'Process failed' in travel-nurse contracts, former PC health minister says
Dorothy Shephard says ‘more investigation’ may be needed into invoices paid without proper documentation
A former provincial health minister in the Progressive Conservative government says key failures at the heart of the costly travel-nurse contracts may need more investigation.
Progressive Conservative MLA Dorothy Shephard made the comments Tuesday during the first of three days of hearings by the legislature's public accounts committee.
She told Eric Beaulieu, the deputy minister at the Health Department, that she was struck by how many invoices were paid to private travel-nurse companies without proper documentation of services being delivered.
"Process is what protects everybody," Shephard said. "I think one of the big concerns with the auditor general's report is that somehow, process failed.
"It didn't just fail in one sector. It failed over three separate entities, and that's cause for a little bit of concern, I think, and maybe even more investigation."

Beaulieu was the deputy minister of social development when that department signed a contract with Canadian Health Labs Inc. for travel nurses in long-term care in early 2022.
He became deputy minister of health on June 30, 2022, just 29 days before the first of three travel-nurse contracts was signed between the Vitalité health authority and Canadian Health Labs, a private company.
Beaulieu said the system was under severe staffing pressures at the time "and obviously shortcuts were done" in the accounts payable process.
Shephard acknowledged that the COVID-19 pandemic was creating widespread staff shortages but argued this ought not to have affected how bills were paid.
"I can easily understand the need to get bodies to the front line," said the Saint John Lancaster MLA, who is not running again in this year's election. "That's a really easy no-brainer.
"But the process for paying invoices is usually pretty much the same, day in and day out. That's why I'm concerned about that failure in process."
Shephard's comments at the committee are her first public remarks on the travel-nurse controversy since Auditor General Paul Martin released a scathing audit on the contracts earlier this month.
She turned down a request from reporters to elaborate during a break in Tuesday's committee session.
Martin's audit reported that:
-
The Social Development Department paid Canadian Health Labs without requiring evidence that work was done and without ensuring the amounts complied with the long-term-care home contract in early 2022.
-
The department paid travel expense claims based on missing or incomplete information.
-
Horizon Health paid many travel expense claims to its travel-nurse providers without documentation, and some payments were higher than what was allowed under their contracts.
-
More than one-quarter of $23 million worth of work-hour invoices to Vitalité that Martin examined were paid despite not having required signatures from hospital supervisors.
-
Vitalité also paid many invoices without proper documents, including for car rentals, accommodation and meals.
Martin's report examining $173 million in spending on travel-nurse contracts, including $98 million paid by Vitalité to Canadian Health Labs, has become a major political issue for the Higgs government.
Beaulieu backed up statements by Health Minister Bruce Fitch earlier this month that officials at the Health Department only began to realize in early 2023 how much the health authorities were spending on travel nurses.

Vitalité's contracts with Canadian Health Labs continues until 2026 and allows the company to be paid in some cases where there's no need for its nurses.
It also allows for the contract to be renewed automatically at that time as long as the company meets certain language service thresholds.
Social Development Minister Jill Green said in the legislature earlier this month that the government was looking for ways to "extricate" Vitalité from its contract.
Beaulieu told the committee Tuesday that "our ability to intervene on any of the contracts is non-existent."
Auditor General Paul Martin's report on the travel nurse contracts used this example of a Canada Health Labs invoice, which he said 'does not include staff names, locations or dates of work.' (Attorney General of New Brunswick annual report)
He said government lawyers have been giving the health authority advice on how to lower its costs under the contract, but the department's focus has been to reduce the need for travel nurses by recruiting more nurses to work directly in the system.
"The only way to eliminate the need for travel nurses on an ongoing basis is to have more human resources," Beaulieu said.
Beaulieu said 12.6 per cent of nurse positions in the health care system are vacant now.
Former PC minister questions travel-nurse exemption granted by colleague
MLA Ross Wetmore says small Social Development contract 'ballooned' into $173M expense
For the second straight day, a former Progressive Conservative cabinet minister has strongly criticized the PC government's handling of costly travel-nurse contracts.
Gagetown-Petitcodiac MLA Ross Wetmore suggested that Service New Brunswick Minister Mary Wilson should have taken a closer look in 2022 before signing an emergency exemption that allowed contracts to be awarded without a competitive bidding process.
"When funding came across my desk, I asked questions," Wetmore, a former minister of agriculture, aquaculture and fisheries, told reporters.
"If something was a million dollars and they asked for a minister's exemption, I'd be asking questions."

