Former House of Commons sergeant-at-arms Kevin Vickers is expected to announce Friday whether he intends to seek the Liberal leadership in New Brunswick.
The retired ambassador to Ireland tweeted Wednesday afternoon that a news conference is set for noon in Newcastle on Friday.Last month he said in a bilingual Facebook post that he would retire as Canada's envoy to Ireland, effective March 2, and return to his home in Miramichi, N.B.
In December, Vickers indicated an interest in the job but at the time said he was a "long ways from making a decision."Lisa Harris, the Liberal member for Miramichi Bay-Neguac, says it's a big day for the province to have Vickers considering a run for the leadership."Liberals are very excited about Kevin Vickers even considering putting his name into this race."He has a long career of public service, including 29 years in the RCMP.
The New Brunswick Liberal party won just 21 seats in last fall's provincial election -- one fewer than the Tories. The Liberals relinquished their hold on power in November after losing a confidence vote in the legislature.
