Statement from Premier Pillai on New Brunswick election

Premier Ranj Pillai has issued the following statement:

“On behalf of the Government of Yukon, I would like to congratulate Susan Holt and the Liberal Party of New Brunswick on their success in yesterday’s election.

"This is truly a historic moment, not just for New Brunswick but for all of Canada, as Premier-designate Holt will become the first woman to serve as Premier in the province's history. Her success marks a significant milestone for leadership, gender equality and the advancement of progressive politics across our country.

“I look forward to working with the Premier–designate Holt, as we both prioritize transparency, teamwork and empathy. By focusing on progressive values and driving meaningful collaboration, we can achieve concrete results that benefit the residents of both New Brunswick and the Yukon.

“I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Blaine Higgs for his service to New Brunswickers. Your service has left a mark on the province and I wish you the best in your next chapter.”
