Fired Horizon CEO awarded record-breaking $2M in unjust dismissal case against province
I was compelled to return to this blog today because CBC has continued
editing comments days later while continuing to stoke the fire about the
CEO getting fired today
Dr.
John Dornan testified he was encouraged to close obstetric and
gynecological services at the Upper River Valley Hospital in Waterville,
which he did, only to be told by the Horizon board the next day to
reverse the announcement. (Lawson Creamer)
A
labour adjudicator's decision in the grievance of the former CEO of
Horizon Health Network over his public firing by the premier offers a
glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes when health-care changes are
made in New Brunswick.
Adjudicator
George Filliter accepted Dornan was fired four months into his
five-year contract in a "public, disingenuous and callous manner" and
awarded him about $2 million.
Premier Blaine Higgs announced Dornan's firing during a news conference July 15, following the death of a Fredericton patient in the waiting room of the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital's emergency department.
'Potentially precarious nature of job'
According
to the decision, Dornan "became very much aware of the potentially
precarious nature of [his] job" while he was still working as the
interim CEO.
He testified at the adjudication hearing that at one
point during those seven months, he was "encouraged to consider" ending
the obstetric and gynecological services at the Upper River Valley
Hospital in Waterville.
The decision does not indicate who encouraged him. Dornan declined Friday to provide any additional information.
But
according to his undisputed testimony, he "considered this option and
because it was in line with previous plans, he made the decision to
cancel these services and made an announcement accordingly," the
decision says.
Higgs told him he had been 'thrown under the bus'
The
next day, he was told by the Horizon board to reverse his announcement,
and "later he received a call from the Premier in which the grievor was
told during this conversation that he had been 'thrown under the bus,'"
it says.
The province did not cross-examine Dornan during the adjudication hearing, leaving his testimony unchallenged.
Heidi
Liston, the deputy health minister at the time, testified at the
hearing. Former health minister Dorothy Shephard also testified briefly,
but the parties agreed she "was not able to offer relevant evidence"
about Dornan's case.
There is no other information about the Upper River Valley obstetrics in the 34-page decision.
The
Upper River Valley Hospital was facing a shortage of nurses and doctors
amid a pressing need to care for COVID-19 patients, it said in the
Friday evening news release.
"Persistent, temporary closures of
the Labour and Birth service at Horizon's URVH due to nursing and
physician shortages and to care for COVID-19 patients have created
uncertainties for obstetrics patients and their care teams," the news
release said.
Horizon was "implementing a long-term solution to
ensure expectant mothers from the Upper River Valley area [had] access
to reliable, safe and quality care during labour and birth."
That solution, it said, was to transition labour and birth services from Waterville to Fredericton.

had previously announced a temporary closure at the labour and birth
unit because resources had to be diverted because of COVID-19. (Dragan Grkic/Shutterstock)
"This
is the safest alternative for their care and that of their baby and
will provide stability and certainty around where they will be
delivering."
Horizon did not say how long the diversion would
last, but Woodstock Mayor Arthur Slipp said area residents were "very,
very concerned" it might close permanently.
"Further
to yesterday's statement, Horizon Health Network will continue to
provide labour and birth services at Horizon's Upper River Valley
Hospital (URVH) in Waterville."
No one from Horizon was available at the time to explain the flip-flop.
Dr.
John Dornan, 63, said he was fired as president and CEO of Horizon
during a phone call that lasted less than a minute, while on his way to
the Fredericton news conference where his termination was announced. (Lawson Creamer)
Seven
months after New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs fired Dr. John
Dornan, the former president and CEO of Horizon Health Network, says he
feels vindicated by a labour board decision, but still "in the dark"
about what happened.
"I think that my employer, Premier Higgs,
would be the only one that knows that. And aside from a press release,
he has not shared that with me," Dornan told CBC Thursday during a
telephone interview from his Saint John-area home.
It's the first time he has spoken publicly about the incident.
A labour
board adjudicator awarded Dornan about $2 million, which his lawyers
say is the largest employment compensation award in the province's
history. It includes $200,000 in aggravated damages.
"I accept the
position of the grievor that his dismissal was done in a 'public,
disingenuous and callous manner,'" the adjudicator wrote in his 34-page
decision.
Higgs
also replaced Dorothy Shephard as health minister and removed the
boards of both Horizon and Vitalité, New Brunswick's two health
authorities, citing a growing health-care crisis that included the
"traumatizing" death of a Fredericton patient July 12 in the waiting room of the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital's emergency department.
Although some people have suggested Dornan was made a "political scapegoat," he said he doesn't know if that's true.
He does know "it happened very abruptly" — during a phone call that lasted less than a minute.
The
evidence of the grievor was that the new Minister of Health said that
the 'CEO serves at the pleasure of the Minister' and 'you are no longer
employed.'
- George Filliter, labour board adjudicator
When
Higgs called, Dornan was in his parked car, about to get his hair cut
for the Fredericton news conference Higgs had invited him and the head
of Vitalité Health Network to attend the night before, following a
meeting about the ER patient's death.
He said Higgs informed him
Bruce Fitch had replaced Shephard as health minister. Then Fitch got on
the phone, according to the arbitrator's decision.
"The evidence
of the grievor was that the new Minister of Health said that the 'CEO
serves at the pleasure of the Minister' and 'you are no longer
employed,'" the decision states.
Had received 'good feedback'
Dornan, who previously served as the interim president and CEO of Horizon for about seven months, was "shocked."
Up to that point, he had received "good feedback" from the minister of health and "other people" he had worked with, he said.
"I
felt that I was on a positive track. I had initiated many changes in
Horizon and was planning on initiating other changes that I thought
would help New Brunswickers."
He cites as examples increasing the
number of "capable" managers and divvying up some "heavy" portfolios,
"better managing" physicians and nurses by being "more respectful," and
switching to Horizon-wide programs for surgery, psychiatry and emergency
services.
Had plan to address shortage of primary caregivers
In
addition, Dornan said he had a plan to address the province's shortage
of primary health-care providers, by bringing organizations together to
facilitate collaborative care team models.
As it stands, Horizon
doesn't control the rules around a collaborative practice or the funds
associated with that, the New Brunswick Medical Society doesn't control
who is accepted and credentialed into primary care in the province, and
the Nurses Association of New Brunswick deals almost exclusively with
the nursing part, according to Dornan.
"My plan moving forward was
to bring together people that could make decisions to say, 'Here are
the new rules governing credentialing and payment and collaboration
amongst primary care people.'"
Premier
Blaine Higgs came under fire Thursday from opposition leaders, who said
his lack of appreciation for the consequences of his actions has cost
taxpayers $2 million they can't afford. (CBC)
Instead,
without any warning, and without any constructive criticism of any
possible shortcomings, or any opportunity to to improve, he was fired
during that brief phone call, he said.
"I acknowledged that I had been terminated and there was no other conversation after that."
According
to the arbitrator's decision, Dornan was also advised during the call
he would receive one year's salary in lieu of notice.
Higgs told reporters Thursday he was awaiting legal advice on the arbitrator's decision, but said he stands by decisions he made at the time, pointing to what he described as improvements in the health-care system.
'Difficult to get my head around'
The days and weeks after the firing were "difficult," said Dornan.
He had to relay the news to his wife and family, friends and colleagues, and said he had no reason to give them.
He felt he had done a "good job for health care" during his 35-year career and has received "many accolades."
"So it was difficult to get my head around."
Dornan
said he had initiated many changes during his short stint at the helm
of Horizon, one of New Brunswick's two health authorities, and had plans
for more when he was terminated. (S_L/Shutterstock)
Dornan,
63, decided to seek legal advice because he believed he had been
terminated inappropriately and that his reputation had been ruined. He
filed his grievance with the labour board within days.
He tried to
look for other work. He had given up his role as regional chief of
staff for Horizon in Saint John and reduced his endocrinology practice
to one day a week when he became the president and CEO and those
positions were already filled, he said.
Not having any luck
locally, he interviewed for positions in other provinces. Those always
seemed to start out "quite well," but fell through, he said.
Local reputation affected national employability
"Headhunters
indicated that when they had spoken to people in New Brunswick, that I
did not receive a positive reference," said Dornan, unable to say to
whom they had spoken.
"I became aware that my reputation locally influenced my employability nationally."
Dornan said
he has since asked if Horizon would consider allowing him to increase
his clinical time with endocrinology patients and "they have indicated
that that's a possibility.
"So I'm looking forward to a clinical practice — really what I was doing when I started in New Brunswick," he said.
"I'm
glad to be back at work doing what I was trained to do as a physician
and I have lots of energy and years ahead of me and I'm looking forward
to that."
He admits he "would love to be leading" some of the
changes in the health-care system, such as facilitating getting more
primary caregivers into collaborative care team models.
But "health care in New Brunswick is not dependent on one person," he stressed.
"I
think people that are in positions of authority and power could do this
and, you know, I'm hopeful that over time, they will."
Methinks a dude who accepts fancy appointments
for political reasons should expect to fall on his own sword for
political reasons instead of enlisting greedy lawyers to whine about it
on his behalf while he plays dumb N'esy Pas?

