HALIFAX — The Nova Scotia legislature reconvened Tuesday for its earliest spring session in decades. The Liberal government called the early session to deal with a heavy legislative agenda including the provincial budget and major education reforms — including the dissolution of seven of eight elected school boards. However, Premier Stephen McNeil has said an education bill that was expected immediately wouldn’t be tabled, although the government intends to pass legislation this spring. McNeil met with Nova Scotia Teachers Union president Liette Doucet on Monday. A protest rally Tuesday called Nova Scotians Rise Up saw a small group of placard waving people show up at the legislature.
