The province's COVID-19 dashboard is a little less transparent this morning. The field showing total doses received (allowing a quick calculation of unused doses in New Brunswick) is gone, as is the "shots this week" field. Fortunately the federal government maintains a website on the vaccine delivery schedule to the provinces, and the table at the top shows doses received by each province. canada.ca/en/public-heal…

Asked on @infoamfred about a listener suggestion he raise taxes on the “super-wealthy” such as the Irvings, Premier Higgs says the tax agreements with First Nations were creating “super-wealthy” reserves to the detriment of non-Indigenous New Brunswickers. Yesterday Finance officials provided documents showing Madawaska Maliseet First Nation received $18 million from the tax agreements, the highest last year. Forbes estimates Arthur Irving's current net worth at $1.9 billion. forbes.com/profile/arthur…

BREAKING: the New Brunswick government is terminating tax-sharing agreements with 13 First Nations bands in the province. Seven agreements are subject to a one-year review and will expire next April. Six others include a 90-day notice period, and the province is giving that notice today to end the deals in July.

Liberal MLA Brian Kenny is up first and asks zero questions about this story. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne… Kenny was part of the Liberal cabinet that approved $6.7M from Regional Development Corporation.