Affiliated with the US-based National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals, we're proud to assist
thousands of North American law firms each month. See YOUTUBE video below for an overview of our organization:
Learn how NADN.org assists thousands of attorneys and legal staff throughout the United States, each year.
In May 2013, both the DRI (Defence Research Institute, www.DRI.org) and AAJ (American Association for Justice,
www.Justice.org) approved NADN as an industry partner (see
Press Release). NADN continues to sponsor both organizations, promoting the NADN roster to their combined membership of over 40,000 litigators
via ongoing advertising in their flagship national magazines. The DRI's
national website includes a 'bespoke' version of the NADN database, the
DRI Neutrals Database (news link).
NADN also put in place a biennial survey process which allows us to
assess which civil mediators and arbitrators are most widely acceptable
to both the plaintiff and defence bars in each state.
Following extensive research and firm outreach between
2013-2015, NADN was able to expand our roster to include members in
every state across the U.S. As of 2020, NADN has 42 formal State Chapters, each overseen by a local Executive Comittee.

interviews. Our members are amongst the most respected and in-demand
civil, commercial and labour ADR professionals across Canada.
Beginning in September 2019, CADN undertook a survey of over 800
trial and defense lawyers across more than 600 firms. We asked lawyers
to name their “go to” mediators & arbitrators, across many different
fields of civil practice. This survey - the largest ever under undertaken in Canada - allowed us to isolate names of ADR professionals widely trusted by BOTH sides of the Bar.
CADN's member roster is promoted through advertising and

final approval by our Executive Director and provincial Executive
Committee Members.
Premier
Blaine Higgs told reporters Thursday he's waiting for the province's
'legal folks' to evaluate the labour board arbitrator's 34-page
decision. (CBC)
Premier
Blaine Higgs stands by decisions he made last summer, including a
major shakeup of New Brunswick's health-care leadership following the
death of a patient in a Fredericton emergency department waiting room,
but he reserved comment on a record-breaking $2 million being awarded to
the former head of Horizon Health Network, one of the leaders he
publicly fired.
Meanwhile, opposition leaders say Higgs's lack of
appreciation for the consequences of his actions has cost taxpayers
money they can't afford.
On Wednesday, Dr. John Dornan, who served
as president and CEO of Horizon for only four months, won his unjust
dismissal case against the province.
Labour board adjudicator
George Filliter awarded him special damages of about $1.8 million — the
amount Dornan would have earned if he had completed his five-year
contract, plus $200,000 in aggravated damages.
"I haven't heard the report from the legal side yet of next steps," Higgs said Thursday.
"I
guess the only point I would make to that is we've recently — and we're
continuing to see — improvements in the health-care system."
Dismissal done in 'public, disingenuous and callous manner'
Higgs
announced Dornan's firing at a news conference July 15, citing a
growing health-care crisis that included the "traumatizing" death of a patient July 12 in
the waiting room of the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital's
emergency department. He also announced he was dropping Dorothy
Shephard as health minister and removing the boards of both Horizon and
Vitalité.
"When I made decisions back in July, it was to bring a
sense of urgency into the health-care system that, you know, we have a
crisis all across the country and we need to find a streamlined way to
make it happen," he told reporters Thursday during an unrelated news
conference in Fredericton.
Dr.
John Dornan held the position of president and CEO of Horizon Health
Network for only four months before he was fired on July 15. (Horizon Health Network)
"If I had to go back in July, I would be doing the same thing."
When
asked to clarify, given the adjudicator's decision to accept Dornan's
position that his dismissal "was done in a 'public, disingenuous and
callous manner,'" Higgs said he "wasn't talking about what the
adjudicator said, and whether that was right or wrong. I was referring
to the overall situation and the changes that were made."
Consequences to 'throwing people under the bus'
In
a statement, Susan Holt, leader of the New Brunswick Liberals, said,
"There are consequences to disrespecting your team, dismissing employees
like it's no big deal and throwing people under the bus.
"The
Premier's lack of appreciation for the consequences of his actions has
just cost the people of [New Brunswick] more than $2 million," she
wrote.
Green Party Leader David Coon said "that's exactly what happens when a premier or any leader makes poor decisions."
Dornan,
he said, took on the position of president and CEO because he "wanted
to make a difference in the health care for New Brunswickers.
"He
really was looking at how to transform the system to better serve people
of this province and for his troubles, he got fired."
Coon contends Higgs "responded irrationally" to the death of the patient in the ER waiting room.
"When he gets riled, the premier has the tendency to shoot from the hip and that's never a good plan," he said.
2nd high-profile dispute with a doctor
This is the second high-profile dispute Higgs has been involved in.
A
former Campbellton doctor who says he faced racism and threats after he
was accused in 2020 of breaking COVID-19 rules by failing to
isolate and of being the source of a deadly outbreak is suing the
province, the RCMP and Facebook.
During a
May 27, 2020, news conference, Higgs said a medical professional in
their 50s had travelled to Quebec for personal reasons, "was not
forthcoming about their reasons for travel upon returning to New
Brunswick and they did not self-isolate as a result."
Higgs never
referred to Ngola by name, but blamed what was then a cluster of
COVID-19 cases in the Campbellton region and a resurgence of the
coronavirus in the province on the "irresponsible individual" who returned to work at the Campbellton Regional Hospital and treated patients for two weeks.
All
charges have been withdrawn against Dr. Jean-Robert Ngola, who now
practises in Quebec. He was accused of violating the Emergency Measures
Act for not quarantining. (Judy Trinh/CBC News file photo)
Asked
Thursday if he's concerned his comments in the two cases could affect
the province's ability to recruit much-needed physicians, Higgs said he
always strives to do what's best for New Brunswickers.
"Let's put
aside the personalities and the personal conflicts and say, 'How do we
deliver better results?' I just stick with that principle and so it does
involve sometimes some tough discussions."
Pressed for specifics
of how the sudden firing of Dornan helped health care when it appears
many of Horizon's successes since then were already underway under
Dornan, Higgs said there have been programs "under study, under review,
coming soon," being looked at or thought about for years.
"There's
a sense of urgency now more so than ever to make sure that these
projects get across the line," he said. "What we're trying to achieve is
the results that people can feel."
He cited a 70 per cent
reduction in wait times for cataract surgery in Bathurst and the number
of New Brunswickers without access to primary care being reduced to
55,000 from 75,000 as examples.
I remember talking to and exchanging emails with this sneaky old bastard way back in 2010
Trust that I was not surprised to see that he got the last word just before the comment closed so that I could not respond
Dallas Mcquarrie
Successive provincial governments have badly
neglected NB's health system tor years. What happened was tragic in the
extreme, but hardly a surprise. Higgs tried to pretend his government
wasn't at fault by firing people. That's not performance - that's
scapegoating!