The exemptions were approved by the deputy minister of social development, using a regulation that allows departments to bypass normal procurement rules in an emergency.
But because the deals were worth more than $1 million, the exemptions required the approval of the minister of Service New Brunswick, which oversees contracting, before the contracts could be signed.
Wetmore said, during a meeting of the legislature's public accounts committee, that the two seemingly small contracts set the stage for the $173 million that taxpayers have now forked over for travel nurses — with more costs still to come.
"The door got opened with Social Development," Wetmore told the department's deputy minister, Jim Mehan, saying a $2.7 million agreement with Canadian Health Labs Inc. had "ballooned" and "snowballed" into the much larger sum.
"I'm sorry I'm picking on you," he told Mehan, "but … this is where it started."
Service New Brunswick did not acknowledge a request for an interview with Wilson about the exemption she approved, but spokesperson Jennifer Vienneau said in a written statement that "SNB only approves the exemption to the procurement process, not the contract."
She said Wilson's approval in 2022 followed regulations under the Procurement Act and was granted "in response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic at that time."
A 'failure in process'
The travel-nurse contracts have become a major political headache for the Higgs government in the wake of a scathing report by Auditor General Paul Martin.
On Tuesday, former health minister Dorothy Shephard called the contracts — one of which is still in force and can be renewed automatically — a "failure in process."
Social Development signed the first two agreements in early 2022 with two companies that provided nurses and other staff to fill severe staffing shortages in long-term care homes, caused in part by COVID-19 outbreaks.
"Obviously we exhausted as many possible options as we could prior to that," Mehan told the committee.
He said based on "quick research," the department identified four potential travel-nurse suppliers, and Canadian Health Labs and another agency, Plan A, were "the only two at the time that could provide resources immediately. … We did what we had to do."
Jim Mehan, deputy minister of Service New Brunswick, said the contracts did not favour the province, but options were limited. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
The result, he said, was that the department signed contracts drafted by the companies themselves.
"These contracts did not favour GNB," he said.
He confirmed that he signed one of the contracts when he was acting deputy minister and the other was signed by Elizabeth Dubee, then the assistant deputy minister for seniors and long-term care.
She had experience negotiating contracts and signed the Canadian Health Labs agreement without the benefit of legal advice, Mehan said — a fact that Wetmore said he found disturbing as a former cabinet minister from 2018 to 2020.
As a minister, he was not allowed to sign a contract worth more than $500,000 without additional layers of scrutiny, he told Mehan.
"I understand the sense of urgency, but I don't think we can use that as a legitimate reason or excuse.
"Never once have I been able to go in, tell them 'this is what it is, take it or leave it,' and gotten a contract."
Should have negotiated 'harder'
According to Martin's audit, Canadian Health Labs forced the province to agree to a bundled team of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and personal support workers at $9,995 per day for "up to" eight hours of work — even if they weren't all needed.
"I cannot understand the province of New Brunswick agreeing to CHL — I don't care how hard up we are — to take a bundle when we don't need everybody," Wetmore said.
As a cabinet minister and a business owner, he later told reporters, "never once have I ever gone in … and said, 'Listen, you don't want widgets, but you're going to get widgets whether you want them or not.'"
The veteran MLA, who is retiring this year after 14 years in the legislature, said he believes if the province had "negotiated a lot harder," it might have obtained better terms from the company.
Social Development's agreements ended in 2022, but the Vitalité health authority is still under contract with the company until 2026.
Vitalité's three contracts with Canadian Health Labs have cost a total of $98 million, Martin's audit revealed.
"What the [Social Development] department has done is opened up the door," Wetmore said.
"This has ballooned from when you folks started … and it hasn't stopped yet."
Officials from Vitalité are scheduled to take questions from the committee starting at 9 a.m. Thursday.
Vitalité CEO says top health official gave 'green light' to travel-nurse contracts
France Desrosiers says Higgs government turned down other options that would have cost less
The CEO of the Vitalité health authority says costly travel nurse contracts were the result of pressure from the Higgs government to fix the health-care system quickly — and a refusal by that same government to approve other, less expensive options.
Dr. France Desrosiers told a committee of MLAs Thursday morning the health network was given a "mandate" in the summer of July 2022 to rapidly improve health care following the death of a patient in a Fredericton hospital emergency department.
"We were mandated to fix the situation quickly," she said. "The pressure was high. It was one minute to midnight."
Vitalité was in the midst of a staffing crisis at the time that left the authority on the verge of closing hospital emergency departments in two regional hospitals, the CEO said.
Dozens of other departments were unable to function, she added. Dialysis patients who normally required four hours of treatment were getting three hours.
Desrosiers said she met at the time with the new deputy minister in the health department, Eric Beaulieu, who promised to provide funding if travel-nurse costs put Vitalité into a deficit.
Earlier this week Beaulieu, in his own appearance at the committee, backed up the health minister's claim that the cost implications only became clear to the department in early 2023. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
She said she would not have signed the contracts otherwise.
"He used those words, 'I'm giving you the green light to go ahead,'" Desrosiers told MLAs on the legislature's public accounts committee.
"'It's understood that this will cost tens of millions of dollars?'' she recalled saying in the meeting.
"'Yes, it's understood,'" she quoted Beaulieu responding.
Earlier this week Beaulieu, in his own appearance at the committee, backed up Health Minister Bruce Fitch's claim that the cost implications of the contracts only became clear to the department in early 2023.
In a written statement, Fitch said Desrosier's comments "appear to be designed to deflect from the organization taking responsibility for their actions."
He pointed out that Vitalité paid "significantly more" for travel nurses than Horizon Health — something Desrosiers has explained stems from its greater need for bilingual personnel.
Fitch also claimed that some MLAs "chose to use today to attack hard-working public servants," though he didn't elaborate.
Lack of due diligence, auditor general says
Vitalité's leadership was the last group of officials to respond to the committee's questions following a scathing report by Auditor General Paul Martin that slammed what he called a lack of due diligence in the awarding of $173 million in travel nurse contracts.
Health authority officials said the spending could have been much less had the Higgs government approved nine other options their team presented to the province in the second half of 2022.
These included retention bonuses, bonuses for nurses who were close to retirement but chose to stay, premiums for nurses willing to move to units with critical shortages, payments for unused sick leave and flexibility on vacation scheduling for nurses lacking seniority.
All were rejected.
That left Vitalité no choice, Desrosiers said, but to ramp up the use of travel nurses at what she acknowledged was a huge cost.
"I can't tell you that a human life isn't worth what we paid," she said.
Health Minister Bruce Fitch says team-based practices are a 'win-win.' They provide New Brunswickers with the care they need, 'at the right time and in the right place, from the right provider," while offering a better work-life balance for health professionals. (Ed Hunter/CBC)
The health authority's assistant CEO, Patrick Parent, told reporters later that the other options would have been less expensive and would have at least reduced the dependence on the expensive travel nurse contracts with private company Canadian Health Labs.
"It would have diminished the need greatly. Would that have mean that we'd have more options to go with different firms? Highly likely," he said.
"I'd like to believe, and the team would like to believe, that our options and flexibility would have increased dramatically if that had taken place."
Opposition MLAs said Vitalité's appearance shed new light on the origins of the contracts and it may be worth the committee holding more hearings or requesting documents.
"I don't think we're completely at the bottom of this yet," said Green MLA Megan Mitton.
Liberal MLA Keith Chiasson said he'd like to ask Beaulieu about the "green light" he apparently gave to travel nurses.
"New information is coming out. … For sure I'd like another kick at the can to ask him — to ask him why."
Former health minister Dororthy Shephard said near the end of the day's hearing that a judicial inquiry should be called, something the committee doesn't have the power to do.
The committee held a brief closed-door meeting afterward but the chair, Liberal MLA Chuck Chiasson, refused to say what it decided.
Premier Blaine Higgs has questioned the value of the contracts, and Health Minister Bruce Fitch has refused to express confidence in Desrosiers in the wake of the audit, saying that's up to the Vitalité board.

