PC dissidents submit letters to trigger review of Higgs leadership

Letters from 26 riding presidents are first step in bid to remove premier

They said in a statement that they're taking the "drastic and rarely used step" because of Higgs's approach to governing as premier.

Party president Erika Hachey confirmed in an email that staff at the party office received the letters Thursday morning.

"The premier would have you believe this is solely about one policy," the dissident group says in a statement, referring to the controversy over Policy 713. "Not true.

"This is about a pattern of autocratic leadership over the past three years that has resulted in serious missteps and the undermining of New Brunswickers' confidence in the Progressive Conservative government."

It takes letters from 50 party members, including the presidents of 20 riding association presidents, to force the provincial council of the party to hold a vote on a review.

The statement says letters from 26 riding presidents and the "necessary documents" from other party members were submitted.

It's signed by Marc Savoie, the president of the riding association in Moncton East.

That is the riding now represented by MLA Daniel Allain, one of two ministers Higgs dropped from his cabinet in a shuffle Tuesday.

He and Jeff Carr were among the ministers who voted with opposition MLAs to pass a motion on June 15 calling for more consultations on Policy 713, which sets out protections for LGBTQ students in provincial schools.

Two other ministers who voted with the opposition, Dorothy Shephard and Trevor Holder, resigned ahead of the shuffle, citing Higgs's top-down leadership style.

The provincial council must vote at its next meeting by a two-thirds majority on holding a convention where members would vote on whether to remove Higgs.

"This will be a divisive and bruising process for our party. We still hold out hope the premier will avoid this and step down," Savoie's letter says.

It criticizes Higgs for not holding a policy convention with grassroots PCs since becoming leader in 2016.

It also cites what it calls a "stunningly ill-advised attempt" to replace French immersion, a cancelled 2020 plan for nighttime closures of emergency departments in six small hospitals, the elimination of elected spots on regional health authority boards and the neutering of decision-making powers of anglophone district education councils. 

The letter also slams Higgs for what it calls "condescension and neglect" toward francophone and Indigenous communities, which it says has led to "barely breathing" PC organizations in northern New Brunswick and a "needless" court battle with the Wolostoqey nation.

Questions premier's sincerity

Savoie said in an interview he believes those who want Higgs gone will have two-thirds support on the provincial council to hold a convention.

After Tuesday's cabinet shuffle, Higgs said he would try to mend fences with unhappy party members in the coming weeks.

"I think we have some building to do, there's no question of that. I need to play a key role in that, reaching out to the membership, the executives throughout the province, and be able to sit down and have some very good discussions." 

Savoie said in an interview he questions if that's sincere.

"He hasn't in the last six years. He hasn't done that at all. So we seriously doubt that he would start now." 

In a statement Thursday, Higgs repeated his previous assertion that the review push is tied to Policy 713.

He pointed out the process is "long and detailed" and said while it unfolds he'll focus on governing in the best interests of all New Brunswickers.

If Higgs truly believed he has the majority of the party supporting him, he should agree to a leadership review.

Dissenting minister who survived New Brunswick cabinet firings puzzles scholar

Daniel Allain and Jeff Carr were fired for publicly opposing government policy but not Arlene Dunn

"The convention of cabinet solidarity was broken by all three," said Emmett Macfarlane, a political scientist at the University of Waterloo.

"Arguably the premier has misunderstood the convention."

On Tuesday, Higgs shuffled his cabinet and removed former local government minister Daniel Allain and former transportation minister Jeff Carr.

Two weeks earlier the pair, along with then social development minister Dorothy Shephard and then post secondary education minister Trevor Holder and two additional backbench government MLA, voted for an opposition motion to further study government changes to Policy 713, which covers the treatment of LGBTQ students in public schools.

Shephard submitted her resignation from cabinet on June 15 following the vote, as did Holder days later.

A fifth government minister, Arlene Dunn, was not in the legislature for the vote but publicly announced the following day she, too, would have sided against the government had she been there. 

On Tuesday, while Allain and Carr were fired, Dunn retained her job and was given additional responsibilities.

Higgs explained that although Dunn had publicly opposed the government's plan in interviews and public statements, that wasn't the same violation of cabinet solidarity committed by those ministers who voted against it.

"When you have cabinet ministers who take a position against the government in the legislature, it's very significant," said Higgs.

"If you look at the parliamentary system we operate under, cabinet support is paramount."

But Macfarlane said that is not a full understanding of the principles and traditions involved.

"The convention does not apply to voting. It applies to any public disagreement with the government," said Macfarlane.

He explained that in a parliamentary system the premier and cabinet ministers are "collectively" responsible for government policies and decisions and are required to defend all of them, even those they might disagree with privately, or resign.