James Risdon disappointed in incumbent Bathurst mayor's decision
CBC News ·
Incumbent Mayor Stephen Brunet has declined a request for a public debate.
The mayoral race in Bathurst is beginning to heat up, but there will be no public debates between the only two candidates.
Incumbent
Mayor Stephen Brunet has declined a request for a public debate, a
decision his challenger James Risdon calls "a sad day for democracy."
This is the second time Risdon has run for mayor of Bathurst.
"I
wanted to get the mayor, to step forward with me, and in a public
debate tell people what it is we're going to do. What we stand for,"
Risdon said.
Brunet said he's never participated in one before and wants to stick with the campaign style he's used to doing.
He also said debates are best left to university clubs.
Risdon
disagreed. "In my mind, I'm very disappointed that the mayor would try
to dismiss this and make it seem like it's not important. Certainly for
me, if it's good enough for our prime minister, and it's good enough for
our national leaders, it's certainly good enough for me as a
candidate."
Many voters in Bathurst would like to know more about their candidates, and some feel a debate would have helped.
"I
don't find it's right. Because they want to hear about what both sides
have to say about it," said Gulie Guignard. "So I really think he should
have stepped up and represented himself more than just turn himself
down."
"I would be interested to see if they'll have a public
forum even without his participation. Because I think it's also a
value," said Dayna Debenedet. "We're not just voting for the mayor,
we're voting for counsellors as well. So I think there's still a value
even if some candidates aren't comfortable with the process."
"Oh.
I think there should be a debate. We know Stephen … he's well liked and
everything. But I'd still like to hear what the other fella has to say.
That's the only way you can decide on something," said Raymond Stever.
Brunet declined comment to CBC News, saying he's already said everything he needs to about debating.

this matter has 10 times the comments that can still be read but very

Samuel Champlain Reply to Michael Cain No, he is backed up by many, it is why he has a majority, the party you support does not.
David Amos Reply to Buford Wilson Yea Right
Douglas James Continued improvements in the healthcare system? But still no continuous glucose monitors for insulin-dependent diabetics over the age of 25 -- a simple device that can reduce severe complications and save many lives. Higgs has full medical insurance paid for by taxpayers. He doesn't care about those who suffer because they can't adequately monitor their blood glucose levels to even know how much insulin to take from one meal to another. Now $2 million has gone down the drain. That alone would have provided all insulin-dependent diabetics with the resources they need. I don't know how this man can sleep at night.
Michael Cain Reply to Douglas James Maybe you will have better luck with a Liberal government.
Don Corey Reply to Michael Cain Highly unlikely.
Jane MacMillan Reply to Michael Cain Change needs to be more profound now for NB. Ping pong between the red and blue paddles is useless and done. Nothing changes until people are willing to step away from their own personal tradition in that respect.
Michael Cain Reply to Jane MacMillan The best that could happen would be electing a woman as premier and have more women in government. Sadly, I don't think this Neanderthal province would accept this change.
Michael Cain Reply to Don Corey Still bitter, huh. Put on your big boys pants and accept your shortcomings.
David Amos Reply to Don Corey Methinks the chances are zero to none at all N'esy Pas?
David Amos Reply to Douglas James Methinks on the upside of this nonsense is that once Higgy fired everybody the system finally coughed up my Health Care Card. Then the Hospitals and Doctors in one hospital sent me a cheque refunding the money for expensive tests that I should not have had to pay for in the first place N'esy Pas?

It was a dumb move, to say the least. Now it has become a

FYI I am kinda busy with the EUB and Rouleau et al right now
Dr. John Dornan held the position of president and CEO of Horizon Health Network for only four months before he was fired. (Horizon Health Network)
The
former head of Horizon Health Network has been awarded more than $2
million in his unjust dismissal case against the province after he was
publicly fired by the premier last summer following the death of a
patient in a Fredericton emergency department waiting room.
Dr.
John Dornan's lawyers say it's the largest employment compensation award
in the province's history and accurately reflects the losses suffered
by their client.
It includes about $385,000 a year for the balance
of his five-year contract, plus $200,000 in aggravated damages, which
is unprecedented under the Public Service Labour Relations Act,
according to his lawyers.
No punitive damages or costs were awarded in the decision the adjudicator issued Wednesday.
"If we don't get better management results in our hospitals, we won't get better health care," Higgs said at the time.
Grievance not just about money
Dornan's grievance wasn't just about the money, said his Toronto-based lawyer Howard Levitt.
"What he was interested in … was reputation protection and vindication," Levitt said in an interview.
Dornan,
who had served as interim Horizon president and CEO for about seven
months, agreed to take on the role permanently to serve the public and
to advance health care in New Brunswick — and took a pay cut to do so,
Levitt said.
He gave up his previous positions as regional chief
of staff and internal medicine specialist at the Saint John Regional
Hospital.
"And then he had his reputation essentially assailed by the government for something he had nothing to do with," Levitt said.
Employment
lawyer Howard Levitt said Dornan's reputation was 'so thoroughly
vindicated' by the adjudicator's decision Wednesday, he could
confidently say his client was 'delighted,' without even having spoken
to him. (Levitt LLP)
During the news
conference, when Higgs also dropped Dorothy Shephard as health minister
and removed the boards of both Horizon and Vitalité, he cited a growing
health-care crisis that included the "traumatizing" death of a patient July 12 in the waiting room of the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital's emergency department.
Witness
John Staples told CBC News the man, a senior, had been waiting alone in
a wheelchair, in visible discomfort, for hours when he appeared to fall
asleep. It was only during a routine check of people in the waiting
room that a hospital employee realized the man had stopped breathing, he
said.
Levitt alleged that Higgs's comments made "it look as if
somehow, John Dornan, who of course had nothing to do with what happened
in those few hours in that hospital ward, four months after taking the
job permanently, was somehow responsible.
"That was the impression given, in any event."
I
think what we now know, in very explicit, clear terms, is that problems
in our health-care system, and problems in our emergency rooms, are not
isolated.
- Kelly VanBuskirk, lawyer
Adjudicator George Filliter found Dornan "had nothing to do with it at all," according to Levitt.
"I
think what we now know, in very explicit, clear terms, is that problems
in our health-care system, and problems in our emergency rooms, are not
isolated," said Dornan's other lawyer, Saint John-based Kelly
VanBuskirk.
"Those are unfortunately much more frequent than
anyone had hoped, and certainly have been repeated since Dr. Dornan's
departure," VanBuskirk said when interviewed with Levitt.
35-year reputation ruined within 40 minutes
Still,
in the span of a 40-minute news conference, the reputation of Dornan,
an endocrinologist and internal medicine specialist, who has practised
medicine in New Brunswick for 35 years, was ruined, his lawyers argue.
In
the aftermath, Dornan was interviewed twice for a similar job in
another province, but negotiations suddenly ended "because they heard
from New Brunswick some negative commentary about the circumstances of
his termination," Levitt said.
That's why the adjudicator took the unprecedented step of not only awarding aggravated damages, but such a high amount, he said.
He
"looked at all the facts and said [the province] really muddied
[Dornan's] reputation when he's a guy who's operated with pure
integrity, and was untouched in cross-examination of the case, acted in
good faith, and was badly treated," Levitt said.
Dornan did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Province is reviewing the decision
CBC has also requested a comment from the Premier's Office.
The province is "aware of the decision," said Department of Health spokesperson Adam Bowie.
"We are reviewing it and have no other comment," he said in an emailed statement.
Premier
Blaine Higgs has defended what he called his 'shock and awe' changes to
New Brunswick's health-care system leadership. He was removing a
'bureaucratic stalemate,' he has said. (CBC News)
The province could seek a judicial review of the decision, but Levitt contends it's unlikely.
"The test
for judicial review [is] you have to show no reasonable adjudicator
could have come to this decision," he said. "It's an extraordinarily
hard test."
Verbal agreement overrides later contract
The
province had Dornan sign a contract after he had already accepted the
job and started working that stipulated he could be terminated with one
year's pay. The adjudicator found this was unenforceable.
Dornan agreed
to sign it, according to Levitt, because he had already given up his
previous positions and arranged replacements for himself.
"And he
thought, 'Well, geez, what am I going to do now? I've taken this job, I
can't go back to my old jobs. If I don't sign this contract, I'll have
nothing.'"
The government had argued if Dornan signed it, he was bound by it.
Dornan's
lawyer Kelly VanBuskirk said to have his employment ended in the way
that it was constituted a 'serious … embarrassment and upset for him,'
as well as his family. (Submitted by Kelly VanBuskirk)
But
the adjudicator found Dornan wasn't asked to get independent legal
advice, and the contract didn't override the verbal five-year agreement
he already had since he received nothing in return for the punitive
one-year termination provision.
The arbitrator reached his
decision following a Saint John hearing held Dec. 20-21 and written
arguments that extended into February.
Dornan filed his grievance
within 25 days of termination, as required under the act that governs
relationships between the New Brunswick government and government
employees.
Pushed for tighter COVID rules leading up to firing
"A seventh COVID wave is amongst us," with hospitalizations and staff outbreaks increasing, he wrote on July 11.
A
Horizon infectious disease and infection protection control committee
was "recommending moving to Hospital Red phase next week if numbers
continue to deteriorate," according to the email.
Dornan wrote that officials "could make that call collectively on Monday or Tuesday next week," referring to July 18 and 19.
He was fired on July 15, and the move to the red phase never happened, even though the numbers did continue to deteriorate.
In
a COVID update July 19, Horizon and Vitalité reported an increase in
COVID hospital admissions, active hospitalizations, hospital outbreaks
and staff infections between July 10 and July 16.
Dornan's firing was "not related" to the July 14 memo, a Department of Health spokesperson told CBC on July 18.
When Dornan was appointed president and CEO last March, then-health minister Shephard noted he had held "several positions in leadership, educational and front-line activities."
"His
skills, abilities and competencies will ensure the Horizon Health
Network will continue to deliver high-quality health-care services to
residents," she said in a statement at the time.

