Summary
Nova Scotia’s Speaker Danielle Barkhouse is reversing her decision to ban 36 people from the legislature building after they disrupted proceedings in March by singing and shouting during a vote — an incident that delayed the vote but ultimately didn’t stop it from passing. Facing widespread criticism from the Nova Scotia Arts Coalition, opposition parties, and even her own governing Progressive Conservatives, Barkhouse now says blanket bans were too extreme. Instead, she’s warning that future disruptions will result in removal from the gallery, and repeated offenses could lead to being barred from legislature grounds or committee rooms. The move comes just before lawmakers return to work, showing how political decisions can evolve under public pressure.
