  • Speech from the Throne 2015
    Mr. Speaker, Honourable Members of the Legislative Assembly, invited guests and all New Brunswickers. Welcome to the opening of the Second Session of the 58th Legislative Assembly of the Province of New Brunswick. Your government remains focused on three priorities: making the choices that must be made to get our finances in order so we can invest in the priorities of New Brunswickers; growing the provincial economy to create new jobs; and making strategic investments in programs like health and education to make New Brunswick the best place to raise a family. Governments across Canada and around the world are facing change. Whether these changes are due to shifting demographics or financial pressures, these governments are looking at ways to deliver services in a better and more cost-effective manner to meet the needs of their citizens. Strategic Program Review is the means by which government will deliver on these priorities. Strategic Program Review is about more than just achieving balanced budgets. It is about making choices that will allow the province to have a sustainable budget into the future and afford the health, education and other social services that New Brunswickers expect and deserve, while creating the conditions for new jobs. Much has occurred that warrants our recognition since the last session of the New Brunswick Legislature. On behalf of the Province of New Brunswick, I offer my congratulations to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the New Brunswick Members of Parliament: Dominic LeBlanc, René Arseneault, Serge Cormier, Matt DeCourcey, Pat Finnigan, TJ Harvey, Alaina Lockhart, Wayne Long, Karen Ludwig and Ginette Petitpas Taylor.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Canadian Parliamentary Guide / Guide parlementaire canadien has been published nearly every year for over 150 years, since before Confederation. This 2019 edition is the twelfth to be published by Grey House Publishing Canada. An indispensable guide to government in Canada, it provides information on both federal and provincial governments and their elected and appointed members. It is largely bilingual, with many re- cords appearing in English and in French. The Parliamentary Guide contains 2,800 biographical sketches. These include members of the Governor General’s Household, the Privy Council, members of Canadian legislatures (House of Commons and the Senate, provincial and territorial), members of the Federal Superior Courts and the senior staff for these in- stitutions. It provides descriptions of each of the institutions, including brief historical information in text and chart format and significant facts (e.g. number of members and their salaries). The Parliamentary Guide cov- ers the results of all federal general elections and by-elections from Confederation to the present and all pro- vincial/territorial elections, including the most recent general elections in Ontario (June 7, 2018), New Brunswick (Sept. 24, 2018) and Québec (Oct. 1, 2018). ARRANGEMENT Introducing this Grey House Canada edition is a 4-colour photo gallery of the Maclean's Parliamentarians of the Year for 2018, and an updated analysis by Ensight Canada of how the Liberal government has per- formed since the 2015 election. New in this edition are statistics on female and Indigenous representation in government, as well as federal election spending, and Highlights of Significant Changes, which details ma- jor changes and events that have occurred in Canadian politics since the last edition.