The Gallant government has introduced legislation to merge several
legislative watchdog positions into a single job and has chosen a
retired judge to take on the newly expanded role.
Alexandre Deschênes
Alexandre Deschênes, a retired New Brunswick Court of Appeal justice,
is to be the first integrity commissioner in New Brunswick.
Retired New Brunswick Court of Appeal justice Alexandre Deschênes will
become the province's first integrity commissioner, an appointment
supported by the opposition Progressive Conservatives and Green Party
Leader David Coon.
Premier Brian Gallant introduced a bill Wednesday to create the position.
For now, Deschênes fills the vacant position of conflict-of-interest
commissioner and will also oversee legislation governing the privacy
of personal health records.
Next July, Deschênes will add responsibility for the lobbyist registry
to his duties.
The Liberals say they will proclaim legislation to set up the registry
by next July. The law was passed by the previous PC government in 2014
but not enacted.

And next September, after Anne Bertrand, the information and privacy

An independent study, done as part of the government's program
review, recommended the merging of the legislative officer positions.

Judge-moving bill aims to help Dominic LeBlanc, Tory MLA charges
Kirk MacDonald says Liberals drafted bill to help put Jolène Richard
and André Richard on court
By Jacques Poitras, CBC News Posted: Nov 24, 2016 6:03 PM AT
A Progressive Conservative MLA has taken the unusual step of naming
names — including that of a sitting provincial court judge — in his
attack on a proposed law on how Court of Queen's Bench judges are
transferred.
Kirk MacDonald told the legislature last week that he believes the
government bill was drafted to help the spouse and the brother-in-law
of federal Liberal MP Dominic LeBlanc, a close ally of Premier Brian
Gallant.
nb-andre-richard-jolene-richard
A Progressive Conservative MLA believes the Liberal government's
judge-moving bill was drafted to help have André Richard and Jolène
Richard appointed to the Court of Queen's Bench. (CBC)
"I will give you two names. I will give you Jolène Richard and André
Richard, two people I believe are looking for judicial appointments
here in New Brunswick," MacDonald said during second-reading debate on
the bill.
In fact, Jolène Richard is already a provincial court judge. André
Richard is her brother and a senior lawyer at Stewart McKelvey.
Province names new judge, wife of MP Dominic LeBlanc
"Dominic LeBlanc has some judges that he wants to appoint in New
Brunswick, and the framework as it currently exists does not allow for
that to happen," MacDonald said.
André Richard stated Thursday he "had no involvement in the
government's decision to propose changes to the Judicature Act."
"As you know, my sister is already a judge who sits in Moncton. I fail
to understand why our names are being brought into this debate."
Bill gives veto to minister
The Liberal bill would amend the Judicature Act, which governs how
courts operate, to give the justice minister a veto over Chief Justice
David Smith of the Court of Queen's Bench transferring judges from one
court to another.
nb-chief-justice-david-smith
Court of Queen's Bench Chief Justice David Smith has transferred 13
judges since becoming chief justice in 1998. (Acadia University)
PC MLAs have hinted in the past about who they believe the bill was
designed to help. But until now, no one was willing to name them.
It's rare for politicians to draw sitting judges into partisan
debates, and the veteran Tory MLA did not offer any evidence to back
up his allegations. He turned down a request to explain his views in
an interview.
Parliamentary privilege
Parliamentary privilege protects members of the legislature from being
sued for defamation or held in contempt of court for comments they
make during proceedings. No such protection exists for things they say
outside the legislature.
Provincial court judges such as Richard are appointed by the province,
but Court of Queen's Bench justices are named by Ottawa. Both courts
are administered by the province, but the current law gives Smith the
power to move judges on his court on his own.
Smith has argued the bill would threaten the independence of the
courts, which could make it unconstitutional.
Bill brought back
The Liberals introduced the bill during the last session, but it
didn't pass before the session ended. They brought it back last week.
Justice Minister Denis Landry said last week the bill was designed to
bring "best practices" to court administration and end the pattern of
justices being named to smaller courthouses and then being transferred
soon after.
Judge-moving legislation introduced again
2 chief justices appear at odds over judge-moving bill
7 things list reveals about controversial judge-moving bill
"This is what we want to correct," he said. "If we name a judge, they
should reside there, for a long period of time, not just two or three
months then move them where they want to go."
Asked whether he'd veto such a transfer, Landry said, "This is what we'll see."
Landry's department said Thursday it would not comment on MacDonald's
accusation.
Larger locations favoured
MacDonald said during last week's debate that it's true Court of
Queen's Bench justices are often appointed to smaller locations and
are then moved to one of the three largest cities.
Dominic LeBlanc
Federal Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc is a close ally of New
Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant. (CBC)
He said that court postings in Moncton, Fredericton, and Saint John
are "The positions that everyone seems to want."
And he said the current system for moving judges, "which is controlled
by the chief justice, does not work for Dominic LeBlanc and the

Upside to judge-moving bill touted by ex-constitutional lawyer
Gallant government's judge-moving bill questioned by legal expert
"They want to change it. They want to have a situation where they have
a mechanism to control that decision and to effect change on that
decision."
In June, Smith transferred Justice Tracey DeWare from Woodstock to
Moncton and Justice Richard Petrie from Saint John to Woodstock.
DeWare was moved to fill a vacancy after Justice Brigitte Robichaud
switched to supernumerary, or part-time, status.
Jolène Richard did not respond to interview requests.

in Iraq again it did not serve Canadian interests and reputation to
allow Barry Winters to publish the following words three times over
five years after he began his bragging:
January 13, 2015
This Is Just AS Relevant Now As When I wrote It During The Debate
December 8, 2014
Why Canada Stood Tall!
Friday, October 3, 2014
Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And
Stupid Justin Trudeau
Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide
behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.
When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien
actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign
in Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to
the wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were
involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There were
significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth
of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for
operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute”
Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind.
The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not
deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a
Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to
redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was
less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But
alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s
then grossly incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s
incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic,
professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle
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
remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of
non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government
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
terror against not only the “western world,” but Arab states
“moderate” or not, as well. The security, safety, and tranquility 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
G7 and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious
behavior from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister
Stephen Harper, Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully
cognizant of that reality. Even if some editorial boards, and pundits
are not.
Justin, Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal
mantra, and tradition of expecting the amerkans or the rest of the
world to do “the heavy lifting.” Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy”
David Amos are telling Canadians that we can guarantee our security
and safety by expecting other nations to fight for us. That Canada can
and should attempt to guarantee Canadians safety by providing
“humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a sitting US president a “war
criminal.” This morning Australia announced they too, were sending
tactical aircraft to eliminate the menace of an ISIS “caliphate.”
In one sense Prime Minister Harper is every bit the scoundrel Trudeau
“the elder” and Jean ‘the crook” Chretien was. Just As Trudeau, and
successive Liberal governments delighted in diminishing,
marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and sending Canadian
military men and women to die with inadequate kit and modern
equipment; so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s are
antiquated, poorly equipped, and ought to have been replaced five
years ago. But alas, there won’t be single RCAF fighter jock that
won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada safe or safer.
My Grandfather served this country. My father served this country. My
Uncle served this country. And I have served this country. Justin
Trudeau has not served Canada in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not
served this country in any way. Liberals and so called social
democrats haven’t served this country in any way. David Amos, and
other drooling fools have not served this great nation in any way. Yet
these fools are more than prepared to ensure their, our safety to
other nations, and then criticize them for doing so.
Canada must again, now, “do our bit” to guarantee our own security,
and tranquility, but also that of the world. Canada has never before
shirked its responsibility to its citizens and that of the world.
Prime Minister Harper will not permit this country to do so now

