Susan Holt will be sworn in as New Brunswick's premier on Saturday, marking the first time a woman has held the position. This follows the Liberal Party's majority win in the October 21 election, replacing outgoing Premier Blaine Higgs. Holt's new cabinet will include 19 ministers, an increase from the previous cabinet of 16. The larger cabinet reflects her approach to leadership, emphasizing collaboration among her team of 31 Liberal MLAs. The swearing-in ceremony will take place at the New Brunswick Legislature at 2 p.m. on Saturday, with the new members of the legislative assembly being sworn in earlier that day.
