Ministers Dorothy Shephard and Trevor Holder resigned over Blaine Higgs’s leadership style and changes made to New Brunswick’s policy on sexual orientation in schools
The move follows the recent resignations of two ministers who objected to the premier’s leadership style and to changes made to the province’s policy on sexual orientation in schools.
The ministers who stepped down were Dorothy Shephard, who served as social development minister, and Trevor Holder, who had been labour minister. It’s unclear whether the Progressive Conservative premier will go beyond replacing Shephard and Holder when the new cabinet is announced. J.P. Lewis, political science professor at the University of New Brunswick Saint John, calls the shuffle notable and interesting.
He says while bringing in new people to portfolios could help Higgs get a handle on the narrative, it could be risky if people who remained loyal to him fail to get a promotion.
