Bruce Fitch, previously minister of Social Development, is the new health minister. Shephard takes over his former portfolio. The health authority boards have been replaced by trustees.
My story this morning that required a right to information request, a complaint to the ombud when the province wouldn’t release the report, and patience.

Organigram didn't regularly clean cooling towers linked to 2019 legionnaires' outbreak: ift.tt/3BWm18n
Thanks to @kdonk for her help in finding some previous rulings I cited as part of the complaint. If you’re curious what a complaint looks like, here’s the one filed for this report:
Background on the complaint in this story from last summer: cbc.ca/news/canada/new-bruns…
The tweet indicates RCMP in the Moncton area are issuing the alert, though the children were last seen in the Miramichi area.
"Restructuring will be coming," Daniel Allain, the province's minister of local governance reform, told reporters Friday.
Allain said the government will cut the number of local governance entities from 340 to fewer than 100.
That suggests some level of amalgamation is coming.
I didn't get into the details in the story, but replacing older water and sewer lines has been taking place regularly across the city.
A 2018 report shows some of the infrastructure we rely on for drinking water and to flush away our waste is very, very old.
Here’s what led to Moncton city council going into a private meeting Monday night:
Moncton councillor's conduct, comments about city committee member under review: ift.tt/3BL3vAm
As a reminder, these private meetings are closed to media and the public.
Any decisions made at these meetings need to be voted on during a public meeting, which is usually the only hint we get about what's occurred behind closed doors.
Almost immediately after Moncton council started tonight, councillors have just voted to move into a private meeting.
Frank Vandenburg, chair of the city's enhancing democracy committee, was speaking about recent issues at a committee meeting.
So to reiterate, the motion calls for the city to hire an expert next year to review policing services.
The section on pausing construction of the new police station was removed.
Moncton council voted unanimously Monday in favour of reviewing whether to keep the RCMP or move to another policing model.
But, there's no clear timeline yet on that review.