Dunn, he argues, was in the same position opposing the government's changes to the 713 policy outside the legislature as Carr and Allain were voting against it inside the Legislature. 

"You have a real problem when a cabinet minister even just articulates dissent," said Macfarlane.

"Under our traditional view of the convention of cabinet solidarity the minister should have actually resigned."

No 'hard' rules

Greg Flynn, chair of the department of political science at McMaster University in Hamilton, said Higgs can do as he pleases because parliamentary traditions are not "hard and fast rules" and can be applied or not at the premier's discretion.

However, he said it is difficult to argue any parliamentary tradition would suggest treating Dunn differently than Allain and Carr.

"Generally speaking, any deviation or expression of disapproval from a government's position/policy should trigger either a resignation by the Minister or dismissal from Cabinet," wrote Flynn in an email about the issue.

Yan Campagnolo, a law professor at the University of Ottawa, does see some room for Higgs to treat Dunn's opposition to the government policy differently than the other ministers, but said all three were on thin ice.

"In a system of cabinet government, a minister who cannot publicly support a significant government policy would normally be expected to resign," said Campagnolo.

A man wearing a suit jacket standing outside with his arms crossed University of Ottawa law professor Yan Campagnolo says ministers who cannot support a government policy normally resign on principle. (University of Ottawa)

In his view, a minister voting against the government in the legislature is "the ultimate form of dissent" that no premier would tolerate, but he said it's not clear to him if Dunn's absence from the vote was a scheduling problem or a deliberate decision not to embarrass Higgs.

"Arlene Dunn's case is not as clear cut," he said.

Higgs had publicly announced prior to the vote in the legislature that he would not be requiring government MLAs to support any particular position and on Wednesday Carr said that signaled to ministers they were free to vote their conscience.

"It's not a whipped vote and nobody asked us how we were going to vote," Carr told CBC News.

But Macfarlane said that's not how cabinet solidarity works, either.

He said free votes for cabinet ministers are rare and always explicit, and he said every minister who feels it important to be publicly critical of a government policy or to vote against it, normally would resign their cabinet position on their own beforehand.

"We would always, except for very rare exceptions in Canadian history, expect cabinet members to vote with the government. That is in fact the convention of cabinet solidarity,"  said Macfarlane.

Maybe Dunn isn't male enough for Higgs to feel threatened when she stands up to him.

Then why were his statements about what was in the changes at odds with the actual text? Why wouldn't he at least read the changes before speaking to the press?

There's also the fact he was elected a couple of weeks after the start of the first school year the policy was in effect, so he may never have dealt with it while in the school system.

Former Higgs cabinet ministers level tough questions at government

Three former cabinet ministers take aggressive approach at public accounts committee


Jacques Poitras· CBC News· Posted: Feb 18, 2021 5:00 AM AT


Public accounts committee meetings have included tough questions for government from three former Higgs cabinet ministers. (Karissa Donkin/CBC)

They're not exactly rebels, but a trio of backbench Progressive Conservative MLAs have been flexing their independence at the legislature's Public Accounts committee and turning its livestream into must-see political TV.

Last week the three Tories, all former ministers dumped from the PC cabinet last fall, put the spotlight on school construction decisions, slow ambulance response times and unspent climate funds.

All three exchanges were compelling, and all three topics are potentially uncomfortable or awkward for the PC government.

"The goal is not to be quiet and go and hide when you're in government," says one of the MLAs, Jake Stewart, who represents Southwest Miramichi-Bay du Vin. "The goal is to work on behalf of constituents."

Stewart asked Auditor General Kim Adair-MacPherson about her recent conclusion that the Ambulance New Brunswick contract favours urban areas because missed response targets in rural areas get less weight in the calculations.

Stewart's hometown of Blackville was one of the affected communities and he said during the meeting he wants the contract changed.

"That issue is extremely important where I live," Stewart told CBC News. "I don't think it would be possible for me to be there on that committee and not ask those questions."

New Maryland-Sunbury MLA Jeff Carr kicked off the pot-stirring last week when he endorsed Adair-MacPherson's finding that the construction of a new school in the riding of Education Minister Dominic Cardy was not based on evidence.

"I think we have to pay attention to what you offer us and try to make the changes for everybody involved," Carr told her. 

He added that an upgrade to Oromocto High School, which serves his riding, was "pushed way over to the side" when the Hanwell school was able to "jump the queue."

Stewart followed up later the same day with his comments on Ambulance New Brunswick.

"Ambulance coverage is human life. It's life and death," he told Adair-MacPherson.

