From September 7 to September 11, 2018 500 New Brunswickers, 18 years of age or older, who have the right to vote in New Brunswick, randomly recruited from LegerWeb’s online panel. Using data from the 2016 Census, results were weighted according to age, gender, mother tongue, region and level of education in order to ensure a representative sample of the population. For comparison purposes, a probability sample of 500 respondents would have a margin of error of ± 4.38%, 19 times out of 20. 2 METHODOLOGY Notes on Reading this Report The numbers presented have been rounded up.

  • 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.

  • Reimaging a Better, Stronger New Brunswick: How Might We Help?
    A letter to the Premier, the Honourable Blaine Higgs: Reimaging a Better, Stronger New Brunswick: How might we help? Office of the Premier Chancery Place 6th Floor P. O. Box 6000 Fredericton, NB E3B 5H1 Canada Re: Reimaging a Better, Stronger New Brunswick – How might we help? Dear Premier Higgs, Let us begin by first offering our sincere thanks for your strong leadership throughout the current Covid-19 crisis that we are collectively faced with as Canadians. We are grateful and inspired by the commitment and collaboration shown across governments and throughout our communities. Everyone is doing their part and going above and beyond to ensure that New Brunswick comes through this in a way that strengthens us as people and a province. There have been many articles, theories and roadmaps for recovery from Covid-19 and, at times, it is overwhelming. There is no playbook to draw from and the task ahead daunting. Over the past four weeks, a number of leaders representing businesses, not-for-profit and the immigration sector have been meeting weekly to share information, support each other and think about: How can we collaborate to best contribute in a meaningful way that is helpful to government? Through our learning and discovery as a group, we looked at the way forward as having three phases: 1. Response – The government and communities’ response has been nothing short of amazing! We are so encouraged and grateful for the leadership and rapid response that has led New Brunswick’s risk level to be minimal. This has set us up to deal with the crisis effectively and to minimize the impact on New Brunswickers.

  • Higgs Premier of New Brunswick Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick Fredericton, New Brunswick E3B 1C5
    Canadian Public Affairs 222 Queen Street, Suite 1404 Ottawa, Ontario K1P 5V9 March 20, 2020 The Honourable Blaine Higgs Premier of New Brunswick Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick Fredericton, New Brunswick E3B 1C5 Dear Premier Higgs, I’m writing on behalf of Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) to urge you to designate the construction industry, including companies that sell, rent and service construction equipment and related supplies, as essential businesses that should continue to ensure our nation’s roads and bridges and other important infrastructure assets, can be built and maintained while fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. AED is the international trade association companies that sell, rent, service and manufacture construction, mining, farm, energy, forestry and industrial equipment and related supplies. The Canadian equipment distribution industry, which is dominated by small-medium-sized, family- owned businesses, has more than 420 locations across the country that employ over 27,000 workers and account for at least $8 billion in annual economic activity. AED members are already going to great lengths and following the recommended public health guidance to ensure the infrastructure needs of our country continue to be met. Shutting down their ability to do so will not only impact the economic viability of our member companies, but also the entire country. As your government continues the tireless work to limit the spread of COVID-19 through urging Canadians to work from home and self-isolation measures, it is important that the construction industry and those that support it are able to perform the work necessary to build and maintain our critical infrastructure.
