    2 April 2020 Hon. Mary Wilson, Minister of Economic Development and Small Business Chancery Place, PO Box 6000 675 King Street Fredericton, New Brunswick E3B 1E9 Via email: [email protected] Re: Government of New Brunswick Support for Business Through COVID-19 Crisis Dear Minister Wilson: Thank you for the effort and long hours put in by you, your team and all of government as the COVID-19 crisis continues to evolve and we begin to get a clearer picture of the resulting economic devastation that is growing daily. We appreciate the actions taken by your government to date including an extension to the property tax appeal deadline, a pending loan program through Opportunities New Brunswick, the Workers’ Emergency Income Benefit and using ONB’s Business Navigators to provide guidance. Payment deferrals by NB Power and WorksafeNB will also be helpful. These are dynamic circumstances and unlike anything we have faced in our lifetimes - it will be critical to maintain open lines of communication between government and business in the weeks and months ahead. As time passes, it is becoming clearer that in order to weather this economic storm, businesses throughout the province will require more assistance from the Government of New Brunswick. We also understand the position articulated by Premier Higgs that the Province’s strategy is to fill gaps identified in the federal government’s support. To that end, below is a list that summariZes the various relief measures that our organizations have previously communicated to you and/or your colleagues that are solely within the purview of the Government of New Brunswick: • Defer all taxes and fees owed to the Government of New Brunswick until revenue streams improve – specifically this would include property taxes.

  • 5 Ridings That Will Decide Election
    20 août 2018 – Telegraph Journal 5 RIDINGS THAT WILL DECIDE ELECTION ADAM HURAS LEGISLATURE BUREAU They are the ridings that the experts believe will decide the provincial election. “Depending on what happens in about five ridings, it will be a Progressive Conservative or Liberal government,” Roger Ouellette, political science professor l’Université de Moncton said in an interview. J.P. Lewis, associate professor of politics at the University of New Brunswick added: “It feels like the most likely scenario is a close seat count.” Brunswick News asked five political watchers for the five ridings to watch over the next month leading up to the Sept. 24 vote. By no means was there a consensus. There were 14 different ridings that at least one expert included in their top five list of battlegrounds that could go one way or another. “Right now, based on the regional trends, it’s really hard to call,” MQO Research polling firm vice president Stephen Moore said. Six ridings received multiple votes. The list is heavy with Moncton and Fredericton ridings. 20 août 2018 – Telegraph Journal Meanwhile, a Saint John riding and another in the province’s northeast were cited the most as runoffs that could make or break the election for the Liberals or the Progressive Conservatives. Gabriel Arsenault, political science professor at l’Université de Moncton 1. Saint John Harbour: “It was tight last time and (incumbent MLA Ed) Doherty screwed up, so I’m putting my bets on the Tories,” Arsenault said. The Progressive Conservatives called on Doherty, the former minister in charge of Service New Brunswick, to resign amid last year’s property tax assessment fiasco.

  • What Is Acadians' Electoral Weight in N.B.?
    5 octobre 2018 – Telegraph Journal What is Acadians’ electoral weight in N.B.? GABRIEL ARSENEAULT & ROGER OUELLETTE COMMENTARY Acadian Day festivities take place along Water Street in Miramichi. Scholars Gabriel Arseneault and Roger Ouellette write: ‘Since Acadians do not have enough clout in enough ridings to be indispensable to political parties, they must avoid being taken for granted or ignored by political parties.’ PHOTO: JEREMY TREVORS/MIRAMICHI LEADER Francophones now represent about one-third of New Brunswick’s population. How does this demographic weight translate into electoral clout? In which ridings do Acadians have the most influence? And for whom do Acadians vote? This demographic importance is fairly accurately reflected in the electoral boundaries, as shown by the most recent data from the Electoral Boundaries and Representation Commission of New Brunswick. Of the 49 ridings represented in the Legislative Assembly, 16, or 32.7 per cent of the total, have a majority of registered voters whose only mother tongue is French. Francophones also account for more than 20 per cent of the electorate in seven other ridings. In other words, the Acadian vote appears unavoidable in just under half of the ridings, or 23 out of 49. On the other hand, a clear majority of the ridings, 26 out of 49, contain less than 15 per cent francophones. In principle, it would therefore be possible for a party 5 octobre 2018 – Telegraph Journal to obtain a majority of seats without being overly concerned about the French- speaking vote. Over the past 100 years, Acadians have mainly supported the Liberal party.

  • Affirmative Gatekeeping
    Affirmative Gatekeeping: Informal Influences on Behalf of Women Candidates Quinn M. Albaugh∗ First Draft: May 23, 2019 This Draft: November 1, 2019 Abstract Political parties increasingly use voluntary targets (or \soft quotas") as a way to increase women`s representation. How can party actors enforce these targets in practice? In this paper, I develop the concept of affirmative gatekeeping { party actors' attempts to use organizational resources in pursuit of the goal of increasing the nomination of members of marginalized groups. I assess the effectiveness of this approach through a field study of Lib- eral party nominations in a Canadian provincial election. I draw on a multi-method design that combines electoral results, political finance records, elite interviews and participant- observation of nominating conventions. I find that affirmative gatekeeping was effective in helping the Liberals meet their gender target. However, affirmative gatekeeping fell short on three important normative standards. First, it only produced a marginal increase in the number of women elected. Second, it did not institutionalize representation for future elec- tions. Third, it did not meaningfully increase the nomination of disadvantaged sub-groups of women. ∗Department of Politics and Woodrow Wilson School, Princeton University.
