Federal minister LeBlanc calls changes to N.B.’s LGBTQ school policy a ‘mistake’
LeBlanc says he doesn’t think the prolonged and divisive debate in the legislature has been a success for Premier Blaine Higgs.
Two members of Higgs’ cabinet resigned this month after the government made it no longer mandatory for teachers to use preferred names or pronouns for transgender and nonbinary students under 16, among other changes to Policy 713. As well, six members of his government voted with the Opposition earlier in June to force a motion through the legislature asking the province’s child and youth advocate to review the changes made to the policy.After the two resignations, Higgs shuffled his cabinet Tuesday, bouncing out two more ministers who had criticized his leadership style.
