FREDERICTON - Susan Holt says it hasn’t sunk in yet that she is New Brunswick’s premier-designate. The day after her Liberal Party won a convincing majority in Monday’s provincial election, Holt says she feels grateful for the opportunity to serve, and that she recognizes the seriousness of the responsibility — and the amount of work ahead.

New Brunswick voters have elected a Liberal majority government, tossing out the incumbent Progressive Conservatives after six years in power and handing the reins to the first woman ever to lead the province.
