It’s official — Dominic Cardy is no longer a member of the Progressive Conservative caucus.
The move comes a day after Cardy unexpectedly resigned as minister of education and early childhood development
In a letter, Premier Blaine Higgs said caucus found his conduct and actions over the last few days to be “inexcusable.”
The premier referred to a meeting with Cardy on Thursday morning where he expressed concerns about the education system and informed him of plans to remove him from the cabinet.
Higgs said he was “surprised to immediately receive your resignation letter.”
He called the content of Cardy’s resignation letter as “vindictive and misleading.”
Higgs described it as “unfortunate and hurtful” that he would choose to leave this way.
Higgs said he plans to move forward and do the hard work their team was elected to do adding he is focused on making improvements “that benefit New Brunswick in critical areas like health and education.”
He ended the letter by saying it’s important to “rise above” and stay focused on the mission at hand before signing with the words “province before politics.”
