Nova Scotia Legislature's New Rules: No Singing, No Slogans

0:00Nova Scotia's legislature just reopened its doors to the public, but not without some strict new rules after a while protests shook things up. It all went down more than a week ago, on March 25th, when folks in the visitor gallery started singing and shouting late into the night, forcing a full closure to spectators. Speaker Danielle Barkhouse stepped in today, explaining these changes aimed to cut distractions for lawmakers much like to set up in Ottawa's House of Viewers, Commons. There's now faced bans on reading, writing, drawing, or using cell phones and tablets, plus no-frot roast seats in the east and west galleries. They're also cracking down hard on clothing, with words or slogans, all to keep debates focused as the house gets back to business. That's the story for today.