the War in Iraq (I just called SOCOM and let them know I was still
alive
To: david.raymond.amos@gmail.com
This is to confirm that the Minister of National Defence has received
your email and it will be reviewed in due course. Please do not reply
to this message: it is an automatic acknowledgement.
I talked to Don Newman earlier this week before the beancounters David
Dodge and Don Drummond now of Queen's gave their spin about Canada's
Health Care system yesterday and Sheila Fraser yapped on and on on
CAPAC during her last days in office as if she were oh so ethical.. To
be fair to him I just called Greg Weston (613-288-6938) I suggested
that he should at least Google SOUCOM and David Amos It would be wise
if he check ALL of CBC's sources before he publishes something else
about the DND EH Don Newman? Lets just say that the fact that your
old CBC buddy, Tony Burman is now in charge of Al Jazeera English
never impressed me. The fact that he set up a Canadian office is
interesting though
Anyone can call me back and stress test my integrity after they read
this simple pdf file. BTW what you Blue Sky dudes pubished about
Potash Corp and BHP is truly funny. Perhaps Stevey Boy Harper or Brad
Wall will fill ya in if you are to shy to call mean old me.
"But Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military
brass were not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he
says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping
to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command,
including a Canadian general.
That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff,
who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000
U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was
also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that helped
prepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."
"I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there
being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends"
demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American
"veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying
into the US policy.
At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my
colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning
in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would
report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was
never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there
were deployed WMD.
Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and
invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were
concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation
(and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned
about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at
that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil
authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.
There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to
its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary
to the lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that
folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated
upon. "What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions
are to met before US troop can redeploy? Prime Minister Jean Chretien
and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of
Canadian involvement in an Iraq operation....History would prove them
correct. The political pressure being applied on the PMO from the
George W Bush administration was onerous
American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian
military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian
naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations
in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan
thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi
operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian
lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of which
....not necessarily in that order. "
You can bet that I called these sneaky Yankees again today EH John
Adams? of the CSE within the DND?

After reviewing your complaint, I must advise you that our Office
contacted the Medicare section of the Department of Health and has

Health-care collaboration on the table as Atlantic premiers finally
get in-person meeting
Premiers discuss key issues, say they won't pursue permanent daylight
saving time unless other regions do

The four Atlantic premiers held their first in-person meeting since
before the pandemic on Monday, where they discussed a regional
approach to health care and other key regional issues.
At the meeting, held in Halifax and chaired by Nova Scotia Premier Tim
Houston, the premiers talked about a unified effort to recruit and
retain health-care professionals and using potential "excesses" to
assist patients in neighbouring provinces.
New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs said the four provinces are not in
competition with each other and will be working together to attract
health-care workers to the region.
Higgs also said they discussed how provinces can share existing
resources. For example, if one area has an "excess" of some service,
it could be used by patients from other provinces.
"If we have excess capability and we can utilize that, let's not get
hung up on where it is," Higgs said at a wrap-up briefing with the
media following the Council of Atlantic Premiers meeting.
He said the patient's home province would pay for the service, but the
patient would have to travel to where the service is being offered.

Houston said all four Atlantic provinces are experiencing similar
challenges when it comes to health care.
"It's safe to say that health care remains top of mind for each of our
provinces and our populations. The shortage of health-care workers is
not exclusive to Atlantic Canada, certainly not exclusive to Nova
Scotia. It's felt everywhere."
Making it easier for health-care workers to travel between provinces
is part of the solution, he said.
Currently, licensing criteria and fees structures are unique to each
province and complicate mobility between provinces.
Making it easier for health-care workers to travel between provinces
means they could "move around and help each other out," Houston said.
"We are one region and there's lots of family ties between them," he
said. "And so those are the opportunities that I'm looking forward
to."
Houston said there was a "high degree of interest in harmonizing that stuff."
Newfoundland Premier Andrew Furey said the ultimate goal would be for
one licensing system for health-care professionals like doctors.
(Government of Newfoundland and Labrador)
Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey said "one of the
lessons learned from COVID … [is] that health-care mobility is
important."
Furey, who has worked as a doctor around the world, said Canada is
fortunate to have "a robust licensing system that could be applied
blanket-statement to the whole country."
"We are very well trained in Canada," he said. "Once you're licensed
in any jurisdiction, there's no reason to think that you shouldn't be
able to practice medicine somewhere else."
Furey said the "exact model and instrument" still has to be
determined, but that a single entity controlling the licensing of
health-care professionals would be the goal.
Health care was just one of the issues on the agenda. They also
discussed a regional approach to economic recovery, cost of living,
immigration and energy.
Daylight saving time
The premiers also talked about the movement in other areas to
establish daylight saving time year-round.
Prince Edward Island Premier Dennis King said islanders support the
idea of getting rid of the twice-yearly time change — as long as
they're not the only ones doing it.
In the United States, one of the two chambers of Congress passed a
bill that would make daylight time permanent instead of the current
March-through-November schedule.
The U.S. Senate passed the bill last week with support from both
parties. If it becomes law, it would mean an extra hour of daylight in
the evenings year-round.
In Canada, Ontario has a law passed and ready to be implemented if New
York and Quebec do the same.
"I think if that were to happen, we would have to react collectively
here in some way, shape or form," King said on Monday.
"Essentially, we've all sort of decided that this doesn't make sense
for one of us to do this. If we are to proceed with something, it
would be … on a regional basis in response to what might be done in
other places."
Higgs said there's also interest in New Brunswick in eliminating the
twice-yearly time change.
But until other regions make a move, Higgs said, the Atlantic
provinces won't pursue it.

CEO cites hospitalizations and staff absences being 'stable' over past
month, notes $24M operating deficit
Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon · CBC News · Posted: Mar 16, 2022 7:11 PM AT |
Last Updated: March 16
Dr. France Desrosiers, president and chief executive officer of
Vitalité Health Network, said services are gradually resuming.
(Government of New Brunswick/YouTube)
COVID-19 is "not over in hospitals," says the president and CEO of the
Vitalité Health Network.
Dr. France Desrosiers made the comments during an update to the board
of directors Tuesday.
New Brunswick lifted all of its COVID-19 restrictions Monday, but
Vitalité remains at the red alert level due to the number of
hospitalizations and absent health-care workers, Desrosiers said
during the public meeting.
"The number of hospitalizations has remained stable I would say over
the last month. The number of absenteeism is also stable, but it is
still present.
"So as soon as we are able to resume service, we resume it. Sometimes,
we have to revise downwards and we go back up as soon as possible
again."
As of Saturday, the most recent figures available, there were 99
people with COVID-19 hospitalized across both the Vitalité and Horizon
health networks, down from 103 on Friday, including three people aged
19 or under.
Thirteen people required intensive care, down from 14, and seven of
them were on ventilators, unchanged.
Of those in hospital, 46 were admitted for COVID-19, and 53 were
initially admitted for something else when they tested positive for
the virus. Of the 13 in an ICU, 11 are "for COVID" patients.
The seven-day average of COVID-related hospitalizations increased to
98 Saturday, from 96, while the seven-day average of COVID-related ICU
bed occupancies was 13, up from 12.
As of Saturday, 154 Vitalité health-care workers were off isolating
after testing positive for COVID-19. (Evan Mitsui/CBC)
There were 513 health-care workers off Saturday after testing positive
for COVID-19, down from 577. That includes 154 from Vitalité, 300 from
Horizon and 59 from Extra-Mural and Ambulance New Brunswick.
As of last Thursday, another 76 Vitalité health-care workers were
isolating because they had been a close contact of a positive case.
Hospital capacity provincewide was listed at 90 per cent, up from 89
per cent on Friday, while ICU occupancy decreased to 71 per cent, from
77 per cent.
Vitalité and Horizon both announced last week that their hospitals and
health-care facilities would remain at the red level, despite the
province lifting all mandatory measures in the community.
Vitalité is adjusting on a daily basis and services are gradually
resuming, said Desrosiers.
Pandemic-related costs for 2021-22 reach $26M
But she noted the regional health authority recorded an operating
deficit of $24 million for the first nine months of the fiscal year,
largely due to additional expenses related to the pandemic.
Desrosiers highlighted the challenges faced by human resources.
"The network took into account that a significant number of
health-care workers had to be taken off the job due to the virus at
one time or another. The quick and efficient redeployment of resources
has made it possible to provide essential services and to cope with
the rapid increase in the number of hospitalized patients with
COVID-19," she said.
Pandemic-related costs between April 1 and Dec. 31, 2021, totalled
$26.2 million, the board heard.
"Through careful and responsible management of the pandemic's fifth
wave, we have emerged from this crisis with the sense that we did what
needed to be done," Desrosiers said in a statement.

