New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs has been accused of launching a "vicious verbal attack" against a member of the provincial Progressive Conservative party’s governing body who questioned his leadership. Higgs is facing a revolt within his PC caucus and in the party over his leadership style, which critics say is a top-down system that ignores expertise and allows little input from ministers and MLAs. Two ministers, Dorothy Shephard and Trevor Holder, have resigned from his cabinet in the last two weeks over their concerns about his approach. Higgs's spokesperson Nicolle Carlin told CBC News on Monday morning that the premier will shuffle his cabinet on Tuesday.
