Burt Paulin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Burt Paulin (born August 13, 1955 in Montreal, Quebec) is a former Canadian politician in the Province of New Brunswick.

His family moved to Saint-Jean-Baptiste-de-Restigouche, New Brunswick when he was four months old and he is the author of a book Quelques notes historiques sur Olivier that tells the history of the area.

Burt Paulin was elected to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick in 2003 to represent the electoral district of Restigouche West. In early 2006, electoral boundaries were redrawn and Paulin's district was merged with Madawaska-la-Vallée to form Restigouche-la-Vallée.

As a result, Paulin, a Liberal, faced off against long time Progressive Conservative legislator Percy Mockler in the 2006 election. Mockler defeated Paulin.
