He issued a challenge to newly-elected MLA’s telling them remember the common constituent, New Brunswick.
“There will be debates ahead, probably more than we thought but that’s ok because together we will find a way through this,” Higgs said, “let’s remember that all 49 of us share a common constituent, the province that we love.”
Higgs says it’s not exactly what he had in mind but it will be politics done differently.
He invited every MLA to work in the service of solutions saying New Brunswick deserves better and Higgs says they will work with everyone to do just that.