The CEO told reporters Thursday she felt like she'd been thrown under the bus by the government.
She reminded MLAs during her appearance that the lack of documented approval for the contracts — which Martin's report criticized — had its origins in Higgs's sweeping changes to health-care leadership in July 2022.
"Our premier appointed trustees to reduce the administrative burden and speed up decisions and eliminate obstacles quickly," she said.
Vitalité's largest contracts, costing a total of $98 million so far, were with Canadian Health Labs. The last of the three agreements remains in effect until February 2026.
Those agreements include so-called "bundled" teams of nurses at a cost of more than $18,000 per day, working out to approximately $306 per hour per nurse.
The company "practically had a monopoly," because it was the only agency that offered a guarantee it could get French-speaking nurses into place quickly, the CEO said.
That made it "almost impossible" to negotiate a better deal, she said.
Desrosiers told the committee that Canadian Health Labs practically had a monopoly as it was the only available company offering travel nurses who could speak French. (New Brunswick Legislative Assembly)
Martin's audit criticized what he called an "auto-renewal" clause that allows the contract to extend past February 2026 if the company meets certain thresholds for bilingual nurses.
But Parent told the committee that Vitalité's interpretation of the clause is that it's at the health authority's discretion whether to renew the contract.
That issue, and a disagreement over whether Canadian Health Labs was billing fair market prices to the health authority for some expenses, are both the subject of a dispute resolution process between the company and the health authority, he said.
Vitalité board chair Tom Soucy said that process is why the health authority didn't want to hand over three internal audits of the contracts to Martin's office.
He said the health authority was willing to give Martin the audits if he promised not to make the information public, but the auditor general wouldn't provide that guarantee.
"Large boards are usually non-efficient," he said. "The more people there is, the harder it is to take decisions."

