Flemming Jokes About His Cabinet Colleagues

Provincial Health Minister Ted Flemming may have missed his calling as a stand up comedian. He displayed these hidden talents at the announcement of the Innovation Fund as he acknowledged various members of the provincial cabinet.
 

Flemming joked about how well dressed Saint John Portland MLA Trevor Holder always is, describing him as "a dapper dude" who one day looks like Donald Trump and the next day resembles Al Capone.
He also says Saint John Lancaster M-L-A Dorothy Shephard tries to keep him on the straight and narrow but sometimes tells her if he wanted to be nagged, he would go home.

Flemming also talked about Premier David Alward's character, telling how he could have gotten his son a job anywhere in New Brunswick but instead put him on a plane to Alberta, saying when he brings all New Brunswick young people home to work in the gas industry, then he'll bring his own son back with them.
