In response to a CHSJ News question, Higgs tells us he is disappointed to hear the province's Acadian society is considering legal action over the cuts to education.
He says he finds it unfortunate that is the line of defence saying these groups decide to sue the government instead of working to be better than they are today. Higgs says spending more money is not the answer but, spending it in a more efficient manner is how things will change.
