Despite recent controversy surrounding health care reform in rural New Brunswick, Premier Blaine Higgs has the third highest approval rating among Canada’s premiers according to a new survey.
Angus Reid says Higgs has a 48 percent approval rating which is unchanged from December.
Higgs recently lost his deputy premier MLA Robert Gauvin, who resigned and quit the Progressive Conservatives opting to sit as an independent.
Gauvin was upset over a plan to close overnight emergency rooms in six communities which was later cancelled.