absenteeism triggering school closures
New Brunswick devises confusing way to measure vaccine protection
Blood test and radiography services are almost completely restored,
with some backlog to be cleared up.
Surgical services vary "from 75 to 80 per cent" of normal capacity,
depending on the location, said Desrosiers.
"Sometimes there are areas that are 100 per cent, others are 50 per
cent. It really varies on a daily basis," she said.
The province has passed the peak of the Omicron variant, according to
Dr. Jennifer Russell, the province's chief medical officer of health.
"Yes, we do have a continued level of hospitalizations, but we're
managing," she told CBC on Monday.
With the lifting of restrictions, some increases in hospitalizations
and cases are expected, said Russell.
But they won't be overwhelming, she said, citing modelling, which has
not been made public.

A plan, a plan, do you believe?
Is it me? Am I the only one hearing generalities, but no specifics?
We have to note, just the other day, both Scheer and Trudeau promised
big bucks in transfers for health care. So would it be prudent to
assume "business as usual" in the health care file until the money
fairy stops by? If the money fairy stops by?
We must remember too, you need a referral from a GP (typically your
family doctor) to see a mental health professional. So maybe the first
order of business would be addressing the shortage of GPs?
Whatever rabbit Mr Higgs pulls out of his hat, rebuilding a very
broken system will take time and money.
David Raymond Amos
Reply to @Terry Tibbs: Its all just talk Higgs and his cohorts have
yet to provide me with a Health Care Card However 11 years ago the
liberals had no problem whatsoever squandering precious health care
resources by falsely imprisoning a political opponent in a mental ward
for the benefit of the conservative buddies Greg Thompson and Carl
Urquhart. Methinks the truly funny part of it all is that the shrinks
never got paid for their malicious services and now they try hard to
pretend it never happened and don't know who I am even though they
know I have the RCMP's documents with the doctor's signature N'esy

things are really messed up in your alternative universe. If you were

This is not done randomly. Furthermore, the physicians who attempted
to treat you were certainly paid by Medicare and if you think doctors
remember every single patient and document they may have signed while
on call or otherwise then i would suggest that you treatment was
unsuccessful.

Indeed those suffering from mental health problems need more help so
they can become productive members of society. If someone has a broken
leg, we don't write them off for life, we fix the leg. Why do people
not understand that mental health is the same as any part of the body,
fixable. When placed under immense stress and strain, it too can break
and because it's the hard rive of the body, it's essential we have the
best treatment for it. We also need to ban marijuana and make sure New
Brunswick is a drug free zone so that fewer people end up with mental
health issues that marijuana and other drugs are known to cause, and
so that more money is then available for those who have mental health
issues not self inflicted by drugs. It's an outrage that we are
subsidizing fancy stores for marijuana drug users while mental health
service suffers.

Dalhousie's walk-in clinic remains closed without definitive reopening date
Region's only walk-in clinic has been closed for over a month

The St. Joseph Community Health Centre in Dalhousie, N.B. was once a
hospital with 100 beds. (Alexandre Silberman/CBC)
The Restigouche region's only walk-in clinic will not reopen this week
as expected.
The clinic at the St. Joseph Community Health Centre in Dalhousie
closed its doors at the end of January in response to a staffing
shortage. At the time, the Vitalité Health Network said the temporary
closure would only last a month.
But this week, it remained closed with no clear timeline on if or when
the clinic will start taking patients again.
Dalhousie Mayor Normand Pelletier said residents without a primary

"They're extremely disappointed, they're scared," he said. "They don't
know where they're going to go for medical help in Restigouche County
anymore."
Dalhousie residents demand improved doctor recruitment after
clinic temporarily closes
Residents held a protest last month calling on the health authority to
improve recruitment of health care providers. At the time of the
clinic's closure, only two out of six physician positions were filled
– with one doctor on leave.
The Vitalité Health Network has not announced a new reopening date.

temporary closure of the walk-in clinic at the St. Joseph Community
Health Centre. (Alexandre Silberman/CBC)
Spokesperson Thomas Lizotte said all other services at the community
health centre, including a collaborative practice and ambulatory
services, remain available to patients.
"Discussions are still ongoing with the Department of Health to ensure
strategic alignment with the new Health Plan," Thomas wrote in an
email.
There are 4,200 patients with a regular primary care provider at the
collaborative practice.
In an interview last month, Jacques Duclos, vice-president of
community services and mental health, said family physicians found the
workload of the walk-in clinic "unsustainable" because it took away
from the collaborative practice.
He said discussions are focused on rethinking the primary care model,
spurred by the province's new health plan and improvements to virtual
care.
WATCH / Closure of only walk-in clinic has aging community worried
Dalhousie's only walk-in clinic closes amid 'major crisis' in staffing
15 days ago
Duration 3:03
Residents are calling on the Vitalité Health Network to improve
recruitment of doctors and nurses for the Restigouche region. 3:03
Restigouche County has one of the province's oldest populations and is
facing a significant shortage of 13 primary care providers. Without
the clinic, residents have been waiting at the emergency room at the
Campbellton Regional Hospital, or driving an hour south to Bathurst.
Pelletier said town council and the regional service commission have
heard no updates on recruitment since the demonstration. Now, he's
requesting a meeting with Health Minister Dorothy Shepard to ask for
increased control locally.
"Probably we'd be better served under Horizon," he said.
During the pandemic, the clinic had shifted to an appointment-only
model. Patients could no longer just show up and instead needed to
call in to get a spot.

Loin de s'excuser, le premier ministre Higgs met au défi le Dr Ngola

2021-06-08 | Mis à jour aujourd’hui à 12 h 59
Le premier ministre du Nouveau-Brunswick Blaine Higgs a publiquement
mis au défi le Dr Jean-Robert Ngola en lui demandant de l'autoriser à
révéler des informations privées potentiellement incriminantes. Un
geste qui n’est pas passé inaperçu par l’opposition, mardi.
Le Dr Ngola faisait face, jusqu'à tout récemment, à des accusations
pour avoir enfreint la loi sur les mesures d’urgence durant la
pandémie. Ces accusations ont été abandonnées vendredi.
Blaine Higgs, qui refuse toujours de s’excuser, dit maintenant détenir
des informations possiblement compromettantes, mais qu’il ne peut
divulguer en vertu de la Loi sur la protection de la vie privée.
"J’ai de l’information qui n’a jamais été révélée publiquement",
a-t-il lancé mardi.

Le Dr Jean-Robert Ngola est-il réellement le patient zéro?
Blaine Higgs demande au Dr Ngola de promettre de ne pas le poursuivre
pour violation de la vie privée, ce qui lui permettrait de dévoiler
l’information demeurée secrète jusqu’ici.
Une attaque envers un citoyen racialisé, selon les avocats
L'équipe de défense du Dr Ngola a vivement dénoncé les propos de
Blaine Higgs. Elle se demande à quelles informations il fait
référence.
"Si M. Higgs a d’autres preuves, rien ne l'empêche de nous les envoyer
à nous, les avocats du Dr Jean-Robert Ngola. De cette façon, Dr Ngola
n’aura pas à renoncer à son droit à la vie privée comme le demande M.
Higgs", écrivent dans une déclaration les avocats Christian Michaud et
Joël Étienne.

