New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt and her cabinet speak to members of the media outside the New Brunswick Legislative Assembly shortly after the swearing in ceremony in Fredericton on Nov. 2. New Brunswick ’s newly elected Liberal government officially took power on Saturday at a ceremony that saw the party’s leader become the first woman to serve as premier in the province’s history.
Francine Landry, member for Madawaska Les Lacs-Edmundston, was sworn in as the first francophone female Speaker of the legislative assembly.
