Premier David Alward says he’s ready and willing to sit down with independent Fundy River Valley MLA Dr. Jim Parrot, but doubt he’ll see a change.
Parrot was ousted from the Tory caucus in September after he criticized the party for not listening to doctors when making decisions on healthcare. Alward says he understands Parrot wants to meet with him, and he will, but adds that so far he’s seen no change in Parrot’s attitude.
Alward says when Parrot made his comments he broke their trust, which is why they made the difficult decision to cut him from the Conservatives.
Alward says they did wish him well over the holidays, when Parrot underwent heart surgery.
