‘The Manatee’ grills Higgs on Policy 713

Fredericton — This week, New Brunswickers will be on the lookout for the outcome of the government’s review of education Policy 713.

The policy, which ensures a safe and inclusive school environment for 2SLGBTQIA+ students in New Brunswick, caused a firestorm for Higgs when he suddenly called it into question. While he’s backpedalled a bit, many still expect Higgs to erode protections for 2SLGBTQIA+ students that his own government implemented in 2020.

Today, The Manatee sat down with Premier Higgs to grill him on Policy 713 and the whereabouts of the elusive Minister of Education, Bill Hogan.
