt won on Saturday despite Harvey, the former Tobique-Mactaquac MP, leading in the first two rounds.

As rivals Robert Gauvin and Donald Arseneault dropped off, Holt picked up more second and third-choice votes from their supporters.

Without a seat in the legislature, Holt does not gain the title of leader of the Official Opposition, a legislative role that goes to an elected MLA. 

With interim leader Roger Melanson giving up that position, Holt will have to choose a sitting member to lead the Official Opposition until she gets a seat and assumes that role.

Election scheduled for 2024

Holt said she'd like to do that at some point before the next election, which is scheduled for October 2024. 

She'll also have to decide where to run in the next general election.

Holt ran in Fredericton South, where she lives, in 2018 against Green Leader David Coon. Coon won 56 per cent of the vote while Holt was a distant second with 20 per cent.

She said she's willing to run against Coon again but will wait to see how a just-launched electoral boundary revision plays out. 

An independent commission will redraw the riding map before October 2024. She said that could affect "what side of the line my house is on," potentially moving her into Fredericton West-Hanwell.

Landry said even if he steps aside for Holt, the province's electoral law allows Premier Blaine Higgs to drag out a byelection call for a long time.

>
> New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs stood alone at the podium on the

> province's health-care leadership.
>
> In the span of a few minutes, Higgs dropped three bombshells: he

> Health Network, and dismissed elected board members for both health
> authorities, replacing them with trustees.
>
> It was a major shakeup, and it was clear the decision came from the
> premier himself.
>
> "This isn't intended to be permanent, but this is intended to get
> results," Higgs said that day, referring to the two health authority
> boards. "And right now I need to see results, and I want to remove the
> barriers and the roadblocks for our health professionals to achieve
> them."
>
> But when CBC News filed a right to information request to the Office
> of the Premier, asking for records about the premier's decision to
> make changes to health-care leadership, a search returned no records —
> nothing to help explain to the public how Higgs arrived at such a
> significant decision.
>
> It's one of several examples of instances where the Higgs government
> failed to document its work, something public servants in New
> Brunswick aren't required to do by law.

> The concept is called duty to document, and it's something

> "If our government wants their citizens to have confidence in them, I

>
> When asked about the duty-to-document concept, Higgs said he doesn't

>
> "If I go back to the office now and I meet with a deputy minister in a

> would be just daily routine," he said this week.
>
> "But I'm not writing down every word they say or what they say."

> Woywada is the executive director of the Freedom of Information and

> "I think the women have always been there,," she said. "The issue has

> to get involved in politics."
>
> According to data from Elections New Brunswick, the numbers are slowly
> getting better. In the 2016 municipal election, 23 women were elected
> as mayors and 164 were elected as councillors.
>
> But compared to the 82 male mayors and the 361 men who were elected to
> councils, there's still a big gap.
>
> Norma Dubé has been fighting to see more women enter politics through
> the initiative Women for 50%.
>
> "It is extremely important and I think critical that we have women in
> these roles because they will raise issues that are not necessarily
> top of mind for their male counterparts," said Dubé.
>
> That's why she has been involved with the Women for 50% initiative,
> which aims to get more women into politics in New Brunswick.
>
> She said working with women so they see themselves reflected in
> leadership roles, or holding campaign schools so that they know the
> ins and outs of politics are all ways to eliminate barriers.
>
>     New Brunswick voters send 11 female MLAs to legislature
