On today’s show we talk with Memramcook-Tantramar MLA Megan Mitton after the release of the Child and Youth Advocate report on recent changes to education policy 713. Mitton says the legal problems identified in the report should be cause for changes coming from the government, but is concerned that won’t happen, and that the New Brunswick policy is being used as a test case for similar clawbacks of LGBTQ+ rights in other provinces.