"Hey Higgy while you were meeting with the boyz a lady working for Dr. France.Desrosiers called me with private number in order to laugh and play dumb about my Health Care concerns EH?"
For the record Parent and Higgy know that Vitalité has threatened to sue me because I could not pay them with a credit card and my debit card did not suit them anymore. I told them please do but look out for the counterclaim because I want ALL the money I gave them BACK
In March of 2022 after calling Parent again a lady working for Dr. France Desrosiers called me with private number in order to laugh and play dumb about my Health Care concerns
When a Doctor working within Vitalité sent me a letter demanding to paid in advance before she would do anymore tests on me that she was requesting that took the cake. I sent he and the CEO the same email and I got a check in the mail from that doctor with explanation After that Higgy gave a Health Card and I switched to doctor working with Horizon However I still want ALL my money back from Desrosiers et al

But no, instead Higgs govt chose to give away precious tax-payer dollars, money that does not even circulate in our local economy, to a private company and in doing so demoralised our own local nurses, already working under strain.
"according to contracts obtained by The Globe, CHL billed regional health authorities in the two Atlantic provinces at rates of up to $300 an hour per nurse.
That is TWICE what other agencies charged and SIX TIMES what local nurses earn in the public system, according to the report.
It was also found that CHL (founded in 2020) was charging Atlantic hospitals for nurses'meals when in fact nurses never got free meals, ever.
CHL is gouging hospitals with impunity.
Now the union says paying the health care staff more money would have been a lower cost option. So which was it, overwhelmed, burning out, sick, or just crying wolf?

