16 juillet 2018 – Acadie Nouvelle DÉCÈS DE L’ANCIEN PM RAYMOND FRENETTE Le 28e premier ministre du Nouveau-Brunswick est mort, a annoncé le gouvernement provincial, samedi. Selon l’avis de décès publié par le centre funéraire et de crémation Frenette, Raymond Frenette s’est éteint vendredi au Centre hospitalier universitaire DrGeorges-L.-Dumont de Moncton. Il était âgé de 83 ans. Natif de Shediac, M. Frenette a été député libéral de la circonscription de Moncton-Est pendant 25 ans à l’Assemblée législative. Il a brièvement été premier ministre intérimaire du Nouveau-Brunswick du 14 octobre 1997 au 14 mai 1998 après la démission de Frank McKenna. Camille Thériault lui a succédé. Après avoir lui-même démissionné de son poste de député, M. Frenette avait été nommé directeur d’Énergie atomique Canada par l’ancien premier ministre fédéral Jean Chrétien. Il a plus tard occupé le poste de président du conseil d’administration de l’agence. 16 juillet 2018 – Acadie Nouvelle Dans le communiqué de presse publié samedi, l’actuel premier ministre de la province Brian Gallant a déclaré que Raymond Frenette avait été un mentor pour lui lorsqu’il a envisagé pour la première fois une carrière dans la fonction publique. M. Gallant a ajouté que la province «venait de perdre un grand Néo-Brunswickois». Il précise que M. Frenette était respecté autant chez les libéraux qu’au sein des autres partis politiques. La cause du décès n’a pas été dévoilée. Ses funérailles seront célébrées jeudi matin en l’église St-Joseph, à Shediac. Raymond Frenette a deux fois tenté de devenir le chef du Parti libéral du NouveauBrunswick. Il a été défait par Doug Young en 1982 et par Frank McKenna en 1985. Son discours lors du congrès au leadership de 1985 avait fait écarquiller les yeux, alors qu’il s’était lancé dans une attaque tous azimuts contre M. McKenna. Cela n’avait pas été suffisant pour renverser la vapeur et il avait dû s’incliner. Raymond Frenette s’est ensuite rallié au nouveau chef. Frank McKenna l’a nommé ministre de la Santé (1987-1991), leader parlementaire (1987-1997), président de la commission de l’énergie du N.-B. (1991-1995), puis ministre des Affaires intergouvernementales et des Affaires autochtones et vice-premier ministre du Nouveau-Brunswick (1995-1997). L’Université de Moncton a diffusé un communiqué de presse afin de pleurer la perte «d’un grand homme politique». Elle entend honorer la mémoire de M. Frenette en mettant ses drapeaux en berne dans ses trois campus le jour des funérailles. L’U de M a remis un doctorat honorifique en sciences politiques à l’ancien premier ministre en 1994. En 1998, le pavillon qui abrite le Centre de formation médicale en Atlantique a été baptisé en son nom. «Un ami de l’Université, M. Frenette a grandement contribué à la vie politique néo-brunswickoise. Nous nous souviendrons toujours de ses réalisations», a déclaré le recteur par intérim de l’établissement d’éducation postsecondaire, Jacques Paul 16 juillet 2018 – Acadie Nouvelle Couturier. «Il avait tellement de connaissances et ses conseils, qu’il dispensait avec générosité, étaient précieux. Il faisait toujours preuve d’une grande sagesse.» .

If We Could All Be Peter Lougheed” Provincial Premiers and Their Legacies, 1967-2007 1
“If we could all be Peter Lougheed” Provincial premiers and their legacies, 1967-2007 1 J.P. Lewis Carleton University [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Introduction For a variety of reasons, the careers of Canadian provincial premiers have escaped explicit academic attention. Premiers are found frequently in Canadian political science literature, but more for direct roles and actions – in questions of the constitution, federalism, public policy and electoral and legislative studies – instead of longitudinal study and analysis. This fits a pattern of neglect in the field; some academics have lamented the lack of direct attention to provincial politics and history (Brownsey and Howlett 2001). The aggregate imprints of premiers are relatively ignored outside of regional and provincial treatments. No pan- Canadian assessment of premiers exists, and probably for good reason. The theoretical and methodological concerns with asking general research questions about premiers are plenty; leadership theory and historical approaches provide some foundations but any approach is going to confront conceptual challenges. This is where this study is found – in a void of precedents but a plethora of qualitative data. 2 Regardless of methodological challenges, some historians, political scientists and members of the media have not shied away from ranking and assessing national leaders. Some of the more popular treatments (from the popular culture version to the more academic approach) include Ferguson’s Bastards and Boneheads , Granatstein and Hillmer’s Prime Ministers: Ranking Canada’s Leaders , and Bliss’s Right Honourable Men . Bliss (xiv), the esteemed historian, is skeptical of such endeavours, “While this is Canadian history from Parliament Hill, I am not a Hegelian and I do not believe that political leaders, least of all prime ministers of Canada, are personifications of the world spirit.

L'assemblée Législative Du Nouveau-Brunswick À L'ère Du XXI Siècle
L’Assemblée législative du Nouveau-Brunswick à l’ère du XXIe siècle Donald Desserud, Institut des études urbaines et communautaires Stewart Hyson, Département d’histoire et de sciences politiques Université du Nouveau-Brunswick (campus de Saint John) Saint John (Nouveau-Brunswick) E2L 4L5 Courriels : [email protected] et [email protected] Produit pour le Groupe canadien d’étude des parlements, Ottawa, 20111 Groupe canadien d’étude des parlements Introduction Lorsque le Nouveau-Brunswick est entré dans la Confédération, en 1867, les fondations du modèle de Westminster de démocratie législative (à savoir un gouvernement représentatif et responsable) étaient déjà en place. De telles institutions étaient typiques dans les colonies britanniques de l’époque, caractérisées par un électorat relativement restreint, une activité gouvernementale de portée limitée et des méthodes de prise de décisions élitistes. Toutefois, si les institutions parlementaires et la culture politique d’autres anciennes colonies britanniques ont évolué de la fin du XIXe siècle au début du XXe siècle, il semble que le Nouveau-Brunswick, lui, se soit figé dans le temps. Au sujet de la propension au clientélisme et à la corruption dans la province, Patrick Fitzpatrick a écrit, en 1972, qu’on pourrait décrire la politique provinciale au Nouveau-Brunswick comme fermée, stagnante et anachronique et qu’elle rappelle, sous certains abords, la politique qui avait cours au XIXe siècle en Grande-Bretagne avant le mouvement de réforme (116; voir également Doyle, 1976, et Thorburn, 1961). Quoi qu’il en soit, les bases de la réforme avaient déjà été jetées. Les années 1960, en particulier, ont été balayées par de grands changements sur le plan de la gouvernance, des services sociaux, de l’éducation et de la redistribution des revenus, grâce au programme visionnaire « Chances égales pour tous » du premier ministre libéral Louis Robichaud, au pouvoir de 1960 à 1970 (Stanley, 1984; Young, 1986, 1987; ICRDR, 2001; Cormier, 2004).
