New Brunswick’s first woman premier, Susan Holt, to be sworn in on Nov. 2

FREDERICTON – New Brunswick’s Liberal premier-designate and the rest of the newly elected members of her team are scheduled to be sworn in on Nov. 2.

Liberal Leader Susan Holt has announced a transition team as she prepared to take the reins of the province.

She says in a news release that the four-person transition team has the expertise and experience to ensure a smooth transfer of power from the Progressive Conservatives.

Later today, the new Liberal caucus is scheduled to have its first in-person meeting.

On Wednesday, Holt attended the 50th annual general meeting of the New Brunswick Nurses Union and promised to improve conditions for health-care employees.

In Monday’s election the Liberals won a convincing majority with 31 of 49 seats, while the Progressive Conservatives won 16 and Greens took two.