It blows my mind that they did not try to use the other recommended options of enticing the nurses they already had instead of going with the most expensive route of sighing a contract with only one company that realized they had the government over a barrel and could make up their own terms.
And now they are trying to put the blame on Desrosiers! This just highlights how willing this government is to blame other people and to not tell the truth about their actions. In order for this province to be a better place to raise our families Higgs has to be shown the door this fall.

Higgs doubles down, blames poor Vitalité management for costly travel nurse contracts
Premier issues statement in response to CEO's comments at public accounts committee Thursday
Premier Blaine Higgs is disputing claims by the CEO of Vitalité Health Network that costly travel nurse contracts were the result of a refusal by his government to approve other, less expensive options to deal with the staffing crisis in 2022.
Dr. France Desrosiers told a legislative committee Thursday that the $123 million in contracts were awarded due to pressure from the Higgs government to fix the health-care system quickly — and after nine other proposals, such as retention bonuses and premiums for working in short-staffed units, were rejected.
In a written statement issued Friday afternoon, Higgs said, it's "inaccurate" to say Vitalité's recommendations were less expensive or would have resolved issues more quickly.
"Vitalité was proposing long-term, permanent changes to how nurses are compensated, which ultimately would have cost taxpayers significantly more," he argued.
The options presented by Vitalité could not be unilaterally implemented by the government either, said Higgs. Any changes to compensation for nurses, such as pay and vacation days, must be negotiated with the New Brunswick Nurses Union. "As everyone knows, union negotiations take time."
While Higgs acknowledged there was an urgency to fill vacancies during the COVID-19 pandemic, "there was absolutely no direction by our government or by public servants for the CEO to sign long-term contracts," he said, noting the current contract doesn't expire until 2026, and it is set to automatically renew, without any end date.
"The CEO is seeking to blame non-partisan public servants for poor management decisions that she made," Higgs alleged.
"The real issue is that a very poor contract was signed," he said. "We continue to call on the board of Vitalité to find a legal way to end this contract."
CEO opts to 'take the high road'
In response, Desrosiers issued her own statement Friday, saying it's "very unfortunate that we are at this stage.
"To bring further transparency, the measures proposed were not intended to be permanent and amounted to $25M for the Network for each year they would be in place," she said.

"As for the approvals and the perspective on leadership, the Network will opt to take the high road and focus its efforts on providing care to its patients and communities."
Auditor general slams 'lack of accountability'
Auditor General Paul Martin also took issue Friday with comments made by Vitalité leadership during their public accounts committee appearance, following his scathing report earlier this month about travel nurse contracts and what he concluded was a lack of due diligence.
"To publicly call into question the work of the Office of the Auditor General adds to our concern regarding the lack of ownership and accountability displayed by Vitalité," Martin said in a statement.
"We encourage government to hold Vitalité accountable and trust our recommendations will be taken seriously and implemented in a timely fashion."

Martin found Vitalité's contracts with private nursing agencies, were "not reflective of best practices and did not demonstrate value for money."
What is "quite scary," he told MLAs, is that the current contract with Canadian Health Labs allows the company to deploy nurses "regardless of the actual need" and still be paid up to $85 million during the life of the agreement.
"As the independent arm of government charged with providing assurance and advice regarding the stewardship of public funds, we follow professional audit and quality assurance standards and ensure that appropriate evidence is obtained to support our findings and recommendations," Martin said Friday.
"Our team of experienced audit professionals performed extensive testing, analysis and review that led to reporting on Vitalité's failure to ensure appropriate contract management and oversight."

She was not the CEO yet Correct?
She certainly doesn't want Nb'ers to remember that she was a top advisor to Brian Gallant when Dr. Cleary was fired for speaking up too much (and we all know about what, and then the why).
She should own it . It’s the right thing to do.