"The need for a new contract is evident, because we can't allow rural areas of the province to suffer. … That's not acceptable to any taxpayer or any citizen of New Brunswick." 

The next day, Fundy-The Isles-Saint John West MLA Andrea Anderson-Mason used courtroom-style cross-examination questioning to reveal that almost $4 million in carbon tax revenue wasn't spent on climate change projects as required in 2018-19. 

"There's always a risk in terms of not spending the full budget," deputy environment minister Cade Libby acknowledged after a series of rapid-fire questions from the former attorney general.

The three episodes caught the attention of the opposition Liberals.

"Normally that doesn't happen," said Victoria-La Vallée MLA Chuck Chiasson, a veteran of the public accounts committee."Quite honestly, it took me off guard.

"I actually texted one of the other [Liberal] people on the committee … and I said 'Are you giving them these questions?' I thought, 'Gee, those are the questions we need to be asking."

Carr and Anderson-Mason did not respond to interview requests.

Stewart's approach 'nothing new'

Stewart says he wasn't looking for an "aha moment" and his approach was nothing new.

"I think I've always been fairly independent," he says. "I've been accused of it, or guilty of it, for a number of years."

He said backbench MLAs like him can "scream at the top of your lungs," or they can use the committee system to work "in a professional and precise way" raising issues important to their constituencies.

"Public accounts does provide a significant forum to drill down on the issues that really matter," he says. 

All three MLAs were cabinet ministers in Premier Blaine Higgs's minority government. But when the PCs won a majority last September, Higgs shuffled them out in favour of newcomers. 

Stewart was Aboriginal affairs minister before the shuffle and supported calls for an inquiry into systemic racism, putting him at odds with Higgs.

After her demotion, Anderson-Mason complained about the slow pace of government action on broadband internet in her riding, which Higgs labelled "sour grapes."


Jamie Gillies, political scientist at St. Thomas University, says MLAs outside cabinet are a little freer to work for their constituents. (CBC)

Chiasson said last week's questions may reflect "a little bit of frustration, a little bit of division" within the PC caucus, but political scientist Jamie Gillies of St. Thomas University says not to read too much into it.

"I don't think I would describe it as even dissent in the caucus or a revolt, but I think what we're seeing is maybe a little bit of an evolution since the election," he says.

"They're feeling a little more comfortable to say, 'You know, we're not down a couple of seats here. We've got a majority and I don't like how this is being treated within caucus,' or 'I agree with the auditor general on this.'"

The Health Department says it continues to discuss a new ambulance contract with Medavie Health Services New Brunswick, which operates the service.

""""PAC is supposed to be non-political or non-partisan, but I've never seen it function that way, so yeah, they can bring on more.- Chuck Chiasson, Liberal MLA

"These discussions are ongoing and no decisions have been made," said spokesperson Bruce Macfarlane.

Education officials also appeared at the committee last week and explained the school ranking formula needed changes to account for rapid population growth in Fredericton and Moncton. That led to the approval of the Hanwell school, they said.

Libby told Anderson-Mason that while the provincial carbon tax deposited $37.4 million in the climate fund in 2018-19 for projects, the government only spent $33.7 million of it. 

It was the first public acknowledgement that $3.7 million wasn't spent the way it was supposed to be spent. Libby said the department hoped the money would be rolled over to be used in 2019-20, but it turned out that would violate federal climate plan requirements.

"The government has committed to spending this particular budget on climate change initiatives," he said.

Non-partisan intent

Gillies says PC MLAs acting more independently "could become a problem if it gets a little bit out of control," but it's normal members no longer in cabinet will become more vocal advocates for their ridings. 

School upgrades and construction are "a good thing to raise if you're looking to get re-elected and you want to voice the concerns of your constituents," he says.

With a minority government, "there's always the pressing issue of whether we can keep the government going," but now that the PCs have a majority, "they can be a little more aggressive in advocating for things."

Chiasson says he hopes for more tough questioning from the three PC MLAs.

"It's always good to see. PAC is supposed to be non-political or non-partisan, but I've never seen it function that way, so yeah, they can bring on more."

>>> 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.

>>
>> I.                    Introduction
>>
>> [1]               On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos)
>> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
>> against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million
>> in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial
>> Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary
>> properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety
>> that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
>> Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
>> (Claim at para. 96).
>>
>> [2]               On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a
>> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
>> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
>> amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
>> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
>> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the
>> Prothontary’s Order).
>>
>>
>> [3]               On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
>> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
>> Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
>> Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages
>> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
>> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
>>
>>
>> [4]               Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
>> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
>> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016.
>> As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
>> cross-appeal.
>>
>>
>> II.                 Preliminary Matter
