David Coon, MLA/Député

Last year, I introduced a Bill to amend the New Brunswick Education Act to enact recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. This bill would mandate government to incorporate aboriginal culture and history into the New Brunswick public school curriculum. The bill passed second reading with the unanimous support of the house, but the session ended before the bill could be passed through committee and third reading.

On Thursday, 10 November, 2016 I reintroduced An Act to Amend the Education Act for consideration again this year.