No retention bonus talk during wave of departures: deputy minister
Contracts have already cost taxpayers more than $174M
An “unprecedented” wave of worker departures in 2022 that led to the signing of controversial travel nursing contracts didn’t make the province consider paying retention bonuses to the remaining workforce because it believes that should be part of collective bargaining, Deputy Health Minister Eric Beaulieu said on Tuesday.
And despite the other Atlantic provinces giving nurses retention bonuses in recent years, New Brunswick has “struggled to get any real concrete information” from Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward that shows they work.
In Fredericton on Tuesday, Beaulieu faced questions from a legislative committee in the wake of a damning report from auditor general Paul Martin about the travel nurse contracts, which have already cost taxpayers more than $174 million.
While he spent hours repeatedly saying that there’s not much the health department can do about the contracts because they were signed by the Regional Health Authorities (RHAs) Horizon and Vitalité, Beaulieu did offer insight into the government’s thinking about retention bonuses.
“The only thing I can really answer is that … any kind of retention bonus should be done at the bargaining table,” Beaulieu said in response to a question from Green MLA Megan Mitton.
His original answer – before Mitton interrupted him and asked him to specifically speak about retention bonuses – was to cite a long list of initiatives the government has undertaken to improve nursing numbers.
Contract talks between the province and the New Brunswick Nurses Union (NBNU), which has consistently called for the province to pay retention bonuses, are currently underway.
NBNU president Paula Doucet recently told Brunswick News that she repeatedly asked the province to follow the other Atlantic provinces’ lead on retention bonuses, but was told “there’s no money.”
Mitton was clearly unimpressed with Beaulieu’s answer, saying it didn’t answer her question about what happened in mid-to-late 2022, when the travel nurse contracts were being signed, and why retention bonuses weren’t “considered a possible solution when there was a desperate need, and when our neighbouring provinces were doing it.”
She added that Beaulieu’s response made it sound like “I’m not going to get an answer to that.”
Beaulieu also spent time extolling the province’s work to recruit more nurses, and the net workforce gains it’s made in recent years. Doucet told Brunswick News that using that metric is simply playing a numbers game, and that the number that really matters is vacancies within Horizon and Vitalité – some of which have risen in the last two years.
He also revealed he had a “very, very short conversation” with the CEO of Canadian Health Labs (CHL), which signed travel nurse contracts with Vitalité, and in other provinces. Beaulieu said he was attempting to negotiate some of the terms of the contracts, but was rebuffed.
Horizon Health Network
Horizon Health Network president and CEO Margaret Melanson also appeared before the committee on Tuesday afternoon. In mid-2022, she said, the network was facing an “unprecedented” wave of nurse exits and was struggling to get COVID-19 cases under control.
It all added up to “an untenable situation,” Melanson said, and after she briefed Beaulieu on the situation, Horizon signed its first travel nurse contracts; so far, they’ve cost taxpayers about $54 million.
Melanson said her meetings with Premier Blaine Higgs at that time were “very sporadic,” and she said he didn’t ask about travel nurse contracts, and she didn’t say anything about them.
She also said she couldn’t “speculate” about whether retention bonuses would have slowed the wave of departures, and that Horizon was told by the province that any discussions about bonuses would be settled in collective bargaining.
Unlike Vitalité, Horizon didn’t sign any contracts with CHL. Melanson said that’s because Horizon wasn’t interested in any long-term contracts, and wanted to have the flexibility to “engage and disengage” with travel nurses as quickly as possible.
The hourly rates being charged were another big point of focus, she said.
Other officials appearing before the committee this week include Jim Mehan, the deputy minister for the Department of Social Development, and Vitalité Health Network president and CEO Dr. France Desrosiers, who will appear with Vitalité board chair Tom Soucy.

Date: 20151223
Docket: T-1557-15
Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015
PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
BETWEEN:
DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
Plaintiff
and
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Defendant
ORDER
(Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
December 14, 2015)
The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
in its entirety.
At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
(now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that letter
he stated:
As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
You are your brother’s keeper.
Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police.
In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
[1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion. There
is no order as to costs.
“B. Richard Bell”
Judge

already) you will find the text of just two of many emails I had sent

Dear Mr. Amos,
Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off

was not ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns.
As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position
is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process
testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the
Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these
services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this

As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false
imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear
that Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada
the US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment
and policing in Petitcodiac, NB.