Ils rappellent que le médecin a fait l'objet de "l’enquête la plus
complète à laquelle un citoyen ait jamais été confronté dans
l'histoire du Nouveau-Brunswick" et qu'il a été entièrement disculpé
vendredi.
"Le premier ministre Higgs a utilisé son titre et son privilège
parlementaire pour attaquer un citoyen racialisé et un homme
innocent", déclarent-ils.
Les avocats ont donné sept jours au premier ministre pour s'excuser à
la suite de l'abandon des accusations. Ils envisagent des actions
supplémentaires s'ils n'en obtiennent pas d'ici la fin de la semaine.

Inacceptable, dit l'opposition
Les paroles du premier ministre ont été vivement dénoncées par
l’opposition à Fredericton.
Le chef du Parti vert du Nouveau-Brunswick, David Coon, a indiqué
qu’il était "inacceptable" pour le premier ministre "d’avoir un enjeu
personnellement avec un citoyen du Nouveau-Brunswick."

Le député libéral de Moncton-Centre, Rob Mckee, a pour sa part ajouté
qu’il était "inquiétant" que le premier ministre détienne de
l’information personnelle liée au Dr Ngola.
"Ça veut dire qu’il est en possession d’information privée que
seulement le bureau du procureur devrait avoir, en ce qui concerne la
poursuite publique contre le docteur, donc pourquoi est-ce que le
premier ministre est en possession de ces informations", a-t-il
demandé.

"Ce n’est vraiment pas la façon dont un premier ministre devrait
agir", a ajouté Rob Mckee.
Blaine Higgs n’a pas voulu expliquer pourquoi il était en possession
d’informations personnelles concernant le Dr Ngola.

>
> 1. On the day of that Friday, May 13, 2011, I had an email from
> Charles LeBlanc saying all of a sudden his blog was shut down.
> However, as I reported at the time, I smelled a rat and I told Mr.
> LeBlanc this and later after that day I asked to do an interview in

> not and I sent Charles a letter and copied all government heads saying
> he would make the perfect stooge for the mayor and others.

> Look at the next few emails, please.

> It was Sally Brooks who wanted me to meet with her and Charles LeBlanc
> at the coffee shop last week and I told Sally I did not trust him.
> She said he has ADHD and is harmless and that when he was in court he
> could hardly talk. I told her that this did not compute in my mind,

> all this stuff on the blog. Sally said just come and see. That
> morning, Charles LeBlanc could hardly look me in the fact and I told
> Sally that and she said she noticed but she felt it was nothing. In
> fact, I gave him $10 for coffee and he took our picture and put it on
> the blog. Howevr, he wanted to only put things on the blog which was
> really Sally and My blog but he wanted to control what went in and
> out. For ex. he did not want to print anything about the letter I
> wrote the Police Commission and I copied other people, including David

> the truth to my mind. He may be blunt, but he says it like it is. I

> Charles LeBlanc ever tell me about Andre Murray's plight with the same
> police officer who beat me, Cst. Nancy Rideout nor did he mention any
> of the facts, but knew my story. I just recently learned of Andre
> Murray and the common denomination we have in common: "police abuse".
>
> Please read the next few emails and see what you think. Then on
> Friday, Sally said she met with Charles at his house and she was late
> to meet me for lunch. She did not mention that they were walking on

> just let Charles do the whole process of the blog and not send

>
> Please remember that nothing about my story was ever written in the

>
> This article traces the rise and fall of one of Canada's
> recently-formed populist, "New right" parties, the Confederation of

>
> On September 11, 1995, the saga of the Confederation of Regions Party
> of New Brunswick (COR-NB) ended, when the party received 7% of the
> votes and no seats in the provincial election. This represented a
> major collapse of a party, which in the 1991 provincial election
> polled 87,256 votes (21% of the total), took 8 seats, and the position
> of Official Opposition in the Legislative Assembly. As it turned out,
> COR-NB's success in 1991 took place in a "populist moment" in New
> Brunswick politics, in which a number of factors came together to
> enable a new party, which rejected "Official Bilingualism" and many of

