Premier Shawn Graham and the members of the Executive Council were sworn in during a ceremony held at the New Brunswick Legislative Assembly in Fredericton.
Referencing the provincial motto Hope Restored , Graham spoke about the new government's vision for New Brunswick.
"Ours is a province built on hope. Hope Restored is not simply a motto in New Brunswick; it is a way of life," Graham said. "Our government will continue to choose hope each and every day. We will not lose a moment to fear or complacency. Ours will be a government based on hope and hard work.
"We will put New Brunswick on the road to self-sufficiency; we will work with our teachers to build the best education system in this country; we will be a North American leader in energy generation and conservation, and we will make economic development a priority again."