Integrity commissioner calls for tougher conflict-of-interest law
N.B. legislation should apply to apparent conflicts, not just actual
ones, Alexandre Deschênes says
By Jacques Poitras, CBC News Posted: Jun 12, 2017 6:30 AM AT
Alexandre Deschênes's first act as commissioner was to deal with
Victor Boudreau's 20 per cent investment in Shediac Campground Ltd., a
proposed 700-site facility that has generated local opposition.
(Jacques Poitras/CBC)
New Brunswick's integrity commissioner says the conflict-of-interest
law for politicians should be toughened to clarify cases such as
cabinet minister Victor Boudreau's former investment in a proposed
campground near Parlee Beach.
Alexandre Deschênes said earlier this year that Boudreau's stake in
the project did not put him in a conflict of interest but that the
appearance of a conflict was "inevitable."
Unlike other conflict-of-interest laws, "our act does not apply to an
apparent conflict of interest," he said in an interview with CBC News.
"It's not in there."
Previous commissioners suggested law
Boudreau recused himself from Parlee Beach issues anyway, even though
he didn't technically have to. The law said ministers aren't in a
conflict if decisions that affect their private interests also apply
to the general public.

Victor Boudreau case shows 'huge loophole' in conflict law, ethics
group says
"Mr. Boudreau could have gone on and said, 'I'm the minister of health
and I'm going to make decisions that apply to the general public and
the act allows it,'" Deschênes said.
"If you'd had the words 'apparent conflict of interest' [in the law]
it would have been clear."
Deschênes pointed out two of his predecessors as conflict-of-interest
commissioner, Pat Ryan and Stuart Stratton, recommended expanding the
act to include the appearance of conflicts.
"It started out way back," he said. "We're looking at almost a decade
here where the suggestion has been made that apparent conflict of
interest ought to be included in the act. It's not been done.
"But as a commissioner, I will be following what they've been doing
and I will be recommending it when I file a report."
Updated conflict act
The Gallant Liberals passed amendments to update the Members Conflict
of Interest Act during the spring session of the legislature, but they
did not include a ban on perceived conflicts.
Progressive Conservative MLA Brian MacDonald has also called for the
Liberals to fix what he calls "a gap in the law."

include the Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

Cabinet minister Victor Boudreau recused himself from the Parlee Beach
issues anyway, even though the law said ministers aren't in a conflict
if decisions that affect their private interests also apply to the
general public. (CBC)
Deschênes's first act as commissioner was to deal with Boudreau's 20
per cent investment in Shediac Campground Ltd., a proposed 700-site
facility that has generated local opposition.
As health minister, Boudreau oversees the public health offices, and
his department was part of a working group looking at how to deal with
fecal contamination at Parlee Beach. One option the group looked at
was a moratorium on new development near the beach.
That would have affected the proposed campground.
'I told him, and he made it public, that the appearance of
conflict in this case was absolutely inevitable. He couldn't get
around it. It was there.'
- Alexandre Deschênes
The law bans ministers from making decisions that affect their
"private interest," but it makes an exception if the decision applies
to the broader public, even if the minister would still benefit.
Deschênes said in his letter to Boudreau in March that "one could
argue" a decision on a moratorium would affect the broader public.
"Under the act, he might have been entitled to continue to have
discussions that applied to the general population, even though he was
part of [the project] at that point," Deschênes said in an interview
last week.
"I told him, and he made it public, that the appearance of conflict in
this case was absolutely inevitable. He couldn't get around it. It was
there."
An MP's perceived conflict matters
The federal conflict of interest code for MPs also includes an
exception for decisions that affect the general public, but it
includes an explicit reference to perceived conflicts.
Boudreau put his investment in a blind trust in 2014, which meant he
had no role in the running of the business. But the value of his stake
would have been affected by a moratorium on future development.
Parlee beach
In May, Victor Boudreau announced he was giving up his investment in
the campground on Parlee Beach altogether.
He said in March he learned of the potential moratorium Feb. 28 and
met with Deschênes March 2, the first date they could arrange it.
"That perception is the issue," Boudreau said at the time. "And if the
perception is the issue, and the perception is what's going to be
prevent us from getting to the bottom of it, then I'm prepared to
recuse myself from all activities relating to this committee."
Last month he announced that he was giving up his investment in the
campground altogether.
Deschênes said he believes most ministers and MLAs would do the same
thing if he told them there was an apparent, but not actual, conflict.
"In most cases I think they will listen and they will do what has to
be done to put an end to an apparent conflict of interest, although
technically they could continue to do what they want to do."