> success in a province with almost no tradition of third-party

> returned to its historic pattern of two-party competition among
> small-c conservative elites.
>
> The COR Party of New Brunswick
>
> COR-NB was formed in 1989, less than two years after the "McKenna
> sweep" of 1987, in which the Liberal Party under Frank McKenna won
> every single seat in the legislature. In the 1991 election, COR-NB won
> its seats in the South and Central parts of the province, and its
> support was also disproportionately in rural, sparsely populated
> areas. COR took advantage of the voters' underlying concern about
> bilingualism. It did this chiefly in the former heartland of the
> Progressive Conservative (PC) Party.
>
> There are five central points that describe the party's platform and
> principles.
>
> The party was, first of all, a programmatic party, not a brokerage
> party. It had a fixed programme which its activists were unwilling to
> compromise.
>
> Second, it was a protest party with roots in a single issue, that of
> "Official Bilingualism." The party was essentially an "ethnic party"
> representing a segment of English New Brunswick which was extremely
> dissatisfied, to the point of anger, over the direction of public
> policy in the province and the country.1
>
> Third, like Social Credit in Alberta, COR-NB was a populist party and
> it placed high priority on changing the system in addition to changing
> specific public policies. This populism was represented most
> significantly in the inversion of the political hierarcy: For COR
> activists, elected members were responsible to the Electorate first,
> then the Party, and only finally the Leader.
>
> Fourth, ideologically the party is "classical liberal" in the
> nineteenth century sense, which today is best referred to as
> libertarian.
>
> Fifth and finally, like Social Credit in the past, in class terms the
> COR Party is petty bourgeois and lower-middle class in its
> orientation.
>
> This final point is important and too often neglected, and is also
> relevant to other Canadian political experiments, especially the
> Reform Party of Canada. In its heyday the COR Party was dominated by
> middle-income and small-business people, professionals, and the
> self-employed. The middle class is the backbone of advanced industrial
> societies and pays more than its share of taxes and is most likely to
> feel put upon and unable to "get ahead." The party went beyond
> appealing only to "middle-income groups." It was also a reflection of
> those individuals who have an intermediate amount of control over
> their work, including professionals, small business people, and
> independent commodity producers, like farmers, woodlot owners, fishers
> and the self-employed in general. These characteristics are important
> because this class sometimes allies with the working class, sometimes
> with the middle class, and sometimes is alienated from both.
>
> Political parties based purely on the middle class and petty
> bourgeoisie are notoriously hard to hold together. As C. B. MacPherson
> notes, "the petite-bourgeoisie cannot be cohesive" in politics because
> the individualism of members of this class divides it and splinters it
> apart.2
>
> In electoral terms the COR Party was not a party of big business or
> the affluent, even if its programme, especially the provisions that
> weaken government, would seem to provide disproportionate benefits to
> large corporate interests. Yet high income groups and wealth holders
> appear to have stuck with the Liberals and PCs. This is symbolized by
> the close association of the powerful McCain family with the Liberal
> Party, and the fact that one of the McCain spouses, Margaret Norrie
> McCain, was appointed to a five-year term as the province's
> Lieutenant-Governor in 1994. The Irving interests, both individual and
> corporate, are harder to identify with certainty. The descendants of
> the founder of the Irving empire take little public role in partisan
> politics, seeming to prefer to influence the provincial government of
> the day regardless of its political stripe. Judging from the 1993
> federal election and the 1995 provincial election, the Irving
> preference runs towards the "old line" parties and not populist
> alternatives further to the right or the left. In the 1993 federal
> campaign, the Irving interests made financial contributions to both
> the PC and Liberal campaign funds, and not to Reform, the National
> Party or the NDP.3
>
> The Formation of the COR Party
>
> The McKenna Liberals completely dominated New Brunswick politics from
> 1987 to 1989, and New Brunswick was effectively a one-party province
> during that time. Yet the COR Party rose much faster, less than two
> years after the 1987 election, than is usually the case with third
> parties. First of all, this rapid rise is explained by the seriousness
> and longevity of New Brunswick's high unemployment and economic
> hardship over the last 25 years. The Progressive Conservative Party
> was wiped out in 1987 as a repudiation of Richard Hatfield, whose
> longevity in power and personal legal troubles turned the electorate
> against him. Further, the Progressive Conservative Party was slow to
> rebuild, and the leader it finally elected, Barbara Baird Filliter,
> was generally regarded as ineffective. The rapidity of the rise of
> COR-NB was also a response to the McKenna government's desire to
> increase bilingualism in the civil service, an effort which the
> government has since admitted it has not succeeded in achieving.
> Finally, for many activists and voters, federal and provincial
> politics are not separate, and one reason for the rise of the COR-NB
> was the activists' distaste for the Mulroney government, another
> handicap for the provincial PC Party.
>
> A neglected aspect of the rise of COR-NB was its genesis as a social
> movement called the New Brunswick Association of English-Speaking
> Canadians, usually shortened to the English Speaking Association
> (ESA). The ESA was formed in the early 1980s to oppose the extension
> of bilingualism in the provincial government, something that it was
> effective in preventing. The ESA was like a party-in-waiting with a
> membership and an agenda, so that activists were easy to mobilize once
> the decision to form a new party was taken in the late 1980s. By that
> time individuals involved in the organization began to question their
> effectiveness as a lobby group. "We brought our concerns to government
> but it just became frustrating because month after month we were
> bringing the same concerns, getting the same answers, and really not
> getting anywhere," said Arch Pafford, COR-NB's first president, first
> leader, and an ESA activist.4
>
> The ESA was a single-issue social movement and the COR Party inherited
> ESA activists and this issue. Perhaps because of its ties to the
> (now-defunct) federal COR Party, COR-NB quickly developed similar New
> Right policies, including opposition to the Meech Lake Accord and
> support for parliamentary reform, tax reform, privatization, and
> deregulation. While party activists claim the COR Party is not a
> one-issue party, the party, like the ESA before it, would never had
> been formed without Anglophone discontent over the perceived lack of
> jobs for Anglophones, and Official Bilingualism, two phenomena that
> COR-NB activists always linked together. As Sue Calhoun has written,
> "If someone is pushed about why they joined COR, the answer is,
> inevitably, because of language."5 Just as the ESA was a protest
> vehicle, the COR Party was a protest party because of its desire to
> overturn the status quo and because of its dependence on a single
> issue, that of language policy.
>
> The COR Party in Decline
>
> By the fall of 1993, two years after the party's breakthrough in the
> 1991 election, the COR Party was clearly in decline, manifested in the
> party's slide in public opinion polls as well as internal bickering.
> By 1994 the party consistently polled between 3-7% of decided voters
> in various polls (down from 21% in the 1991 election) and its
> membership had plunged from around 20,000 in 1991 to approximately
> 2500 by the end of 1994. To some extent the conditions for the decline
> of the party mirror the conditions under which it arose.
>
> In this section some of the reasons for the party's decline will be
> outlined, but we will concentrate on one of the root reasons for the
> party's problems, that of the incompatibility between the party's: a)
> populism; b) free market ideology, and; c) its role as a political
> party and Official Opposition in the existing system. In contrast to
> many members of the party, the argument presented here is that COR's
> problem was not just a matter of finding a new or better leader.
>
> The party ultimately collapsed because of the membership's approach to
> politics and because a section of the party was unwilling to conform
> to the existing party system.
>
> There are straight-forward reasons for the party's decline that should
> be delineated briefly. First, the departure of Brian Mulroney from
> national politics, and the collapse of the federal PCs in the 1993
> federal election, made it possible for small-c conservatives to return
> to the provincial PC Party. Second, the COR Party suffered a double
> blow from the Charlottetown Constitutional Accord referendum in 1992.
> Since the accord was defeated nationally, constitutional and language
> issues disappeared for a time from the political agenda, which hurt
> the COR Party's ability to grab public attention. Even the province's
> constitutionalization of Bill 88, which declared the equality of the
> Francophone and Anglophone communities in the province, and the 1994
> Québec election, did not excite widespread public attention. The
> second blow was that COR-NB led the anti-accord side in New Brunswick
> in 1992 and yet the pro-accord side won convincingly in the province,
> all of which undermined COR-NB's claim that it represented some kind
> of "silent majority."
>
> Third, the provincial PC Party gained new credibility in the last two
> years because of the effectiveness of its leader, Dennis Cochrane, who
> was elected to that position and to the Legislative Assembly in 1991.
> Even the sudden resignation of Mr. Cochrane in the spring of 1995, and
> his replacement by former Mulroney cabinet minister Bernard Valcourt,
> did not revive COR's fortune's. Fourth, Frank McKenna's Liberal
> government was rightward leaning during its second mandate (1991-95),
> given its attitudes toward individual and provincial self-reliance,
> cuts to social and health services, and its emphasis on job creation
> in the private sector. This also hurt the COR Party because like a
> competent brokerage politician, McKenna's rightward move undercut
> COR-NB support, and this left most opponents of the government in the
> centre (supporting the PCs) or to the left (supporting the NDP, led by
> Elizabeth Weir).
>
> All of these are important reasons for the decline of the party, but
> we should concentrate on another reason, the incompatibility of the
> party's self-identity and its role in the system. The party tried to
> combine populism and free market economics, two ideologies that are
> often in conflict because the interest of the "common man" is often in
> conflict with the interests of even small business, let alone the
> larger firms that dominate the New Brunswick political economy. Like
> the supporters of the United Farmers and Social Credit in Alberta,
> COR-NB members believed in the value of the individual and of free
> enterprise, even though the concentration of capital and high levels
> of unemployment are the result of the particular form of
> resource-based capitalism that exists in New Brunswick. The COR Party
> started as a "revolt against the system," though by 1993 the party
> increasingly internalized the system and so the revolt turned inward,
> with all of the venom once reserved only for the New Brunswick Society
> of Acadians and the established parties.
>
> As the economy and job situation in New Brunswick improved somewhat
> after the recession of the early 1990s, COR-NB lost momentum. (Instead
> of scapegoating Acadians as they did in the late 1980s, in 1995 New
> Brunswick Anglophones were more likely to feel aggrieved at the
> Liberal federal government for tightening the Unemployment Insurance
> rules in the 1994 budget, or for its gun control initiative of 1995.)
>
> There is a serious structural problem underlying these internal
> conflicts, in the form of an ideological conflict between Board
> control and caucus control of the party. As has been stated above, the
> party policy is that an elected member is responsible to the
> electorate first, the party second, and the leader last. Yet under its
> constitution the COR Party—and not the elected caucus—selected the
> leader and the Board of Directors could call a leadership convention,
> which inevitably gave the party control over the elected members.
>
> Greg Hargrove (MLA-York North) said in 1993 that the Board overstepped
> its authority in trying to dump then-leader Danny Cameron because the
> Board is answerable to the membership while the caucus is responsible
> to the electorate. By this line of reasoning, the membership can elect
> a leader but cannot remove a leader, which ultimately sounds like the
> "old-line parties" that the COR Party criticized. This suggests an
> inherent contradiction in the party's inversion of the
> "Leader-Party-Electorate" hierarchy, because elected members cannot be
> responsible to the electorate first given the party's power to remove
> the party leader by calling a leadership convention.
>
> Conclusion
>
> COR-NB was a right-of-centre protest party that picked up on the
> tendency of many New Brunswick Anglophones to blame their economic
> woes on Official Bilingualism, big government, and "special interest
> groups." The COR Party went into the vacuum left by the collapse of
> the provincial PCs, aided by the general weakness of political
> opposition in McKenna's first term and the unpopularity of the
> Mulroney government in the Atlantic region. The political culture of
> New Brunswick was, for a brief period, not as traditional as many
> observers claim, because a significant segment of the electorate
> proved that they were willing to try a political alternative to the
> two dominant parties. By making the COR Party the Official Opposition,
> the voters showed that they were prepared to forgo, both as
> individuals and as constituencies, the benefits of having a member on
> the government side of the house.
>
> The COR Party ultimately declined because of the contradiction between
> its anti-party populism and the realities of operating a political
> party in the existing party system. This essay also shows the risks of
> building a new party based on participatory and populist principles
> when it must function in a "democratic" political system that remains
> hierarchical and discourages active, meaningful, mass participation in
> the process of governing between elections. With the election of 1995,
> the voters have again accepted the elitist political system, in which

> on its style.
>
> The COR Party was formed by a delicate coalition of populists,
> anti-francophone activists, and traditional conservatives. This
> coalition has shattered, and it is unlikely that it will come back
> together in the near future. It may take a generation to rebuild it.
> There is some possibility that populism will make itself felt in the
> coming years, if people increasingly feel alienated from New
> Brunswick's McKenna government and from the Chrétien government in
> Ottawa. The key question is whether any political party can take
> advantage of this populist discontent without itself being consumed by
