-There will be a Liberal leadership convention as a result of Brian Gallant's announcement on November 15, 2018, that he will be resigning as party leader. On December 28, 2018, he announced that he would be stepping down effective the next Liberal caucus meeting, expected in February 2019, when an interim leader will be chosen. As the Progressive Conservatives are leading a [[minority government]], it is expected that a leadership election will be held quickly so that a new leader can be in place in case there is an early general election.<ref>https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/brian-gallant-politics-future-1.4960442</ref>