Boudreau should recuse himself from anything government. How he got

Last month Boudreau announced that he was giving up his investment in

Past two days Parlee Beach had "No Swimming Advisory" and today as
well. I wonder if Boudreau would have gave up his investment under the
old water advisory system that he defended...Victor Boudreau dismisses
call for Parlee Beach sign improvements. The health minister said
people can "use their own judgement" on whether they want to go into
the water.

@William Roberts I tried the water of the political sewer once in 2006
while intervening in the NEB Emera Pipeline hearing and I got all of
44 votes in Saint John Harbour. Trust that I was not surprised. I
learned something long ago when my Father and his PC friends were
disgusted that the lawyer Trudeau "The Elder" was having fun falsely
claiming he said "Fuddle Duddle" on the Hill. In a nutshell it is that
nobody gives a damn just as long as our politicians appear to be cool
dudes. Nothing has changed since.

The selection of Dr. Louis Lapierre, recipient of the Order of Canada
whose Medal was revoked because because of his recognized lack of
needed competence which he falsified is a documented example of how
strong this influence and consequences of this mis-guided forest
management has destroyed the Fish and Wildlife habitat and populations
in New Brunswick. This design of forest management supported by
industry, impacts negatively on our Grand Children's heritage, forcing
them to leave their native province because of lack of work.

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.
Conflict of interest commissioner, MLAs have conflicting views on
transparency
Commissioner wants mandatory privacy breach reporting
N.B. legislature will study cutting independent watchdogs
And next September, after Anne Bertrand, the information and privacy
commissioner, finishes her seven-year term, that job will become part
of Deschênes's job as integrity commissioner.
An independent study, done as part of the government's program
review, recommended the merging of the legislative officer positions.
All parties in the legislature agreed on two other appointments
Wednesday: lawyer Michèle Pelletier as consumer advocate for insurance
and assistant deputy attorney general Kim Poffenroth as chief
electoral officer.J

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-richar
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
Liberal Party of New Brunswick," MacDonald said.
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.

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

"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."
http://baconfat53.blogspot.com
"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?

Subject: Final Follow up: Your registration as an independent candidate
Mr. Amos:
Following the Chief Electoral Officer's request by telephone on May
28, 2014 and his previous e-mailed requests for additional information
with respect to your registration as an independent candidate (please
see below), and having not received that information despite having
provided you with several opportunities to furnish the requested
information, he has now directed that said registration be cancelled.
Should you wish to re-apply for registration as an independent
candidate, you may do so after 60 days following the cancellation of
your present registration as provided for under subsection 146.1(1) of
the Elections Act.

Subject: Follow up: Your registration as an independent candidate
Mr. Amos:
At the request of Mr. Michael Quinn, Chief Electoral Officer of the
Province of New Brunswick, I am writing to summarize his phone call to
you this afternoon, reminding you of his message of May 14 (see
below). In the message he left on your voice mail, he granted you a
few more days' grace and asked you to return his call at (506)
453-2218. He added that should he not hear from you by then, he would
proceed to cancel your registration as an independent candidate as
provided for in the Elections Act.

> 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.
>

> 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
