New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs says he is willing to call a party vote on his leadership but remains vague on whether he'll call an early provincial election.

Higgs is facing a rising wave of dissent from his caucus over his leadership style and his government’s changes to the province’s policy on sexual orientation in schools.
