FREDERICTON — New Brunswick’s Tory leader says his first priority “when” he becomes premier will be to find a solution to the province’s paramedic shortage. But they have a week to give us options.”There are more than 100 paramedic vacancies in the New Brunswick and response times for ambulances are slipping. “I have to look at this in a holistic manner.”In fact, Coon said he was concerned that Higgs did not address climate change in his response to the throne speech. So we’re going to have to go back to him to make sure that’s part of his throne speech going forward,” Austin said. If the Liberals lose the confidence vote on Nov. 2, Higgs said he expects a Tory throne speech could be delivered by late November or early December.
